#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):

#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 (unconfirmed) fix is here. See http://www.freepbx.org/v2/ticket/4400. Or see http://www.fonality.com/trixbox/forums/trixbox-forums/open-discussion/reload-failed-because-retrieve-conf-encountered-error-1

#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

#to get more info on how to install asterisk-sounds if not installed, etc see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AsteriskScriptOnHardy and look at the script https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AsteriskScriptOnHardy?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=installZaptelAsteriskFreePBX_1.2.sh

#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

rm -r /etc/asterisk

apt-get -y update

apt-get upgrade

apt-get remove asterisk

apt-get -y install asterisk

apt-get -y install --reinstall asterisk

#run installamp again

./install_amp --username=root --password={MYSQL_ROOT_PW}
