Install Asterisk 1.6.2.4 with Asterisk Addons 1.6.2 and MySQL on CentOS 5.4 i386
This is a complete tutorial on how to install CentOS 5.4 and then Asterisk and MySQL on any computer. I will soon be posting a template virtual machine in the form of a torrent file
Note: you can install Putty and SSH into your CentOS box once it’s installed. You will then be able to copy and paste lines easily from the code boxes below.
- Download CentOS 5.4 i386 from http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/5/isos/i386/
- Install CentOS 5.4
- Boot from the CD or DVD.
- Type
linux text
- Press Enter.
- Move to skip using TAB key and press Enter. This step will prevent your computer to test the media. You can test it if you want but it’s quite long.
- Press Enter on the OK button.
- Choose the language and keyboard and press OK.
- Choose Yes and press OK.
- Choose “Remove all Linux partitions on this drive and create default layout” and press “OK”.
- Confirm by clicking on Yes.
- Don’t review the partitioning layout.
- Press Yes to configure your ethernet adapter.
- Enable IPv4 by going down to IPv4 using the arrow key and press spacebar to select it.
- Click OK.
- Click OK for both DHCP and DNS.
- Choose your time zone.
- Type a password you’ll remember.
- Press OK.
- Unselect GNOME (don’t select anything).
- Press OK.
- Press OK for the log.
- Wait for the package installation.
- Eject the media and press Reboot.
- Post-installation steps
- Select “Firewall Configuration” and then press “Run tool”.
- Disable the security level and select Disabled for SELinux. (Note that it’s only suitable for a hobby system)
- Press OK.
- Press Exit.
- Login using user “root” and the password you chose during the installation
- Install Webmin
-
cd /root wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/webadmin/webmin/1.500/webmin-1.500-1.noarch.rpm?use_mirror=iweb rpm -i webmin-1.500-1.noarch.rpm
-

You may have a personal cellphone. If you are lucky, you don’t call much daytime, don’t use text messaging, don’t use Internet, and call most of the time after 9PM. If you’re like me, and you want to be able to call anytime, text whenever you need it, and browse the Internet, read your emails, receive calendar notifications, get ready to pay for those services. In Canada, smaller plans include 50 minutes daytime per month, 1 000 minutes for nights and weekends (from 9PM) and cost about 20,00 $, taxes included. When you want the long-distance, text, Internet, minutes anytime thing, you will pay 50,00 $ to 100,00 $. Let me show you how Wi-Fi phones can cut your personal or business mobile bill in two. If you’re a business owner, you’ll find useful hints on how to take the Wi-Fi opportunity.
