Installing MiRTA PBX

Installing MiRTA PBX is not a piece of cake and the automatic installer has been proven only on CentOS 6 64bit. Even with the automatic installer, a series of manual steps are required.

• Copy the installer script from pbx/protected/installMirtaPBX.sh to /usr/local/src in your new server
• Move to /usr/local/src
• Edit it and check the version, set to 6
• Check your hostname, change to something more useful if you have set to localhost
• Upgrade the Kernel by running

./installMirtaPBX.sh Kernel

• Reboot the server to be sure to have the latest kernel running
• Move again to /usr/local/src
• Install the system by running

./installMirtaPBX.sh

If there will be no errors, you'll have asterisk and voipmonitor compiled and installed.

Proceed in checking if SELinux is active and disable it

# getenforce
Enforcing
# setenforce 0
# getenforce
Permissive

Move in /var/www/html/pbx and start by configuring include/db.inc.php copying from include/db.inc.php.sample

# cd /var/www/html/pbx
# cp include/db.inc.php.sample include/db.inc.php

Edit the include/db.inc.php and fill in with the mtpbxname and mtpbxkey values provided

Upgrade the database to the basic version:

# php dodbupgrade.php

There will be some errors and notice, just ignore them. Now convert the database to UTF8.

# cd protected
# php convert_to_utf8.php

Now it is time to setup the timezone on php. Try running the checkupgrade.php utility

# cd /var/www/html/pbx
# php checkupgrade.php

If you see an error like:

PHP Warning:  strtotime(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected the timezone 'UTC' for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone. in /var/www/html/pbx/checkupgrade.php on line 19

It means you need to carefully select the timezone in php.ini
