VICIDIAL SERVER setup

[ruben23]

hi, i would like to ask help regarding setting up a simple multi server vicidial on a two server hardware platform, how do i setup it. i already read the load balance docs but not getting the idea clearly.

Ive always heard and read your post on it:

Server 1 ---> Asterisk/vicidial

= This means that ill completely install asterisk, vicidial ( agc 2.05.5), crontabs, Perl cpan, software utilities (lame, sox, ttyload, etc.)
= configure astguiclient.conf
= Where should i put my FTP server...? on server1 or server2..
( problem also is when i install perl cpan- > install DBI
> force install DBD::mysql ----> this will not installed properly coz it need mysql devels..( what should i do with this.?)


Server 2 -----> Mysql/Apache

= ill install mysql server and client including devels on mysql
= Ill install apache web server ( any configuration for this..? i have to set..?)
= install vicidial ( agc 2.0.5) also here? how about the Perl cpan installation do i have to repeat install it again?

one more thing which should i run this on server1 or server 2

$ /usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_update_server_ip.pl –old-server_ip=10.10.10.15
$ /usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_area_code_populate.pl
$ cp /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk/extras/performance_test_leads.txt /usr/share/astguiclient/LEADS_IN/
$ /usr/share/astguiclient/VICIDIAL_IN_new_leads_file.pl --forcelistid=107 –forcephonecode=1

And what am i missing in here also..? on my setup
Thanks in Advance...

Easiest thing is just to install everything on all servers, then you can split the duties however you want, just make sure you point the dbserver_ip at the one you want to be the database server.

DB / Apache

- apache2
- mysql
- modify my.cnf and add skip-name-resolve and the other modifications, just look at download.vicidial.com/ubuntu there are example cnf files there
- eaccelerator
- www folder of astguiclient package
- edit dbconnect.php to change the settings to point to your db IP address
- phpmyadmin
- create the asterisk db here
- add the cron user to the asterisk db
- run the table creation scripts
- run the first server sql scripts



Asterisk / Vicidial
- Perl Modules
- Asterisk-Perl
- asterisk / libpri / zaptel of course
- astguiclient install, make sure you set your db ip to the db server, you can edit /etc/astguiclient.conf
- crontab entries
- vicidial init.d service
- run the update ip script
- run the add zip codes script
- run testing of lead insertion

What will really be cool is if somebody could write a "how to" for a multi server installation with Vicibox. So the users can just load Vicibox on all servers and the "how to" needs to explain how to disable components on the different servers.
