Successful install of asterisk, dahdi, asterisk-addons, freepbx on sheevaplug

[kumarullal]

Hi all,
Has any one successfully implemented, asterisk, , dahdi, asterisk-addons, freepbx on sheevaplug using the external usb sata hard drive with Linux debian 2.6.30-2-kirkwood kernel?
If yes, does it work with asterisk 1.4 or 1.6?
I have tried compiling asterisk 1.4, and it does successfully compile, however, it is unable to start asterisk, because /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.clt, and  /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.pid files do not exists. The directory /var/run/asterisk is somehow empty.
also in the /etc/asterisk.conf file, the astrundir = /var/run , which I changed it to /'var/run/asterisk.
The way I compiled asterisk was, ./configure, make, make install and make samples. Is this correct OR
./configure, make install, make samples is correct.
If someone has used asterisk 1.6, then what version of asterisk-addons is to be used?
would dahdi 2.2 work?
Can someone help clarify these issues?
Ideally If someone can specify astep-by-step procedure to install, asterisk, dahdi and freepbx would be excellent.
Thanks in advance.

I got Asterisk and Asterisk-Gui running on the plugpc. I used apt-get to do most of this. I looked into getting freepbx onto the plug but I was missing kernel-headers and couldn't find them anywhere for the arm architecture.

Since the two choices looked like learn asterisk-gui (which is not nearly as nice as free-pbx) or mess around with compiling kernels, I went with the new gui, I think it will also require a lot less resources than free pbx.

Additionally I'm using ubuntu 9.04 installed on an SD card from the sheeva plug installer, not the install I got when it came as this seemed to have a few issues. installer is here:

http://plugcomputer.org/index.php/us/resources/downloads?func=select&id=5

Once this is installed, I only needed apt-get install asterisk to get that installed.

The gui was a bit of a pain since I couldn't get svn on the plug, so I used another machine with svn to download the latest gui from

http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk-gui/branches/2.0/

then followed instructions found on google.

last error I ran into was that the location ubuntu store the web pages and where asterisk is looking for them didn't match up, so I did the following:

cd /usr/share/asterisk/
rm -rf static-http/
ln -s /var/lib/asterisk/static-http/ /usr/share/asterisk/
chown –R asterisk:asterisk /var/lib/asterisk


If you're used to free-pbx, the asterisk-gui does things in quite a different way, I'll be using this for the plug only, freepbx is a lot better, so if you do get that working please let me know how you did it

Sure did

You can download our prebuilt image, flash to SD card and boot. Free in every sense of the word.

I am having problem with conference and I believe that this is due to ztdummy not being available. I tried to install using module-assitant and auto-install zaptel but it complains that ztdummy is not available. How do we get conference make it work on the plug. Please advise...
