How to – Install Asterisk 16 on Vicidial

In this article, I will demonstrate Install Asterisk 16 on Vicidial aka vicibox 9. In theory it should also work for you CentOS lovers (bleh) too, but just change the zypper commands to yum.

Step 1 – Remove Asterisk 13 & install dependencies

zypper remove asterisk
zypper in libedit* gcc gcc-c++- bzip2 make libjansson-devel dahdi-linux-devel libxml2-tools libxml2-2 libxml2-devel libuuid-devel sqlite3-devel

modprobe dahdi
modprobe dahdi_dummy

Step 2 – Download & install Asterisk 16.17.0-vici

We can find this on the Vicidial website: http://download.vicidial.com/beta-apps/asterisk-16.17.0-vici.tar.gz

Copy the code below and paste it into your Linux CLI:

cd /usr/src/
wget http://download.vicidial.com/beta-apps/asterisk-16.17.0-vici.tar.gz
tar -xzvf asterisk-16.17.0-vici.tar.gz
cd asterisk-16.17.0-vici
./configure --libdir=/usr/lib64 --with-pjproject-bundled --with-jansson-bundled
rm menuselect.makeopts
make menuselect*
**** Go down one to applications and hit enter, go down until you find the "meetme" app and press space bar, then hit "X" ****
make && make install && make samples && make config && make basic-pbx
/usr/share/astguiclient/start_asterisk_boot.pl
Install Asterisk 16 on Vicidial
Press Space bar to select [*] app_meetme and then press X

Step 3 – Run the perl install script in /usr/src/astguiclient.trunk

cd /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk
perl install.pl

****make sure to change the asterisk version to: 16.17.0-vici & copy sample files

Step 4 – cp all files that have .rmpsave in /etc/asterisk to its original version as shown below

cd /etc/asterisk
example: cp sip.conf.rpmsave sip.conf

do the rest too

Install Asterisk 16 on Vicidial

Step 5 – Rebuild server via Vicidial admin

Go to Admin > Servers > Click on the server and change the Asterisk Version

Install Asterisk 16 on Vicidial
Change Asterisk Version

And then change ‘Rebuild conf files’ to Y and hit submit

Install Asterisk 16 on Vicidial

Now you can make sure everything is running correctly by typing the following commands and match the results to the picture below.

modprobe dahdi
dahdi_cfg -v
screen -ls
asterisk -r

Thats all there is to it. If you have any errors or problems, please let me know in the comments below or stop by our live support channel on skype. I hope this helps.

In step 2, need include cd asterisk-16.17.0-vici/:

mkdir /usr/src/asterisk
wget http://download.vicidial.com/beta-apps/asterisk-16.17.0-vici.tar.gz
tar -xzvf asterisk-16.17.0-vici.tar.gz

cd asterisk-16.17.0-vici/

./configure –libdir=/usr/lib64 –with-pjproject-bundled -with-jansson-bundled
rm menuselect.makeopts
make menuselect*
**** Go down one to applications and hit enter, go down until you find the “meetme” app and press space bar, then hit “X” ****
make && make install && make sameples && make config && make basic-pbx
/usr/share/astguiclient/start_asterisk_boot.pl
