I want to install vicidial with 3 PC

1 main server -vicidial/astguiclient


2. My sql and php/apache. web folders

3. Asterisk

confirming;
I have started in Pc 1 installing slackware. as far as i know i have to install slackware in all Pc.
Now do I have to install phase 3 in Asterisk server PC?

If someone can let me know which softwares goes in which PC and how to connect this servers.

It will be really nice if some one can let me know.

thank you

What is your number 3 server for?

Do you want to load-balance VICIDIAL between servers 1 and 3?

[ssin14]

number 3 PC will load Asterisk /call processing.
Yes I was thinking to do that.

Read the LOAD_BALANCE.txt doc for information on load balancing across multiple VICIDIAL servers. As for other setup info, install everything on the VICIDIAL servers, MySQL server just needs the database and web server just needs the web directories.

now things are getting into my head. Infact vicidial is in Asterisk.

So I PC will run Vicidial servers and the other will have database (mysql) and apache/php and web directories. (can even create intranet)

The third one can used for controlling client Pcs in the network and restricting web access. (can I load vicidial in this server so that we have two vicidial servers? and for NOS can we use the server that handles web )

I have 3 idle PC and what you think I should do since you are experienced in this.

cheers

You must have Asterisk on a server to have it running vicidial. It is usually better not to have another major application running on it if you want to maximize performance of VICIDIAL.

one final thing . I setting my Ip address. Now I have 16 public static IP . I gave one to my server that will control client Pcs like this proxy NAT functions,NIC, Firewall, samba, etc.

Now I guess I have to put vicidial server in our internal network that will access the above server to make calls. How about giving public static Ip that does not have to go to this above server and thus maximise performance. Does it make any difference or its better.

[mflorell]

Going through a router/firewall will not affect performance at all.

It might be more difficult to configure though.

[ssin14]

thanks for that. But I am stuck in the phase 1. asking for login and a password. I created only one on number 35

[ssin14]

I am in phase 2 now. when I enter cd/usr/src it says no such file exist.

I would strongly suggest that you get a little more familiar with Linux before you go any further. Take a look at the free Slackware Manual:
http://www.slackbasics.org/html/filesystem.html

or buy another basic Linux book and read it.

It would also help if you followed the SCRATCH_INSTALL(SI) document exactly.

The problem you posed about is extremely basic Linux, and if you followed the exact command that the SI doc mentions you would not be having a problem.

[ssin14]

yes I think I need that as the problem to my previous questions was that I never put space after cd

thank you matt
