What version of Proxmox are you using now, Ward?? I recall at one point you were recommending staying on 1.3. Is that still valid?
 
If it's working, stick with it. Some of the latest releases don't even support OpenVZ. :crazy:
 
I have been running proxmox 1.5 for a long while now without any issues and using Joes dandi timing source on the host, just make sure you get the correct version which has openvz and kvm support

As soon as i can confirm the script will work on 1.6 i will make the move, i believe 1.3 is not longer supported.
 
Help with Proxmox 1.5 or 1.6 and Dahdi

sircolin,

I got into the Proxmox game shortly after i.5 came out and I've been trying every version to get dahdi installed. I have tried with all versions and just couldn't get that part working to save my life. I have followed every instruction that I can find here, the elastix forum and the rest of the internet, yet no joy. The system I'm trying to install on is a 1U Tyan Thunder dual Xeon. It is an older 64bit processor and does not support KVM according to Proxmox therefore I cannot load a .iso image.

I just installed Proxmox 1.6 but haven't attempted the dahdi install as yet. As a matter of fact, I haven't installed anything as yet.
If you or anyone would like to share the steps for installing dahdi on Proxmox 1.5 or 1.6 I'll certainly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Robin:banghead:
 
sure i have have a proxmox machine hosted with ovh i have written up some notes to may be of interest to you some things like ssh keys will not be the same but in the main it should help you you can find them here
im using joe's script on the host node and am using the 64 bit pbxiaf image that can be found here
cd /root
wget http://nerd.bz/dahdi
apt-get -y update
apt-get -y install zip
unzip install-dahdi.zip
rm install-dahdi.zip
chmod +x install-dahdi.sh
./install-dahdi.sh
Ok now you have got Dandi installed for telephone Conferences once you have made a PBXIAF Container you should run.
pabx-enable-conference
and follow the prompts entering your VEID when asked.
hope this helps

ward has written this up here

Col,

Thanks for sharing. This has given me some hope. I'll work on it asap and let you know how it turns out.

Robin.
 
The attached is what I keep getting:
dahdi-linux-complete-2.4.0+2.4.0/Makefile
./install-dahdi.sh: line 41: make: command not found
./install-dahdi.sh: line 42: make: command not found
./install-dahdi.sh: line 43: make: command not found
./install-dahdi.sh: line 116: /etc/init.d/dahdi: No such file or directory

Any ideas on where to go from here.

Thanks,

Robin
 
SirColin,

Thanks for your help so far. Everything appeared good after I got "make" installed, then coming down to the end, this is what happened.

What am I doing wrong?

Regards,
Robin
 
Ok no problems your not doing anything wrong you just need to get the host machine ready for the script so you need some extra stuff

Run this
apt-get install pve-headers-2.6.32-2-pve
and try it again

Im guessing you may need a few more files im doing this from memory so run that and then the script and were see where we are :-)
 
i guess we're closing in on the killer.
This is what I got:
vserve:~# apt-get install pve-headers-2.6.32-2-pve
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package pve-headers-2.6.32-2-pve
I don't know where to look for the header. Shouldn't it have been installed with Proxmox?

Thanks again.
 
Col,

I responded to your last question yesterday but I don't see it here. Maybe I was too stressed and didn't press the post button. The response to "uname -r" was "2.6.32-2-pve" or something close to that. After not hearing from you I decided to try something else which seemed too good to be true. I downloaded vmware 4.1and installed it on the same hardware. I then installed the PIAF 1.7.5.5 .iso 32 bit silver edition and to my surprise, it installed without a hitch. I even did updated.*. I then updated FreePBX, configured and extension, a trunk and an outbound route and was able to call with sound quality that was unexpectedly good.

The problem is: I was told this morning that vmware does not handle VoIP very well. Is that why it is not being discussed much on this forum?

I've made note of the issues from the Proxmox install, so if I have to go back, I can get to where we left off easily.

Thanks again,

Robin.
 
Hi Robin Yes i have done that a few times to :-) in the past im sure over this same issue !
i think your best and quickest route would be to post the same question in the proxmox forum over here in this thread http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/3159-Dahdi-On-v1.5?highlight=dahdi

I assume by the version number you have posted your have proxmox 1.6 installed where as i have 2.6.24-11-pve installed ( proxmox 1.5 ) not sure what to do about that. although i would be very interested to see if you get it working on 1.6 as i will upgrade in the coming weeks / months. and either way would like to update my notes in my blog.

Col,

I followed the thread on the Proxmox forum as you suggested and it was enlightening. Why should there be so much suffering in the world. I'm inclined to believe that there is a clandestine motive behind some of these offerings. Anyhow I really do appreciate your help and will revisit Proxmox if Vmware does not cut the mustard.

Kind Regards,
Robin
 
I have installed Proxmox 1.5 on my Dell SC440 with a Xeon 3220 CPU. I have an Intel dual 10/100 nic in the system, plus the factory 1Gb. I am hoping to get pfSense, PiaF 1.7.5.5, Open VPN AS, and Freenas or Clark Connect on the box. I want to get SRTP enabled on the PiaF, so I'm leaning toward Asterisk 1.6. Has anyone done this already? This system will be at my house. It will rarely have 3 concurrent calls.

If I go with asterisk 1.6 will I need the Dahdi timing source on base Proxmox install? Is it difficult to patch asterisk 1.4 for SRTP? Any insight into this is appreciated.

Lmao

I hope you get on ok with VMware!

@bgriff you can find a walk through of the shorewall firewall on my blog 4 posts down it works well untill your get a typo in your rules file there's not much error checking going on in there, also you will find a walk through of installing openvpn-as there also but if i had to do it again i would install openvpn not openvpn-as and maybe even install it on the host node.
