SOLVED Payloads not available for installation for 3 days

[Michelle Dupuis]

I have been attempting a PIAF installation on a VM for a few days, and get as far as the PIAFDL menu (3.0.0). All of the payloads have been unavailable for a few days. I confirmed I have internet access and I can ping the pbxinaflash.com site from that machine, etc. (Does the payload access use a nonstandard port?)

Are the pbxinaflash payload/download servers down for maintenance? Or is there something else I can check.

I'm hoping to install PIAF-2.0.6.5.0-CentOS-6.5t on my VM.

I had no problem installing IncrediblePBX11-Asterisk-GUI on another VM...so it's not iptables/firewall related.

I would be happy to upload a working VSphere ESXi VM of PIAF if I can get this working. I'll bet there are lots of people curious about PIAF who give up on the installation process. I'm a pretty decent Linux admin and I have to say I've been struggling with this. Not a complaint...as a software developer I realize I'm sometimes not objective about the usability of my own programs....
I tried an older PIAF installer which complained about no DAHDI devices (correct since I'm installing in a VM) and would never run, and I tried the VM OVA file which will not work with ESXi because it is build with virtual IDE devices that don't work in ESXi. I even converted the OVA to OVF and modified unsupported keys, etc. I've spent a lot of time trying...

PIAF 2.0.6.5 is no longer supported. It was released in December, 2013.

Follow the tutorial here to install PIAF 3.

The developers had archived those old PIAF2 repos since a couple days ago, so they are no longer working:

As Ward mentioned you may want to try the PIAF3 install instead.
