<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Hi everyone,<div><br></div><div>I'm a new freeswitch user, and I'm basically trying to use it as a SIP proxy / media proxy (RTP) for handling some SIP phones.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Basically, I'm trying to install freeswitch (latest) on a ubuntu-server 10.04 64-bit box, and get everything running smoothly. The requirements I'd like to meet are:</div>
<div><br></div><div>- Freeswitch can be controlled via normal ubuntu init scripts (eg: service freeswitch start|stop|restart).</div><div>- Freeswitch starts on system boot.</div><div>- Freeswitch binaries are accessible in the default user PATH variable (so that I can simply type 'fs_cli' from the command line).</div>
<div>- Freeswitch logs to the appropriate locations in /var/log/ (or wherever the suggested location is).</div><div><br></div><div>I've found the install guide (<a href="http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_Guide" target="_blank">http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_Guide</a>) really confusing so far.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Unless I'm crazy, the top of the install guide says to always install from the git repo (latest), which I also take to mean that one should not install from any OS packages, etc.</div><div><br></div>
<div>So what I've tried is:</div><div><br></div><div>1. Cloned the git repo.</div><div>2. Installed all OS dependency packages.</div><div>3. Built from the git repo using the following commands:</div><div><br></div><div>
./bootstrap.sh</div><div>./configure --enable-core-odbc-support</div><div>sudo make all install sounds-install moh-install</div><div><br></div><div>Up to this point, everything works great. Everything compiles, all files are located in /usr/local/freeswitch/ which seems good, and things look great.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Here are the problems I'm having at this point, which I'm not sure how to resolve:</div><div><br></div><div>1. The freeswitch binaries are not in the default user PATH. Basically, if I type 'fs_cli' or 'freeswitch' form the command line, I get a command not found error. This is because the default PATH on ubuntu (obviously) doesn't contain /usr/local/freeswitch/bin. Shouldn't the installer add that? Or am I missing something? What is the best way to get this working? I could just modify my user's .bashrc file to append /usr/local/freeswitch/bin to the PATH variable, but that seems like a hack.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2. There are no system init scripts for freeswitch. I can't start, stop, or restart the freeswitch daemon. This makes managing it a real pain. What's the best way to get this working?</div><div>
<br></div><div>I have a lot of prior experience with Asterisk, but very little with freeswitch. So I'm relatively competent working with these sorts of systems once I get the basics :)</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks so much for any help / advice, I'm really looking forward to seeing what the ideal way to get this running is.</div>
