Here is a custom scratch install guide to I put together for people to use.
Please help keep it updated.

This is for CentOS/Redhat only.

wow thanks.

i'll going to try this one. i got stuck w/ scratch install using debian 5/6

Beautiful.

Show a list of logs to check for possible conflicts/errors. (cron missing a password, ntp not updating ...)

You should put this on a wiki

DONE.

I updated it.

i manage to install everything so far. but when i ran "screen -ls" i get this output:

[root@vici02 ~]# screen -ls
There are screens on:
4058.ASTfastlog (Detached)
4055.ASTVDadapt (Detached)
2 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-root.

instead of the one shown in the instruction:

There are screens on:
4090.asterisk (Detached)
4077.ASTfastlog (Detached)
8325.ASTsend (Detached)
8322.ASTupdate (Detached)
4004.astshell20110228193500 (Detached)
8334.ASTVDremote (Detached)
8328.ASTlisten (Detached)
12192.ASTVDadapt (Detached)
8331.ASTVDauto (Detached)
9 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-root.

check if asterisk is running, check if Net::Telnet is installed on the perl modules, also check the other required perl modules if they are installed

sir i already verified that Net::Telnet and other Perl modules are installed.

Asterisk is also running.

Check your cron job and startup file.
Does the contents match the tutorial?

crontab -e
nano /etc/rc.d/rc.local


Check root's mail for errors:

tail -n 250 /var/mail/root
or use: mutt

a simpler solution may be to run each of the missing scripts and find why each fails. resolve that issue and you'll eventually get all of them running.

did you change the IP address after installation? is asterisk running AND accessible by the process running the scripts? is the keepalive running? do you have those items chosen for "keepalive" in the astguiclient.conf file? are all your entries in astguiclient.conf correct?

IF you find anything in the page that is incorrect/unclear/misleading, please do post back. this is a good thing to have available for the public

after rerun/install of perl, rc.local, and crontab i managed to add 1 line to the expected output of screen -ls

There are screens on:
x 4077.ASTfastlog (Detached)
x 8334.ASTVDremote (Detached)
x 12192.ASTVDadapt (Detached)
x 8331.ASTVDauto (Detached)
9 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-root.

i still lack:

4090.asterisk (Detached)
8325.ASTsend (Detached)
8322.ASTupdate (Detached)
4004.astshell20110228193500 (Detached)
8328.ASTlisten (Detached)

hi sir, im rerunning scripts that i might have missed.

i did not change ip address (btw, i have 2 interface 1 local 1 public)

not "rerun" install scripts. run the scripts that are missing. you have them assigned in the "keepalive" section of astguiclient.conf and the scripts all reside in /usr/share/astguiclient ... and can be executed with "perl scriptname --help" for options of execution. if you run them directly you will likely get the error, if any, causing the failure.

then you'll know what to attack in your installation

Is this for a single Server Setup like Goautodial? or a Combo Asterisk & Web, Separate MySql DB?

http://ray-solomon.com/vicidial.html

single server. but combined with the multi-server manual could be used for either.

FYI, the CentOS guide has been updated again. This time for SVN trunk. Hope this helps some people.

hi, i followed all the installation instructions. It seems to be working because i was able to call outbound,. the problems i encountered so far are
1. the extensions are not able to call other extension
2. the list loaders are not working

i am unable to load the webpage "http://ray-solomon.com/vicidial.html"
Is there any alternate link to this?
