Tom King has released the first wave of scripts for PBX in a Flash v1.2. Info is below. All of this should be available on pbxinaflash.org soon. In the meantime, manually download and install as desired.

The installation instructions are similar to the deprecated ones except backups. For these two, the links are in the rewritten manuals.

PBX in a Flash Version 1.2 – Asterisk 1.4 based (Production Class)PBX in a Flash Version 1.2 – Asterisk 1.6 BETA based (Experimental)
*Experimental* Means these are all beta programs and may not work AT ALL. Notwithstanding these are being used by the PIAF Dev Team every day and work *HERE*. Your mileage may vary, no warranties express or implied, and running these programs may cause you to have to reinstall PBX in a Flash Version 1.2 – Asterisk 1.6 BETA at any time. Do not use PBX in a Flash Version 1.2 – Asterisk 1.6 BETA on a production machine *EVER*!
 
Nerd Vittles Scripts

We're also making good progress on the Nerd Vittles scripts. All of the available scripts work AS IS with PBX in a Flash 1.2 using Asterisk 1.4 and the 32-bit installation ISO.

None have been tested with the 64-bit ISO. By tomorrow we should have some answers. Unless you have a machine you don't mind breaking, WAIT if you've used the 64-bit install.

If you've been following Nerd Vittles the last few weeks, you know how happy we are with Digium over the (continued) dialplan and application carnage in Asterisk 1.6.

There is some good news, however. It IS now possible to install Cepstral TTS Engine with Asterisk compatibility thanks to the work of Darren Sessions. Just follow our tutorial to get it installed and working. Be sure to use the 1.6 version of app-swift!! There's a 20% discount coupon here to purchase a Cepstral license. Flite is still broken!

We've only tested one Nerd Vittles TTS application with Asterisk 1.6 thus far. It was the Yahoo NewsClips app. So long as you set the TTS engine to Cepstral following these instructions, it will work with one additional change in the dialplan. The Asterisk geniuses have made (another) dialplan syntax change in 1.6 that (again) breaks stuff. The old syntax for an AGI call was
Code: 
exten => 511,5,AGI(nv-news.php|topstories)
The Asterisk Development Team performance-boosting improvement :icon_bs:now requires that it look like this in Asterisk 1.6:
Code: 
exten => 511,5,AGI(nv-news.php,topstories)
So edit /etc/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf and change all of the | characters to commas.

My apologies for the sarcasm, but it really reinforces the fact that some of these folks really don't give a rats a$$ what they break as long as they don't have to clean up the mess!

Am I to understand that Web-MeetMe v3 is production ready now for 1.4?

It is as it was in PIAF 1.1 - No Changes. I use it with a couple of clients is all I can say. These clients customize it for their own use however.

Could it use improvement? Yes.

Is it still rough? You bet.

Does it work? Yep.

Is it for a production Environment? You will have to decide for yourself. I generally don't install any additional software onto my production machines except for the backup stuff.

Would I replace it if something better came along? In a heartbeat.


So far no one has posted anything in the way of improvements or complaints, thus why it was ported over.

Notice the Fax stuff is not ported over.... doubt that it will be for a very long time.

The words "production class" refers to the base install and not the additional scripts/programs.

Hope this helps.

typo .....install kde16 says it's in the ast12 directory - it is in the ast16...
 
Fixed. Thanks. Same problem with piafdev. Also should be ast16.
 
Using Nerd Vittles Scripts with 64-bit ISO

We have now tested several of the Nerd Vittles scripts with the 64-bit ISO. All of them work well with Flite. The 64-bit ISO breaks Cepstral with Asterisk so you're stuck with Egor at least for the moment. :rolleyes:
 
ON a V1.6 system, running install-piafdev16 has me ending up with a V1.4 asterisk system - is that intentional

I have update the install-piafdev16.x.tar.gz program with the correct build information. You will also need to download the following config file and place it in /usr/local/sbin

wget http://pbxinaflash.org/ast16/files/source16.conf

then redownload install-piafdev16 and rerun it and you should be up to date.

Tom...

1. the posting above (start of this topic) points to the /ast15/ even though it says ast16, but that's OK I have changed that, and then I got the new source16.conf and placed it

and now I get

**********************************************************************

Ah I see why when I tested it this did not crater in the same way... I had both the 14 and the 16 versions in the usr/local/sbin :banghead: Did the same thing you experienced on a virgin vmware install.... Fixed and just uploading now. Should be all good as the dev16 completed on the virgin image of PIAF 1.2

Sigh I have too many machines right now.....


try again third times the charm

Tom, blame nitrogen narcosis - too many deep dives...

In a very previous life (70's) I lived in New Guinea and dived on wrecks etc, almost daily...

In a less previous life, I was product manager for a major computer company - the whole issue of modularity of software, and its interoperability across version etc, was something we battled with (and solved) (I had a 200 machine lab, with about a dozen different flavours of hardware, and we would "back and forward test" against, previous O/S versions and so on... )

When one looks at VOIP, and the ASterisk, vs, ASterisknow, vs elastix, vs trixbox, vs freepbx, vs pbxinaflash, compounded by versions galore, it certainly hasn't gotten any better...
 
Boy, this is not my day for getting this done...

install-piafdev16 Version 1.2.5 released on Date 050108
Running on 32 Bit CentOS
***********************************************************************
* I am sorry. One or more of the files did not download from *
* http://downloads.digium.com. This can be due to a new release of *
* source and the servers being busy or they forgot to set up the link *
* to the very latest source. You can try running this script again in *
* 24 hours and see if they have corrected the problem. *
* *
* Please tap the ENTER key to exit *
***********************************************************************
 
New version of zaptel released. Timestamp on their server lies 8^) You can edit the source16.conf and alter zaptel to the following

#ZAPTEL="zaptel-1.4-current"
ZAPTEL="zaptel-1.4.10.1"

See if this works although it also looks like they have changed the source path for zaptel again. Will look at it. Yes it is Zaptel for Asterisk 1.4 used in the Asterisk 1.6 beta program really.... Just dl it so you should be good to go.

If you look at the placeholder for the zaptel current you will see the file is only 36 byes long and should be 1.6m

Hopefully all of you will send an email to the webmaster or anyone else that will listen at digium... they just piss me off..... Expect everyone to use a particular methodology to update source from and everytime something new is posted they do't correct the current link.


grrrrrrrr :mad5:

Odd you should mention that..... I have spent some time in the deco chamber as an attendant in my former life... for a while I was getting more dives in the chamber than in real water....

New Guinea sounds like heaven.... I routinely do some technical diving and always have a ball..... I am looking at branching out into a rebreather next year.... gotta love those 4 hour run times...

Download to where _ am presuming your install script will run if it is found "somewhere..." locally.

doh :banghead:

Sorry was tired I meant to say

I had just tested the piafdev16 script and it downloaded zaptel fine using the altered source16 files which points at the actual zaptel file as opposed to the link to the file.

So

Alter the source16 file

rerun install-piafdev16.x and it will hopefully work this time. I sent a message off to Jared Smith of Digium last night requesting the link problem be fixed "yet again"

Tom
 
Looks like digium fixed the link on their site so the zaptel-1.4-current is working again.

Tom

(I am just uploading the revised load files to the secure server. It will take a while to propagate)
 
NOw I am dying with a

./install-piafdev16.x: line 1275: $LOGDORNAME: ambiguous redirect

I have tried this with both the original and the modified source16 file...


sigh...
