Asterisk

hello forum, will it be possible to manually install the source digium package of asterisk on UCS? i installed asterisk4UCS but it was in German and not English. i want to install asterisk now on my UCS not going through the app center. who knows what to do and how ?

It shouldnt be a problem to follow one of the existing Howtos for installing Asterisk on Debian like How to install Asterisk on Debian but you will loose some of the benefits of this integration.
I have seen that Asterisk4UCS currently doesnt provide english locale for the settings. Fortunately UCS makes it easy to configure additional languages in extended attributes which are resposible for the GUI extensions.
I’d try to contact the vendor and ask if they plan a translation.

Best Regards,
Dirk Ahrnke

i tried to follow that step given in the linked document but it was not working. i guess i didn’t do it very well. i tried to install it from the root terminal and also the administrator terminal both to no avail. can you tell me where or how to start it. thanks.

Its hard to help without detailed informations. We can probably say whats going wrong or has to be done if we could see some error messages.

BTW: I got the information that english localization of Asterisk4UCS is planned for the next release.

on trying to install the asterisk, these are the errors i got after " ./configure"

please what is the solution.

configure: error: in `/root/usr/src/asterisk-11.7.0': configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
It doesnt make sense to proceed after this error.

See `config.log' for more details

i have passed that level of issue, i rerun "./configure " and i am getting this error " configure: error: *** termcap support not found (on modern systems, this typically means the ncurses development package is missing) ", i searched for the solution every forum told me to do this " apt-get install ncurses-dev ", i did but it still wont work. is it because it is univention.?

ncurses-dev is only available in our unmaintained repository, try this:

ucr set repository/online/unmaintained='yes' apt-get update; apt-get install ncurses-dev

Thanks all, i have been able to install the asterisk successfully on UCS. the only problem now is how to access the web interface to configure it. i have tried using the IP add of the server but it comes back with the UCM.

how do i access the free pbx console alone and not UCM.

can they run concurrently without conflict.

regards,

Hello dmills,

[quote]how do i access the free pbx console alone and not UCM.

Are you talking about the “free pbx console” (freepbx.org) ? This is not Asterisk alone, but rather a Linux distribution on its own, containing Asterisk and a management interface. You would never install it on top of any existing Linux installation.

If you’re talking about something different, please specify what it is. As far as I know, (using Asterisk for quite some years) Asterisk doesn’t come with user interfaces at all. It provides the so-called “Asterisk Management Interface (AMI)” on TCP port 5038, and it is your turn to choose what to plug in there. Using my favourite search engine, I found http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/asteriskWeb.htm.

Frank Greif.
