Installing CentOS for Asterisk this is Based on CentOS 4.1 for i386

Required packages

  • Minimal install
  • kernel-devel / kernel-smp-devel
  • bison
  • openssl-devel

or mysql support

  • mysql
  • mysq-server
  • mysql-devel

Installation process

Select minimal from the Package Group selector option (on Centos 4.1 this required just disk1 for my hardware - HP DL360 - G4)
When the installation completes, install the YUM GPG Key

Now simply install the required packages using yum

  • yum -y install kernel-devel bison openssl-devel

or to include mysql:

  • yum -y install kernel-devel bison openssl-devel mysql mysql-server mysql-devel

If you run an SMP kernel, you need kernel-smp-devel instead of kernel-devel above.

Now go make yourself a cup of tea/coffee as this will take a while, depending on your connection speed (it will download and install all dependencies and packages required)

Then:

  • yum -y update

Another cup of coffee, and a reboot to ensure that you compile against the correct kernel.

Once installed, standard asterisk installation procedure applies.

Installing Asterisk on to CentOS 4.x

Quick and Easy Install Guide, continuing from above section.

*** If you are running an SMP kernel, then instead of “kernel-devel” use “kernel-smp-devel”***
*** MySQL is optional, MenuSelect requires ‘ncurses-devel’ if you want to set extra options. ***

Install prereqs:

yum -y update
yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ libtermcap-devel kernel-devel bison openssl-devel mysql mysql-server mysql-devel

#installing/upgrading asterisk
#clean modules - just in case this is an upgrade.
rm -f /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/*

Go fetch latest asterisk sources.

/usr/src
rm asterisk
wget http://ftp.digium.com/pub/asterisk/asterisk-1.4.4.tar.gz
tar -zxvf asterisk-1.4.4.tar.gz
ln -s asterisk-1.4.4 asterisk

Should be run before building asterisk:

cd /usr/src/zaptel
./configure
# make menuselect
