[Freeswitch-users] Precompiled Windows Binaries

Wed Nov 4 09:49:42 PST 2009

Hi Carlos,

thanks a lot for the reply on the Windows stuff - and for doing the pre-compile ! It saves me from having to do that myself while I'm busy just trying to learn FreeSwitch - not an easy task in itself, well, not for me anyway !.

As much as a GUI would make working with FS easier, I think I'll keep away from FreePBX at the moment, I'm liable just to get myself more confused and break what I have working. I'll wait for a "Production Ready" version before I mess with this again I think.

Just one clarification then, am I right in thinking that, after I have installed a release version of FS, if I then install one of the SVNs over it, it will keep all configuration etc. in tact, i.e., I won't lose anything that I've changed in the conf files etc?

Regards
Dave

    Jeff,

    thanks a lot for the reply. I was a little confused by the fact that the
    "SVN Snapshot" was some 10MB smaller than the Full 1.0.4 file so worried
    that I might lose something. As you say though, think that I'll cross my
    fingers and try the updated release. I am running FreeSwitch on a test
    machine at the moment until the target hardware arrives - hopefully
    tomorrow, so I can afford to have a little play.

  I usually try to update the svn file at least once a month. I have a new version ready that was compiled last night but am ironing out login issues with the FS dudes for upload access. Also, the SVN snapshot now includes binaries for 32 and 64 bit. It no longer includes flite though as the install file was approaching 80MB in size. I will revisit this later if others feel it important to include flite. 

    You mentioned FreePBX V3. I had been fumbling around trying to work out what
    this is and from what I've read, it seems to provide a GUI Front End for
    configuring FreeSwitch ?

  Yes, it's still in development phase and as such not ready for production use.

    I am guessing that while it has been installed with FreeSwitch, I then need
    to run the FreePBX Installer to update the FreePBX/FreeSwitch configuration
    on my hardware ?

    When I start FreeSwitch, it does not automatically load the WAMPServer.

  Freeswitch and WAMPServer are independant of each other. WAMPServer is bundled in this install for the purpose of FreePBX as MySQL, Apache and PHP are all required components of FreePBX.

    When I start WAMPServer manually, and open up localhost (127.0.0.1) in a web
    browser, I can see the WampServer logo and various tools such as phpinfo()
    and phpmyadmin. FreePBX is there under Your Projects.

  If you want to configure FreePBX you need to click on the FreePBX.url shortcut that gets created on your desktop. 

    When I opened this up the first time, it appeared to want to install FreePBX
    over FreeSwitch, I tried to abort this when it was going to overwrite some
    FreeSwitch conf files and I thought I'd better not go on until I had a
    better idea what was happening. I backed out of the FreePBX install and now
    I can't get the FreePBX or phpmyadmin pages up again (missing files) so it
    looks like I'm going to have to reinstall anyway.

    So, for next time,am I right in thinking that I should proceed with running
    the FreePBX install from the WAMPServer menu ?

  No, launch it from the shortcut as stated above. Unfortunately, at this time there is very little user documentation on configuring FreePBX. Here is the link to the developer's info: http://www.freepbx.org/v3

  regards,

  Carlos
