The first step that you should make is to you to choose which version of Asterisk you want to install.
* Asterisk 1.2 - the stable version * Asterisk 1.4 - the version that is currently in beta testing
When you know which version you want to install download the according packages.
Note that we will install also libpri and zaptel packages. They are optional for Asterisk but if you want to use Asterisk with MeetMe (see MeetMe application and meetme.conf) or to use MusicOnHold you'll have to install zaptel. The TDMoE cards will also need the zaptel module in order to work correctly. If you will use PRI cards you'll have to install libpri module.
Now check the exact version of your kernel. You can achieve this by typing `uname -a`. The output should be something like this: `Linux luser 2.6.17-1.2142_EL #1 Tue Jul 11 22:41:14 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux`. Check if you are using 2.6 or 2.4 kernel. Notice that. We'll need this info later. You should check if you have installed the kernel sources (for the current version of the kernel) on your machine. To achieve this type `rpm -q kernel-devel` The output of the screen should be something like this:
Note that if you don't have kernel sources you should install them. You can use yum again: `yum install kernel-devel`. If you use this command yum will install the sources for your current version of the kernel.
It is time to check for the availability of some other packages:
If yum is unable to find one or more of these packages, try your luck with PBone. You should find the required packages there. When you download them, install them with either of those:
rpm -i PACKAGE.rpm
rpm -Uvh PACKAGE.rpm
CentOS doesn't install the kernel sources into the /usr/src/linux directory as is written in Zaptel's and Asterisk's Makefile. Go to `/usr/src` and create a link named 'linux' to your kernel sources directory (the default place for your kernel's sources is /usr/src/kernels/...). The result should look like this:
Now extract the downloaded sources by the command `tar -vxzf PACKAGE.tar.gz`, where PACKAGE.tar.gz are the packages that we downloaded (libpri, zaptel and asterisk itself).
Installing Libpri:
cd /path/to/source/libpri
make
make install
Installing Zaptel:
cd /usr/src/asterisk/zaptel
# if you have a 2.4 kernel you should type just make
make
# if you have a 2.6 kernel you should type make linux26
make linux26 - if you have a 2.6 kernel
make install
Installing Asterisk:
cd /usr/src/asterisk/asterisk
# before making Asterisk you have to install mpg123 package (to be able to play mp3 files for music on hold).
make mpg123
# for Asterisk v1.4 you should start configure script
./configure
make
make install
make samples
In order to verify the asterisk installation start your asterisk daemon by typing `safe_asterisk` and connect to its console by typing `asterisk -vvvvvr`. Now reload the entire configuration by typing `reload`.

Its as should you had a wonderful grasp on the subject matter, but you forgot to incorporate your readers. Maybe you must think about this from far a lot more than 1 angle. Or perhaps you shouldnt generalise so considerably. Its greater in case you think about what other people might need to say rather of just going for a gut reaction towards the topic. Think about adjusting your own believed procedure and giving other people who may possibly read this the benefit of the doubt. http://eiievpu.com [url=http://irqtultjuku.com]irqtultjuku[/url] [link=http://luvuslu.com]luvuslu[/link]
Mujahid (kyvxk52v at gmail dot com) 19 December 2015 15:16:31 I acquired more new <a href="http://ccszgvztoo.com">thgnis</a> on this fat loss issue. One issue is a good nutrition is especially vital while dieting. A massive reduction in junk food, sugary food, fried foods, sweet foods, beef, and white-colored flour products could possibly be necessary. Holding wastes parasitic organisms, and wastes may prevent targets for losing fat. While specific drugs quickly solve the issue, the horrible side effects are usually not worth it, and so they never offer more than a short-term solution. This is a known fact that 95% of celebrity diets fail. Thanks for sharing your ideas on this web site.

eijal (systemworksmsn at hotmail dot com) 21 March 2007 01:08:40 I THINK IN THE REQUIREMENTS, IT'S SOMETHING MISSING. BECAUSE I INSTALLED CENTOS 4.4 WITH MINIMAL INSTALLATION, AND THEN I INSTALLED WITH YUM ALL THE REQUERIMENTS THAT YOU SAY.
EVERY GOES WELL, BUT WHEN I TRY TO USE THE X100P CARD THERE ARE ISSUES, THIS IS THE ERROR:
# modprobe zaptel
FATAL: Module zaptel not found.
AND I CAN'T SOLVE IT. BUT WHEN I INSTALL ALL DEVELOPMENT TOOLS FOR CENTOS THERE IS NOT ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE modprobe zaptel
Izzy (idatoo at yahoo dot com) 21 February 2007 18:29:15 The author doesn't mention how to get menuselect working and how to use it.
This is where I am stuck, as I try to run menuselect and receive the following msg:
Unable to open 'menuselect-tree' for reading!
Error parsing 'menuselect-tree'!
John (jwhelan at proxito dot com) 16 February 2007 16:51:34 It looks as though with zaptel 1.2.13 you can no longer build with target linux26.
I tried and got
[john@bender zaptel-1.2.13]# make linux26
make: *** No rule to make target `linux26'. Stop.
A Make && Make install ran just fine, and I could load ztdummy with modprobe afterwards.
The readme.linux26 file is still present, and still instructs to do "make linux26", though.

Mats (mats dot o dot karlsson at gmail dot com) 07 January 2007 11:43:44 I like to add both zaptel and asterisk to the standard init procedure in CentOS/RHEL.
To do this add:
make config
then you can start, stop and restart with the service command, ex.:
service asterisk start
and also do a :
chkconfig --add asterisk
chkconfig --level 345 asterisk on
and the same for zaptel.
This will start zaptel and asterisk in the boot procedure.

Chris (chris at empirecom dot on dot ca) 07 December 2006 16:16:53 Hi,
I have always been under the impression that as of Asterisk 1.2.X, when the asterisk-addons package is installed there is no need for mpg123 anymore. This was just for asterisk 1.0. I have not been installing it for quite some time and have been using mp3 files for MOH.
Thanks,
Chris

Lacho (support at asteriskguru dot com) 05 December 2006 18:43:23 Hi Tracy,
In version 1.4 the compilation process is a little bit different. There are no make mpg123 option. You could use the native format_mp3 which is coming with the asterisk-addons package.
Regards
Lacho
Tracy (tracyphillips at yahoo dot com) 05 December 2006 17:38:52 I am trying to get asterisk 1.4 working and in the tutorial, it says to 'make mpg124' for Music On Hold.
I cd to the asterisk directory and this is what I get:
[root@localhost asterisk-1.4.0-beta3]# make mpg123
make: *** No rule to make target `mpg123'. Stop.
