#installing FreePBX and Asterisk on Natty (Tested, 11.04), Maverick 10.10, Lucid 10.04, Oneiric 11.10 (Untested)

#Revision 1.0 by Mick Petrick (please add your revision number and date following)

#updated 13 June 2011

#known bugs (see fix following):

#also see towards the end of the script for more bugs and fixes

#when saving configuration changes to the trunk, getting an error: Unable to connect to manager localhost:5038 (111): Connection refused [FATAL] Unable to connect to Asterisk Manager from /var/lib/asterisk/bin/retrieve_conf, aborting.

#The only cure for the bug was to backup the /etc/asterisk folder, and try to reinstall asterisk if possible, if it won't reinstall after following the links at the bottom of this script, then copy the /etc/asterisk files back. It's a bit messy, but what works even better is to MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE NOTES AFTER THE AMPORTAL SETUP AND REFRESH ALL OF YOUR MODULES BEFORE PRESSING THE RED BUTTON ON THE TOP OF THE ADMIN TO SAVE YOUR CONFIGURATION CHANGES.

#if you don't want FreePBX installed then you can use the Lucid script at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AsteriskOnUbuntu/Current

#if you run this script more than once and get the dreaded "Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk/asterisk/asterisk.ctl exist?)" error you'll need to check /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf to say 'astrundir => /var/run/asterisk'.

#after running this script, if you need to debug try 'asterisk -c' and follow the log, also try 'tail /var/log/asterisk/messages' and of course the standard 'asterisk -vvvvvr' or 'safe_asterisk'.

#this is an untested script which I hope should be accurate

#it's best to read through this script before running it

#it's assumed that you're running from 'sudo -i' or su user

#better still, copy and paste each section in to your command line

#if any part of the install doesn't work for any reason, try 'apt-get update' and try again

#this doesn't include configuring any zaptel drivers, to install XP100P see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AsteriskOnUbuntu/Current

#sudo -i

#change to your preferred MySQL password

export MYSQL_ROOT_PW=peachy2keen

#change to freepbx version found at http://www.freepbx.org/download-freepbx

export FREEPBX_VERSION=2.9.0

export ASTERISK_DB_PW=amp109

#put in your ip address here, use 'ifconfig' to find

#if you're using dhcp ip, then it's best to use static if you can and know how and it works

export IP_ADDRESS=10.1.1.16

#remove the following comments if updatedb and locate don't work, this version doesn't include 'find', but running 'apt-get install findutils' after the install reinstalls it

#apt-get remove findutils

#mkdir /usr/src

#cd /usr/src

#wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/findutils/4.4.0-2ubuntu2/https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/findutils_4.4.0.orig.tar.gz

#cd findutils_4.4.0.orig.tar.gz

#current known bug 1 (with fix following): when I run 'grep -r sqlite /etc/asterisk/*' it shows I'm running sqlite, when I run 'asterisk -c' it reports 'Registered Config Engine sqlite' and '.PostgreSQL RealTime: Failed to connect database asterisk on 127.0.0.1: '. Obviously I want to configure for MySQL not Postgres.

#current known bug 2: (with fix following) the message log reports 'manager.c: 127.0.0.1 failed to authenticate as admin'. This may very well be related to known bug number 1.

#for the bug fixes a few edits to the config files should do the trick. Alternatively the Hardy install for Asterisk script works quite well. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AsteriskScriptOnHardy

# to fix these bugs I did the following, uncomment the following lines if needed

#rm -r /etc/asterisk

#apt-get -y update

#apt-get upgrade

#apt-get -y remove asterisk

#apt-get -y install asterisk

#apt-get install --reinstall asterisk

#cd usr/src/freepbx-${FREEPBX_VERSION}
