Integration of vicidial with FreePBX

[walex]

Please can any one give the full detail of how i can integrate vicidial with freepbx, thanks for your quick responds .

[mflorell]

There are ways ofdoing this, but they are usually not easy or consistent.

We recommend putting them on separate machines.

We put them on the same box, but we do not "integrate" per se. We allow freepbx to create Extensions (that are then available to Vicidial) and Trunks (also available to vicidial) but we do not mix the dialplans because of the Extreme overhead of FreePBX. Also, the overhead of FreePBX can interfere with Vicidial's operation if you have more than just a couple users active unless you have a Powerful CPU.

But I have instructions if you are interested for a "simplistic" co-installation (I won't call it "integration").

[mflorell]

We would love to have instructions if you will post them.

Here's the simplistic "share the box" version:
* Assume your file structure is NOT the same as mine and you will need to move from/to different folders to find Vicidial files and Asterisk folder
* Built for older version of Vicidial so keep your wits about you during manual editing and KEEP COPIES of your files just in case
* I am Not Responsible for this baking your BIOS and/or making your dog run in circles.

# nano /etc/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf
delete [globals] section
change [default] to [ext-local-custom]
save and quit

# nano /etc/asterisk/manager_custom.conf
delete [general] section
save and quit

# nano /etc/asterisk/meetme.conf
add: '#include meetme_custom.conf' below meetme_additional.conf
save and quit

# nano /etc/asterisk/meetme_custom.conf
remove '[rooms]' declaration (already in meetme.conf, don't need it again)
save and quit

# nano /etc/asterisk/globals_custom.conf
delete [general] section
delete [globals] HEADER, leave the section there (the context has already been included in _additional, no need to dupe it)
change values for ALL the trunks to = IAX2/Vpstrgentoo27 (or whatever your trunk is)
delete [default] section (that would be the entire rest of the file to the bottom)

save and quit


*After this you will need to test with your CLI to assure that your Vicidial can Dial out through the correct Context and that FreePBX can still do so as well.
