PBIAF/incrediblePBX Purple on OpenVZ VPS's

[tallship]

Hello!

I'm a bit perplexed as to the route to take to install PBIAF/IncrediblePBX on OpenVZ VPS's.

In a nutshell, I have some VPS's and I've installed CentOS 5/32 on one and CentOS 5/64 on another.

I've followed a few of the threads here, and don't own any of the hardware, so I can't just install Proxmox and OpenVZ templates, but I do have CentOS up and running.

I would like to run Purple, the Asterisk 1.8.x variation, but would settle for just getting PBIAF up and running on these boxes in any incarnation at this point.

Where do I download the scripts or what I need to do this?

I've followed this thread for the IncrediblePBX but still would need the required PBIAF first, and don't have access to create OpenVZ templates or load an OS from ISOs: http://pbxinaflash.com/forum/showpost.php?p=57995&postcount=10

I've followed this too, but again, it appears to presume that one has access to the bare metal: http://pbxinaflash.com/wiki/index.php?title=PBX_in_a_Flash#OpenVZ_Downloads

I've got the install-piaf-on-existing-centos-v1.04.sh script, but is this what I'm looking for?

Here's what I've got so far. I ran the script on a CentOS 5/32 box. I've reached this point:

================================================================================
This next step will download the PiaF ISO and install
the dependencies that are included on the ISO but
but are not available in the CentOS repository.
================================================================================
If this is an OpenVZ (e.g. Proxmox install) then the
following steps will fail, and you will have to install the
following pachages manually from your copy of the ISO in the 
/pbx directory of the PIAF ISO.

================================================================================
The packages to upload and install are:-
flite flite-devel jack-audio-connection-kit nas piafdl piafxtras pulseaudio-libs webmin pfmon
================================================================================
NB. you can exit now, and install the above manually and save some bandwidth,
================================================================================
After reboot execute piafdl
Press CTRL C to exit or enter to continue

At this point, I went ahead (since I have no bandwidth issues) with the download and now I'm here:

Cannot open file: webmin*.rpm. Skipping.

Reboot the server, then type piafdl to continue the installation.
Press CTRL C to exit or enter to reboot

I've looked here: http://nerdvittles.dreamhosters.com/pbxinaflash/source/

And I can't find all of the following rpms listed above. i.e.,

flite flite-devel jack-audio-connection-kit nas piafdl piafxtras pulseaudio-libs webmin pfmon

For example, when I look for 'flite', I see:

Asterisk-Flite-1.6-0.1-beta2.tar.gz
flite-1.3-11.el5.x86_64.rpm
flite-1.3-9.fc9.x86_64.rpm
flite-1.3-9.i386.rpm
flite-devel-1.3-11.el5.x86_64.rpm
flite-devel-1.3-9.fc9.x86_64.rpm
flite-devel-1.3-9.i386.rpm
and
webmin-updt.tgz (No webmin rpm, just an update tgz)

But jack-audio-connection-kit, nas, piafdl, piafxtras, pulseaudio-libs, webmin, and pfmon aren't there.

I looked for the .iso file that was supposed to have been downloaded. but I don't see it on the server.

Since the server is a 32 bit server, it apparently downloaded the iso for that arch, but grabbed the pbxinaflash-17553.iso instead of the pbxinaflash-17555.iso, as I would have expected.

Is there a location where I can d/l the above rpms from in a nice tidy tarball, or even individually? And which particular versions do I need?

Thanks

I have the same issue

I love incomplete instruction such as go to /pbx and install
"flite flite-devel jack-audio-connection-kit nas piafdl piafxtras pulseaudio-libs webmin pfmon" and I come here and not a single responce - thumbs up on a failed job!

Considering this thread is almost a year old and refers to the deprecated version of PIAF what DO YOU EXPECT?

What do you mean not a single response? Perhaps no one knows how to fix this or perhaps people are busy at their real jobs and dont have time.

These forums run on people donating there time for FREE and that is all. Post a better question and be polite if you dont get an answer.

In essence the thread appears to reference installing PIAF on an existing copy of Centos. Sorry we dont support it and did not create the install script. I would suggest you contact the original author and speak your mind to him.


Good luck with your project
