TUTORIAL Install Script for CentOS Host

[Sean Branam]

I looked on the forum for this answer, but was unable to find anything.

What I'm hoping to do is install pbx in a flash on a fresh CentOS install.
I can't use the iso, because the hosting site our organization uses only allows fresh installs of the OS , which they provide.

Any info would be of help.
TIA!

Once upon a time, there was a script that would install PIAF 1.7.x on a standard CentOS install, but PIAF 1.7.x is deprecated. Perhaps someone else can be of more help.

I don't Know How To Write Scripts But Here Are the Step To Get The Latest PIAF ISO on to a VPS.

[Sean Branam]

Brilliant! I'll give this a shot.

Looking at the file and following along each command, I can see what you did. I will certainly have to try this.
thanks!!!!

[trupsalms]

[trupsalms]

I will keep everyone updated.

For installing on existing CentOS 6.5, I wrote up a detailed tutorial today just before I found this thread. This is for the latest version of PIAF 2.6.5.0, published on Dec. 17, 2013.

Please browse to my tech blog article:
https://blog.ls20.com/install-pbx-in-a-flash-piaf-on-digitalocean/

I also wrote a comprehensive guide on securing your Asterisk with IPTables:

I hope they will be helpful! Feel free to comment.

Super cool.
Its quite ironic because that was going to be my next hosting company, I was going to try it on.
The first one failed miserably.

 

[Hyksos]

you should also retry this method on the first provider you tried.
the problem you had was probably not specific to the provider.

This worked great! I want to try and script this so we can just download the iso and run a script.

HWDSL2,

Found a small issue. bind-utils needs to be installed also, for traveling man to work properly. I would add that in the package list.

 

[wardmundy]

Might want to hold off a week or so. More surprises on the horizon.

 

[Sean Branam]

oh boy! thanks for the tip.
