1st time installing asterisk

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

I am trying to install asterisk on a cent os 5.4 machine

following the Asterisk:the future of telephone 2nd edition book

I tried

[quote]# wget downloads.digium.com/pub/asteris … ent.tar.gz

wget downloads.digium.com/pub/libpri/ … ent.tar.gz

wget downloads.digium.com/pub/zaptel/ … ent.tar.gz[/quote]

which gave the following errors

[quote]# wget downloads.digium.com/pub/asteris … ent.tar.gz

I tried following the instructions on asterisk.org/downloads/yum

but got these errors

I downloaded the latest tar files and copied them to my server

but got the following error during this step

make clean

./configure

make menuselect

make install

[quote]
make: *** [makeopts] Error 1
[root@linserver asterisk-1.6.2.7]# **** The configure script must be executed before running ‘make’.
-bash: agi: command not found[/quote]

What am I doing wrong?

I’m a bit confused (figure of speech, I’m actually “a lot” confused :stuck_out_tongue: ) as to what step of the process you’re actually on right now.

You started by trying to wget the tars for Asterisk 1.4. The “latest” version is 1.6, which it seems you acquired later somehow.

How? FTP client or something?

Try “downloads.asterisk.org” instead of “downloads.digium.com.” The book is a bit outdated.

[quote]but got the following error during this step

[code]

make clean

./configure

make menuselect

make install[/code]

Did the configure step actually execute?

Yes I replaced it with the latest version number

Now that I have eliminated the wget by downloading the tar and ftp’ing the files to my server I am stuck at compiling where I get these errors

[root@linserver asterisk-1.6.2.7]# **** The configure script must be executed before running ‘make’.
-bash: agi: command not found

[quote=“mket”]

I copied the tar using an ftp client to my server

I tried downloads.asterisk.org as well

Just to make it easier to understand

Here is what I tried

  1. wget downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telep … ent.tar.gz

which gave me

[quote]
[root@linserver asterisk]# wget downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telep … ent.tar.gz

  1. then I tried installing asterisk by following instructions on asterisk.org/downloads/yum
    i.e. adding repositories

which gave me following

  1. then I downloaded tar and copied them to my server

cd /usr/src/asterisk/libpri-1.4.10.2

make clean

make

make install

the above worked fine

When I ran

cd /usr/src/asterisk/dahdi-linux-complete-2.2.1-rc2+2.2.1-rc2/

make all

I got

I have downloaded the tar files to another pc and ftp’ed the files to the linux server

then I untared all these files and followed this step you mentioned

This is the error I get

It seems like you’re having some kind of network issue. What happens when you try to ping downloads.asterisk.org?

ping worked fine

I would assume that he has a firewall that either doesn’t allow web access, or only allows it through a proxy.

wget can be configured to work through a proxy, although I don’t think it supports Microsoft Authentication.

10

No I do not have any firewall or proxy

the server is connected to the internet directly via a adsl2 router

11

Are you using a consumer ISP? Maybe they are firewalling port 80 to force you to use their proxy.

12

No I used to run a webserver on this machine and that ran fine

13

Something that looks odd to me…

The wget you did with downloads.digium.com shows IP address of 32.1.4.112 which reports to be for AT&T in FL. Attempting to connect to the site via web browser at 32.1.4.112 fails.

When you did the ping of downloads.digium.com it shows the ip address of 76.164.171.233 which is for API Digital the ones donating the bandwidth for that site. Attempting to connect to the site via web browser at 76.164.171.233 is successful.

When I did a wget for the file it worked and used the 76.164.171.232 ip address. My multiple attempts to resolve the hostname downloads.digium.com always return the 76.164.171.23X ip addresses.
