Setup Mysql

/etc/init.d/mysqld start

mysql_secure_installation
chkconfig mysqld on

service mysqld stop

cp /etc/my.cnf /etc/my.cnf.original

echo “” > /etc/my.cnf

vi /etc/my.cnf    ; copy the below config to this file.

[mysql.server] user = mysql #basedir = /var/lib [client] port = 3306 socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock [mysqld] datadir = /var/lib/mysql #tmpdir = /home/mysql_tmp socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock user = mysql old_passwords = 0 ft_min_word_len = 3 max_connections = 800 max_allowed_packet = 32M skip-external-locking log-error = /var/log/mysqld/mysqld.log query-cache-type = 1 query-cache-size = 32M long_query_time = 1 #slow_query_log = 1 #slow_query_log_file = /var/log/mysqld/slow-queries.log tmp_table_size = 128M table_cache = 1024 join_buffer_size = 1M key_buffer = 512M sort_buffer_size = 6M read_buffer_size = 4M read_rnd_buffer_size = 16M myisam_sort_buffer_size = 64M max_tmp_tables = 64 thread_cache_size = 8 thread_concurrency = 8 # If using replication, uncomment log-bin below #log-bin = mysql-bin [mysqldump] quick max_allowed_packet = 16M [mysql] no-auto-rehash [isamchk] key_buffer = 256M sort_buffer_size = 256M read_buffer = 2M write_buffer = 2M [myisamchk] key_buffer = 256M sort_buffer_size = 256M read_buffer = 2M write_buffer = 2M [mysqlhotcopy] interactive-timeout [mysqld_safe] #log-error = /var/log/mysqld/mysqld.log #pid-file = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

mkdir /var/log/mysqld
mv /var/log/mysqld.log /var/log/mysqld/mysqld.log
touch /var/log/mysqld/slow-queries.log
chown -R mysql:mysql /var/log/mysqld
service mysqld restart

Update the Timezone

Configure the system time and update it.

Customize the timezone. Take a look inside /usr/share/zoneinfo/ for all possible values.

rm /etc/localtime
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Kolkata /etc/localtime
rdate -s nist1-ny.ustiming.org

Setup CPAN and install libraries

yum install perl-CPAN
yum install perl-YAML
perl -MCPAN -e shell     ; just press enter for all the questions.

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.

install CPAN::Meta::Requirements

install CPAN

reload cpan

install YAML

install MD5

install Digest::MD5

install Digest::SHA1

install readline

install Bundle::CPAN

reload cpan

install DBI

force install DBD::mysql

install Net::Telnet

install Time::HiRes

install Net::Server

install Switch

install Mail::Sendmail

install Unicode::Map

install Jcode

install Spreadsheet::WriteExcel

install OLE::Storage_Lite

install Proc::ProcessTable

install IO::Scalar

install Spreadsheet::ParseExcel

install Curses

install Getopt::Long

install Net::Domain

install Term::ReadKey

install Term::ANSIColor

install Spreadsheet::XLSX

install Spreadsheet::Read

install LWP::UserAgent

install HTML::Entities

install HTML::Strip

install HTML::FormatText

install HTML::TreeBuilder

install Time::Local

install MIME::Decoder

install Mail::POP3Client

install Mail::IMAPClient

install Mail::Message

install IO::Socket::SSL

install MIME::Base64

install MIME::QuotedPrint

install Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt

quit

In the end, I usually run all these commands once again to make sure its all installed. and make sure you get following output for each modul
cpan> install Mail::Message Mail::Message is up to date (2.115). cpan> install MIME::QuotedPrint MIME::QuotedPrint is up to date (3.13).

Installing the Asterisk-Perl module

NOTE: Do NOT use the 0.09 or any newer version, they do not work with ViciDial.

cd /usr/src
wget http://download.vicidial.com/required-apps/asterisk-perl-0.08.tar.gz
tar -zxf asterisk-perl-0.08.tar.gz
cd asterisk-perl-0.08
perl Makefile.PL
make all
make install

Installing additional software from source

Next, you will download, compile and install the following software.

lame

ttyload

iftop

mtop

mytop

htop

sipsak

ploticus

LAME:

LAME is an MP3 encoder used to convert audio files from WAV to MP3. Some prefer GSM usually, but others have standardized on MP3 so you would need this utility to be loaded to use that option.

cd /usr/src
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/lame/lame/3.99/lame-3.99.5.tar.gz
tar -zxf lame-3.99.5.tar.gz
cd lame-3.99.5
./configure
make
make install

SOX:

SoX is a cross-platform command line utility that can convert various formats of computer audio files in to other formats.

tar -zxf sox-14.4.1.tar.gz
cd sox-14.4.1
./configure
make -s
make install

TTYLOAD:

ttyload is a simple terminal application that shows the processor load in a graphical time-based scrolling graph. I use it to view how loaded the system is and it visualizes load spikes very well.

cd /usr/src
wget http://download.vicidial.com/required-apps/ttyload-0.5.tar.gz
tar -xvzf ttyload-0.5.tar.gz
cd ttyload-0.5
nano ttyload.h

insert this #include directive just above the #define directives, then save and close the ttyload.h file
#include <time.h>

make
ln -s /usr/src/ttyload-0.5/ttyload /usr/bin/ttyload

IFTOP:

iftop is a good console bandwidth visualization tool that shows you active connections, where they are going to/from and how much of your precious bandwidth they are using.

cd /usr/src
wget http://www.ex-parrot.com/~pdw/iftop/download/iftop-0.17.tar.gz
tar -zxf iftop-0.17.tar.gz
cd iftop-0.17
./configure
make
make install

MTOP:

mtop is a great utility for real-time monitoring of mysql and the queries that are running in it.
Note: the root mysql password must be blank before installing this

cd /usr/src
wget http://download.vicidial.com/required-apps/mtop-0.6.6.tar.gz
tar -zxf mtop-0.6.6.tar.gz
cd mtop-0.6.6
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

MYTOP:

mytop is is an optional utility for monitoring the threads and overall performance of mysql
Note: the root mysql password must be blank before installing this

cd /usr/src
wget http://jeremy.zawodny.com/mysql/mytop/mytop-1.6.tar.gz
tar -zxf mytop-1.6.tar.gz
cd mytop-1.6
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

HTOP:

htop is an interactive process viewer for Linux

cd /usr/src
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/htop/htop/1.0.2/htop-1.0.2.tar.gz
tar -zxf htop-1.0.2.tar.gz
cd htop-1.0.2
./configure
make
make install

SIPSAK:

sipsak is an optional utility that VICIDIAL can use to send messages to an agent’s SIP-based phone(like the Snom 320) to display text on their LCD screen.

cd /usr/src
wget http://download.vicidial.com/required-apps/sipsak-0.9.6-1.tar.gz
tar -zxf sipsak-0.9.6-1.tar.gz
cd sipsak-0.9.6
./configure
make
make install
/usr/local/bin/sipsak –version

PLOTICUS:

ploticus is a free graph creation package that allows you to create line graphs within PNG files simply by creating a config file and a data file. ViciDial uses this package to generate server performance graphs that can be displayed real-time within the ViciDial reports page.

cd /usr/src
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ploticus/ploticus/2.42/ploticus242_src.tar.gz
tar -zxf ploticus242_src.tar.gz
cd ploticus242/src/
make clean
make
make install
mkdir -p /var/www/html/vicidial/ploticus/
cp pl /var/www/html/vicidial/ploticus/

eAccelerator :

cd /usr/src
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/eaccelerator/eaccelerator/eAccelerator%200.9.6.1/eaccelerator-0.9.6.1.zip
unzip eaccelerator-0.9.6.1.zip
cd eaccelerator-0.9.6.1
export PHP_PREFIX=”/usr”
$PHP_PREFIX/bin/phpize
./configure –enable-eaccelerator=shared –with-php-config=$PHP_PREFIX/bin/php-config
make
make install

Configure php.ini

vi /etc/php.ini

Change the following values in your php.ini file.

Customize the date.timezone so you don’t end up with a bunch of php errors complaining about it not being defined.

error_reporting  =  E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

memory_limit = 48M

short_open_tag = On

max_execution_time = 330

max_input_time = 360

post_max_size = 48M

upload_max_filesize = 42M

default_socket_timeout = 360

date.timezone = Asia/Kolkata

Add the following lines to the dynamic extensions section of php.ini:

Note: For CentOS 32-bit, use this below: zend_extension=”/usr/lib/php/modules/eaccelerator.so”

;Dynamic Extensions

zend_extension=”/usr/lib64/php/modules/eaccelerator.so”

;For CentOS 32-bit: zend_extension=”/usr/lib/php/modules/eaccelerator.so”

eaccelerator.shm_size=”48″

eaccelerator.compress_level=”9″

mkdir /tmp/eaccelerator
chmod 0777 /tmp/eaccelerator
php –v

Editing the Apache config file

vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

To disable logging, change:

CustomLog logs/access_log common

to this:

CustomLog /dev/null common

To enable web browsing of Recordings on Asterisk server, add the below line  at last line of httpd.conf

Alias /RECORDINGS/ “/var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE/”

<Directory “/var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE”>
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
<files *.mp3>
Forcetype application/forcedownload
</files>
</Directory>

Restart the Apache web server to apply the changes

service httpd restart
chkconfig httpd on

Installing Asterisk

Any time you upgrade the Linux kernel you must recompile/install dahdi for the new kernel.

Asterisk must be compiled with dahdi support.

Note: The install MUST be done in the following order:

Minor note: dahdi-linux-complete-current.tar.gz and libpri-1.4-current.tar.gz may contain an updated version than what I am currently using, therefore the directory names may be different than shown below.

mkdir /usr/src/asterisk

Installing astGUIclient (ViciDial)

First, login to mysql to create the database, add a couple users and assign privileges.

mysql -u root –p

Enter these MySQL commands:

CREATE DATABASE `asterisk` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;

CREATE USER ‘cron’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘1234’;
GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,LOCK TABLES on asterisk.* TO cron@’%’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘1234’;
GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,LOCK TABLES on asterisk.* TO cron@localhost IDENTIFIED BY ‘1234’;
GRANT RELOAD ON *.* TO cron@’%’;
GRANT RELOAD ON *.* TO cron@localhost;
flush privileges;
quit

I am going to install the latest 2.x SVN trunk which supports asterisk 11

mkdir /usr/src/astguiclient
cd /usr/src/astguiclient
svn checkout svn://svn.eflo.net:3690/agc_2-X/trunk
cd trunk
perl install.pl

You will have to define various things like IP address of the server

It will also ask you where is the web root, use /var/www/html
make sure to enter 11 for asterisk version
and y for copy sample config files

Leave the other login settings as-is unless you already know how to update the database and other asterisk config files.

Import sample data

Login to mysql to run some commands

mysql -u root -p

Enter these MySQL commands:

mysql>SET GLOBAL connect_timeout=60;
mysql>use asterisk;

mysql>\. /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk/extras/MySQL_AST_CREATE_tables.sql
mysql>\. /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk/extras/first_server_install.sql
mysql>\. /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk/extras/sip-iax_phones.sql

mysql>quit

In the Linux terminal, enter these commands

/usr/share/astguiclient /ADMIN_area_code_populate.pl

Final Adjustments

Make several entries in the rc.local of your system.

vi /etc/rc.d/rc.local

On a new system I just overwrite the file with the following:

#!/bin/sh

#

# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.

# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don’t

# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local

# OPTIONAL enable ip_relay(for same-machine trunking and blind monitoring)

/usr/share/astguiclient/ip_relay/relay_control start 2>/dev/null 1>&2

# Disable console blanking and powersaving

/usr/bin/setterm -blank

/usr/bin/setterm -powersave off

/usr/bin/setterm -powerdown
