Can I do that without breaking VicidialNow configuration? Or will I need to reinstall a bunch of stuff?

Hi

as per the users experience with Vicidial with Asterisk 1.4 is not stable

its more stabled in production with 1.2.X

ram

A quick note on 1.4.x, I have tested 1.4.18rc3 and it is much better than previous releases in that it only crashed once in 4 days of testing(keep in mind that 1.2.26.2 almost never crashes).

One troubling thing in 1.4.18rc3 is that when running VICIDIAL the load grew steadily over the course of the day to the point where there were some unacceptable load spikes.

I still don't recommend using 1.4.X, but it is getting better.

OK, thanks guys. I was trying to avoid manually setting up config files (1.4 version has a GUI for it), but I ended up doing it manually, so it don't matter anymore.

I've read several posts about Vicidial with asterisk 1.4, most of which were from a year ago or more. The general consensus seemed to be that 1.4 was not yet stable enough for high load. A few later posts (about 6 months ago on 1.4.18) indicated that 1.4 would be acceptable for small to medium deployments.

I am curious if anyone has tested the latest version of Vidicial with a recent stable version of 1.4 (such as 1.4.21 or 1.4.22) and what their experience was like in terms of load and stability.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Is there somebody that use latest asterisk 1.4 release with vicidial in production ? and have no problems.

Kind Regards

We have a couple of smaller clients using it in production for a couple months now. It seems stable, but in higher-load situations it will crash more often than 1.2.

We are actually in the midst of deploying one right now on ubuntu. Will let you know in a week or two how it has been "behaving".

Hi guys,

Hi Williamconley. Any updates about the implementation of Astguiclient on Asterisk 1.4?

Please , share.

Thanks,

i will have to apologize, we were using ubuntu and had some sound quality issues and put off the installation for a couple more weeks. we are still making sure it works properly before putting it in true production.

What kind of sound quality issues did you experienced with the ubuntu install?

ubuntu 64 bit is the best with quadcore xeon and more than 4go of ram and with same thing as voice timing or other thing for asterisk.
also i love opensuse .
i have setup them in many production and they work very fine

the post from 2008 regarding sound quality was before vicibox came out from The Vicidial Group. At the time, we were using Gentoo with good sound quality. Now we use Ubuntu (Vicibox) or OpenSUSE (Vicibox Redux) or VicidialNOW (CentOS) or Scratch install on Gentoo. All give good quality calls (Ubuntus problems were resolved last year by The Vicidial Group).

I have not yet noticed a sound quality difference between 64 bit / 32 bit OS (but admittedly do not get a lot of requests for 64 bit, so we do not test that a lot). We also have not found an improvement in quality by adding the word "Xeon" beyond the fact that you can multiply the processors and get "More CPU". So our Core2Quad and our Quad Xeon testing has so far shown no noticeable difference between processors IF all other items are the same (L2 Cache, Front Side Bus, CPU Speed, # of processors). But (unlike Core2Quads!) you CAN put multiple Xeon's in a properly outfitted motherboard and end up with 8 or more CPUs. Now THAT is nice.
