I love the concept.... but.....

Downloaded and installed vicidial 1.0. Installation seemed to go fine, after I ignored the pause. Linux boots up just fine, can log into the console.

Now what? I'm missing something. It appears that neither asterisk or astguiclient are installed. None of the normal directories are there, no files for either, etc.

While I like to think I simply missed a step in the installation instructions, I'm a bit perplexed since:
- There are no installation instructions (which is the way I like it)
- I thought the purpose was it should just 'install'.

What lamebrain thing did I do?

Check the stickies first specially the known issues with VicidialNOW. Most probably you're not using an ide dvd/cd drive. Are you trying to install it via virtual machine (VirtualBox, VMware and etc.)?

Hi,

I faced the same problem. After installation ZAPTEL could not be loaded and asterisk was also missing. I attribute this to a older model motherbaord in your system. The workaround is manual installation ( i guess without zaptel it skips asterisk)

I can say so because, it installed smoothly within 15 minutes on my new server and everything worked prefectly, without doing any manual config. (SERVER SPECS : D-31 intel motherboard with 2gb ddrII and 420gb SATA)

Hope this helps.

The workaround for this is to manually untar vicidial.tar.gz from the cd and run the install script.

#mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
#cd /root
#tar zxvf /mnt/cdrom/vicidial.tar.gz
#cd Vicidial
#sh install_vici.sh

Reboot your system after installation has been completed (Can take up to a few minutes).

Thanks, I'll do the manual thing tomorrow. I was surprised it didn't just install, since Linux installed without a problem. I'll see how this goes.

Thanks, this seems to have solved my problem. I haven't gone back to look at the initial installation script, but the /mnt/cdrom directory was not created, I had to create this myself, then I could run the instructions mentioned above.
