Got it working - awsome!!!!
I will post a more detailed info on installing for FreeBSD after furthure testing- It took two of us
here are the basics to start:
installed mysql50-server from ports
installed apache2 from ports
installed screen & varous other items from ports
installed asterisk from ports
had to edit /usr/local/etc/rc.d/zaptel.sh (had to add ztdummy.ko)
recompiled asterisk with patch & amd per SCRATCH INSTALL
the rest i followed the SCRATCH doc for. Then had a few issues:
modified mysql tables - will post details
add screen sym link to /usr/bin => /usr/local/bin/screen - scripts were hard coded.
also had to change the ps command line to:
@psoutput = `/bin/ps -o pid,args -A`;
-for each script in /usr/share/astguiclient
I will be testing this with load - just have one phone for basic testing right now. I will post the results.
This is FreeBSD 5.4 - I will get it working on 6.1 now that I know the issue.
again thankx for the support site - it really helped.
