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..

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. 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio From: petem001@hotmail.com To: doug@crompton.com CC: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: RE: [App_rpt-users] Centos 5 with kernel 2.6.32-042stab093.4 Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2014 22:19:19 -0400 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? ;-) From: doug@crompton.com To: petem001@hotmail.com CC: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: RE: [App_rpt-users] Centos 5 with kernel 2.6.32-042stab093.4 Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2014 13:15:14 -0400 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. 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio From: petem001@hotmail.com To: doug@crompton.com Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Centos 5 with kernel 2.6.32-042stab093.4 Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2014 12:08:04 -0400 well can you point me a few pointers on how to do so?

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.

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.
