VICIdial Scratch Installation in Centos 6.x, Asterisk 1.8, Dahdi & Libpri

***********************************************************

1. Centos 6.x installation in Linux text mode
2. Dependicies installation for vicidial asterisk
3. Asterisk , Dahdi ,libpri installation
4. Vicidial installation
5. Other Settings

***********************************************************


Step 1 : Centos 6.x Installation in Linux text mode

Download site http://centos.communilink.net/

Check this link to install centos in linux text mode for vicidial installation link
For netinstall step check this link

After Installation
Disable Firewall and Selinux before starting the Installations
Stopping the Firewall
[~]# iptables -F
[~]# service iptables save

Disabling the Selinux
[~]# nano /etc/selinux/config

# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
#       enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
#       permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
#       disabled - SELinux is fully disabled.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are:
#       targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected.
#       strict - Full SELinux protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted # SETLOCALDEFS= Check local definition changes SETLOCALDEFS=0

Step 2 : Dependicies Installations for vicidial & asterisk

........................................................................................................
CPAN modules installation
........................................................................................................
yum -y install perl-YAML
perl -MCPAN -e shell

You will then go through CPAN setup, just hit ENTER for most prompts except
for the mirrors list, you will want to select at least 4 mirrors
yes for manual configuration
enter for the next 18 prompts
for the "make install" option, it's a good idea to add UNINST=1
enter for the next 4 prompts
select your continent and country
select a few cpan mirrors
enter for the next 2 prompts
Once you see the cpan> prompt you can begin installing modules.

Final Adjustments

.......................................................................................................

It is important to change the externip and localnet values in the sip.conf

The externip needs to be the public ip of your server.
The localnet will consist of the public ip/netmask of your server.

nano /etc/asterisk/sip.conf
externip = 10.66.226.132
localnet=192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0

Run this perl script to update the server_ip fields in the asterisk tables (copy the command as-is)

/usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_update_server_ip.pl --old-server_ip=10.10.10.15

Update music on hold configuration

nano /etc/asterisk/musiconhold.conf
;
; Music on Hold -- Sample Configuration
;

[default]
mode=files
directory=/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3

[quiet]
mode=files
directory=/var/lib/asterisk/quiet-mp3

#include musiconhold-vicidial.conf

* There are other sample configration files in /usr/src/astguiclient/docs/conf_examples/ that you might want to look at and maybe copy from and customize.

Lastly, reboot the machine

reboot

Diagnostics

.......................................................................................................

After reboot, check your logs for any errors, make sure asterisk is up and running. Be proactive and look for problems before you start configuring vicidial.

Run these commands to view log files:
tail -f -n 50 /var/log/asterisk/messages
tail -f -n 50 /var/log/messages
more /var/log/dmesg
tail -f -n 40 /etc/httpd/logs/error_log
tail -f -n 40 /var/log/maillog
tail -f -n 40 /var/log/cron
Run this command:
screen -ls
The output should look similar to this:

Start using vicidial
Login to vicidial and configure it.

The default username is: 6666 and the password is: 1234

A note about security

When you get vicidial configured and working, make sure to follow basic common sense server administration rules like setting up a firewall, changing default passwords, disallow remote mysql connections or limiting it, etc...
