Asterisk 1.8

[mflorell]

You need to go into yast and install the gcc packages as well as the make and ncurses packages. I think that's about it and then you'll be able to compile the new asterisk 1.8

[KeithHBW]

I enabled the rest of the ncurses packages. Here are the errors I get after running:
./configure; make clean; make; make install

[mflorell]

you probably need to download and install the latest dahdi packages from Digium.

[KeithHBW]

wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telep ... ent.tar.gz
tar xvzf dahdi-linux-complete
cd dahdi
make

Code: Select all

make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/dahdi-linux-complete-2.6.2+2.6.2/linux/drivers/dahdi/firmware'
You do not appear to have the sources for the 3.1.10-1.19-default kernel installed.

I tried:
wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/opensuse/update ... noarch.rpm
rpm -i kernel-source-3.1.10-1.19.1.noarch.rpm

Still same error. Any thoughts?

[mflorell]

With OpenSuSE it's always best to install things through the "yast" Software Management utility. It will be able to include any prerequisites for things that you want to install.

Is it condition to install the vicidial dahdi or we can use the latest dahdi existed at digium?
In other words, is there a special dahdi for vicidial that is required to be used?

[mflorell]

You should be using the latest Dahdi from Digium. Since Vicidial will function with the stock and unaltered Asterisk 1.8.21.0 there shouldn't be any compatibility issues. Our patched version of Asterisk 1.8.21.0 includes extra SIP error code logging and the ability to use Sangoma's CPA product.

HI guys i have setup latest SVN trunk with latest dahdi and ASterisk 1.8.21-vici

seem for small number of agent i got good feedback but when i tried 25-30 agents dialing predictively..Many unusual issue arises...like astersk 1.8 just suddenly crashed and unusual error logs causing agent not able to connect.

[williamconley]

define "suddenly crashed"? if you mean "segfault", that's a bad asterisk install. perhaps a bad .iso download, perhaps a bad cpu/memory stick/hd/drive controller/CD drive. best bet is a fresh install from an MD5 verified CD. if you don't mean segfault ... you should post the actual error.

i note you specifically omitted your installation method. this is often the harbinger of "installation problem". it is often helpful if you include the reason you cannot use the stock Vicibox installation method.

[mflorell]

We have Asterisk 1.8.21 running on over a dozen servers for a while now and it has proven to be very stable so far.

I believe we are working on testing the latest 1.8.23 release now, and should have a -vici patched version out soon.

[bghayad]

Hello Matt;

When do you expect to be part of the vicibox installation?

Regards
Bilal

[mflorell]

It's part of Vicibox 5, which is in final beta and was just released:
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=29011

[williamconley]

And now apparently quite close to stable (in fact, may be "there" right now).

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=29296

[mflorell]

We have several clients running Asterisk 1.8 right now, so we consider it ready for production.

[bghayad]

To migrate the configuration:

Backup/restore asterisk database, run the migration script to upgrade asterisk database. Then, go to the Admin page --> server and put the right asterisk version.

Is it exactly like this, or something else required?

Bilal

[bghayad]

It seems that vicibox 5 and vicibox 4 both of them are using vicidial version 2.8 which means no need to apply any upgrade script to upgrade asterisk database. Right?

From the other side, after I installed vicibox version 5.0.3, and logged in to the asterisk console and found the asterisk version is 1.8.23.0-vici but at the Admin --> Servers, the mentioned version is 1.4.21.2, so the question here: Do I have to modify it manually and place 1.8.23.0 (or 1.8.23.0-vici?)?

Bilal

[mflorell]

Which version of vicibox 5 did you download?

[bghayad]

ViciBox5.x86_64-5.0.3

Bilal

[mflorell]

If you are using 5.0.3 then yes you do need to change the Asterisk version in servers to 1.8.23.0. Then reboot your server.
