Good day I am new to AllStarLink and the plan was to hook it on our local VHF frequencies. After doing some reading I found ALLStarLink and decided to have a go mainly because of its great features.Well I have just spent the past 4 days trying to install. At first I went on the Wiki page and read the FAQ's and the How to's. I then grabbed the latest AllStarLink installer for x86/AMD and installed on a new hard drive of my laptop. I had my first issue where the hard disk would not boot because of some kernel issue. After consulting my best friend Google, a solution was found and the install could therefore begin. First issue - changing the root password. Although having changed it at start, it would not accept same after rebooting. So I went back to using "repeater". The first time installation process went well (node number, node password,etc). I followed the procedure to open Port 4569 on the router I could even see my callsign appearing on the Node List meaning that it was working. Second issue - Echolink - I did set all the parameters correctly and my callsign appeared on Echolink. I tried testing the connectivity with my Android phone and I ended up with Timeout. The Ports 5198 and 5199 are open on the router. Reverting back to SVXLink, it was working fine. Third Issue - I tried to install AllMon using the Add-On script and supposedly the config files were copied etc.. When I tried to edit the AllMon config, I had a file not found. I went back to each and every installation steps all over again and all was fine. Searching the Wiki did not bring any solution to my problem. I have today installed AllStarLink on a PI 3. I watched and followed every steps from a video by K1GMM on Youtube. And it is still not working. I had the same issues above and NO solutions found. It is very frustrating after having spent a little more than 4 days in trying to make the software work. I do not know if I can get help on this forum before finally deciding to give up. I am not an expert in Debian or Asterisk and I guess that's may be where the problem lies. 73's Rachid 3B8FP
