Can VICIDIAL run autonomously

[enjay]

Is it possible to run two instances of VICIDIAL (i.e. 2 seperate web interfaces) on the same system)

I am looking to upgrade and want to put a second version on the same systems for testing.

1 database/apache
3 asterisk/vicidial

is this possible or will the scripts confuse?

Yes it is possible. You need to have:

- a different database for each ('asterisk', 'asterisk2', etc...)
- a different set of web folders(agc, vicidial) for each system
- no /etc/astguiclient.conf file on your web server, instead you need to configure the dbconnect.php file in each web directory to the custom settings.

I am running a separate test system myself like this and all runs well.

Database - easy enough
Web folders - easy enough

removing /etc/astguiclient.conf is what im trying to understand.

Essentially I have 3 Asterisk/VICIDIAL servers and 1 DB/Web Server

The DB/Web Server seems pretty strait forward (new database 'asterisk2' and make a directory that holds all the new web pages).

On the script side of things do I need to add cron entries "For Every Server" now for every script since /etc/astguiclient.conf will no longer exist?

Will the new scripts /usr/share/astguiclient/* run fine with the older web pages since they will be overwritten by the new install.

Thanks,

You ONLY remove the astguiclient.conf file on the web server. This is because the dbconnect.php scripts will default to that file for their settings, so you need to remove it so you can use settings that you put in manually to each dbconnect.php file.

You still need the astguiclient.conf file on your Asterisk/VICIDIAL servers. And you will need to run all of the crontab scripts on each Asterisk/VICIDIAL server.
