Asterisk Getting started with Asterisk asterisk installation on CentOS 6.X
Example
Asterisk is an open source framework for building communications applications. You can use it for any of the following:
- IP PBX systems
- VoIP gateways
- ISDN/ 3G IVVR
Here is a brief instruction for step by step installation of asterisk 1.8(or you can do for latest versions) on Redhat/centos (for other linux versions the commands are similar :) ).
Step 1: Get the asterisk source code files from: Asterisk downloads
Step 2: Login as root and run the commands:
yum update
yum install joe gcc-c++ gcc-gnat gcc-g77 gcc-objc gcc autoconf automake bison flex cvs rpm-build openssl-devel SDL-devel
yum install redhat-rpm-config sox sox-devel curl-devel ncurses-devel net-snmp net-snmp-libs net-snmp-utils libxml2-devel gd-devel libpng-devel doxygen
yum install mysql-server mysql-devel // if needed
chkconfig --level 345 mysqld on
service mysqld start
yum install php php-fpm php-cli php-mysql php-gd php-imap php-ldap php-odbc php-pear php-xml php-xmlrpc php-pecl-apc php-magickwand php-magpierss php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-mssql php-shout php-snmp php-soap php-tidy //optional for web application
yum install bind caching-nameserver
yum install system-config-date
cd /path/to/asterisk/
make clean
./configure
now the environment is ready to install asterisk.
make menuselect // here from Add-ons check the app-mysql, cdr-mysql, res-config-mysql
make
make install
make config
chkconfig asterisk on
Step 3: Connect to asterisk
asterisk -vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvc
stop now
service asterisk start
Step 4: now add the following in /etc/asterisk/cdr.conf file (dynamic CDR data insertion to DB)
;csv
[mysql]
usegmtime=yes ; log date/time in GMT. Default is "no"
loguniqueid=yes ; log uniqueid. Default is "no"
loguserfield=yes ; log user field. Default is "no"
and add the following in cdr_mysql.conf
[global]
hostname=localhost
dbname=your_asterisk_db
table=cdr
password=your_ast_pass
user=your_ast_user
;port=3306
;sock=/tmp/mysql.sock
;userfield=1
Step 5: Create your DB and create the CDR table :
create table cdr( uniqueid varchar(32) NOT NULL default '', userfield varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', accountcode varchar(20) NOT NULL default '', src varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', dst varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', dcontext varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', clid varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', channel varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', dstchannel varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', lastapp varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', lastdata varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', calldate datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', duration int(11) NOT NULL default '0', billsec int(11) NOT NULL default '0', disposition varchar(45) NOT NULL default '', amaflags int(11) NOT NULL default '0' );
Step 6: finally reboot the server
Now connect to asterisk using: asterisk -rvvvvv
