OK
The GOAL: having a node without a radio on a server to use as a gateway of conference for a few repeaters around the Montreal region. I found a nice site where I can rent a small vps for 5$ a month. nothing fancy. I want to have that computer tu be my conference.. None of the site I have are either stable enough to host a nice conference or where I could have computer in a not arsh place, the bandwith is the issue.
So I can load a lot of different distro, BUT they are fixe image to start with. Cnt ask to load the acid iso.. (this would of course fix every thing.)
So the goal is not for fun I do need to make this work.
Will work from there, will find some answer online for most of the stuff I need, But when it is directly related to app_rpt, here is my only source..
Now I know what version of asterisk to use, where to find it, same for dahdi and app_rpt.. will try to ork on that. will find that I need some library of other stuff enroute and other software.. but I will try..
Not such a noob in linux.. but not a pro.. thanks for you patience..

First of all remind me - what is your end goal here. Are you doing this just for fun or is it for a real need and if so what is the need?
The easiest thing to do might be to just download the BBB image at hamvoip.org. Write it to an SD card, mount it on Linux - ubuntu or whatever works. The root partition not the boot partition. Copy from everything from the mount point /usr/src/utils to /usr/src on your linux box. Also copy /etc/asterisk from the mount point to /etc/asterisk for all the config files.
The source tree would then be in /usr/src/utils/asterisk - dahdi would also be there along with the patches in /usr/src/utils
You can compile and intall both dahdi and asterisk from there. Then following the directions on the BBB page and howto on setting up your node.
Another possible choice would be to just bring up a standard centos installation on a PC and copy what you need from there. All the source and files you would need would be there like the scripts in /usr/local/sbin. You would need to make some changes however.
As Dave pointed out earlier you are in for some real bumps along the way. There will be packages you will need to download and things you will need to configure. It is not a 123 type of thing. Without some Linux experience it could be daunting.
Just remember if you are using dahdi you need to remove any mention of zaptel and use the chan_dahdi.conf as shown in the BBB config.

OK Doug you got me fired up..
just one thing to know what source of asterisk are you using exactly?
Got Dahdi got the patch.. will fix what's needed to be fixed about ntpd and all. But what damn source of asterisk are you using? ;-)

Pete,
I have done this so many times but unfortunately I never documented it. Here is a simple description.
Get a distro and configure it like you normally would. Get ntpd running, network setup, etc.
Download the acid code and the latest dahdi -
I see it is 2.10.0 The last I used was 2.9.x but I suspect it will work the same. If not you could get the 2.9 version.
http://www.asterisk.org/downloads/dahdi
Apply the patch - info on how to do that is in the readme
https://allstarlink.org/fixed-dahdi-patches.tar.gz
Compile and install dahdi.
Then compile and install asterisk
Don't run any offsite updates. Configure it manually - not hard to do - and run. If you already have a configured system you can use those files from /etc.asterisk. BTW the BBB setup procedure and howto's at http://hamvoip.org describe how to do that very easily which would also apply here. The only caveat is the config files would be different to start with so some consideration has to be given to that.
All that sounds easy but you undoubtedly will have some hiccups and things you will have to do to get it to work. It is impossible to document that as it would be different on the multitude of distros and kernel versions.
I have compiled it on the latest Debian and Ubuntu. The real problem is OSS support which is required. Debian has it, Ubuntu does not. You have to recompile the kernel and add it back in. For that reason Ubuntu is not recommended as kernel versions can change with frequent updates.
I guess the big question is do you really need to do this. I forget why you said you can't run a local system. In that case you could just install an acid release on a PC or maybe go with the BBB.

I am not sure what you
are saying when you comment....
"well I think that Dahdi wont
compile correctly on Any distro that have a kernel pass a certain
point.."
Did you mean "will" ?? The
patches can be applied against the latest dahdi and it will compile on late
kernels. The BBB is an example of that.

So I have lots of choice
But I was under the feeling that the best distro was centos 5 for acid..
(using the install script from the cd..
Unless you can point me in another direction..

Pete,
I have been
somewhat following this. Does it have to be centos? Allstar will run on the
latest Debian. You need to install it yourself but depending on your Linux
capability it is not a big deal.

Thanks Bob. I dont think that it has to do with something
impossible to do.. In fact I have been searching the archives about problem like
that.. And there was some answer about some patch to dahdi zaptel.. or such.. I
am at work, dont remember..
If it would be installed at least up to a point. I would be able to do it..
I just dont know how to tell the compiler not to compile that part and go
on..

Couple of thoughts. I've not been able to load using ssh. Last time I
attempted this zaptel did not load properly, but it seems I didn't get an error
until after the reboot. It seems to me (check the ACID scripts), that ACID
disables ssh during the load. When I have loaded CentOS 5.10 (as previously
mentioned), I then used some of the ACID scripts to load asterisk, etc, I always
had to us a monitor and keyboard on the server to be fully successful. But
hey... that could just be my fumbling around.
As for your stated concern. I could be because no one knows the answer.
Hard to believe, I know, but it seems to happen occasionally on this list
:~}
Thanks,
Bob

OK,
did I asked a question that CAN’T be answered? Or did I asked the wrong way?
If
I did I am sorry.. And I gave my apology to every one I could have offended..
But
is it possible to at least have a small word from all those guru here if it
can be done, and which way should I go? dont need to have someone holding my
hand.. Just need to have a small Idea what to do..
Like
just point me the pathway.. I will try to do it on my own..
Thanks

I cant use the acid.iso cause the computer is in a remote place (
rented server) and they dont supply special OS installation. I can have
fedore ubuntu centos on many flavor (x86 or 64 bit) and many revision... The
problem is not the loading od the cd are other things like that..
I am sure that the kernel is too new and there is a part of zaptel that
need a depricated fonction If I am not crazy..

I use this when ACID will not load, usually due to issues with BIO S
and network drivers. I was assuming you were not able to get ACID to load on
you computer. If your running phase2.sh was a second attempt after trying to
load ACID, you may need to check that all the files are there because the
load deletes some files. In short, if this occurred during an attempt to
load the ACID download, I'd just try it again.
Thanks,
Bob

I’ve done this
several times without issue. Here are the steps I used.
Load CentOS 5.10
downloaded from CentOS website
No features, tools
only, no desktop (competes with Asterisk)
Set ssh
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
Run "setup" at comand
line and disable firewall
vi
/etc/rc.d/acidrepo
http://dl.allstarlink.org
Execute portion of
ks.cfg, each line at a time
cp /etc/rc.d/rc.local
/etc/rc.d/rc.local.orig
cat <<EOF
>>/etc/rc.d/rc.local
cd /etc/rc.d; rm -f
phase1.sh; wget -q http://dl.allstarlink.org/installcd/phase1.sh
chmod 755
/etc/rc.d/phase1.sh
/etc/rc.d/phase1.sh
Auto reboot after
phase1.sh executed
phase2.sh runs
automatically to completion
