Hi every body,
I had a chance 3 days to install vBilling manually, which was not so trivial and would like to share my experience with you.
Installation script is clearly written, any developer with some linux experience can follow it and do the required changes. In fact, I did not use the installation script because I have custom modules enabled. Also, I use the freeswitch xml tree, which is different that what the script do. Additionally, I have BlueBox installed and they should work together.
The installation script creates a custom freeswitch.xml file with the required modules. If these freeswitch modules were not previously installed, you have to install them manually. No need to reinstall freeswitch again using (make install)
enable them in the freeswitch source and compile using
make
modulename-install
Regarding the installation path:
I used Centos 6 Server
The software uses the /var/www/html/ folder as the base path. However, since i have bluebox installed, I tried to do the required changes in (freeswitch.xml) and install vBilling in /var/www/html/vBilling. However, after contacting Muhammed, he recommended to enabled mod-rewrite for the apache server. After checking out, I found that it was already enabled for centos using the .htaccess file. I could log to the front page but 404 error pops, if i enter the password leading to another path. I checked the login php function and corrected the path. At least i could see that after login click, it was trying to call a page from the correct subfolder. However, I would not recommend to install it in a subfolder because it will not work properly. May be this needs some additional investement. When i placed it in the root web server folder, and made the required
adjustments it worked fine.
During the installation, I had to create a database using the given script, however I changed the username and password in the mysql tag. It returned that i could not login to the frontpage, since the password in encrypted. I had then to install phpmyadmin to revert the changes and change the password from the frontpage.
It is now running fine. However, I still did not start playing with its reporting functions or any call log but it looks very promising.
If i install some script, I usually check for spying functions such as sending back precious information without a permission to the author. However, the software is really clean. I did not find any spying functions or backholes. I checked the PHP files as well.
Finally, i would like to thank Muhammed Bhatti for sharing this nice software with us.
kind regards,
Sherif

Sherif, have you installed manually? If so, you would have to enable mod_rewrite in your apache configuration.
Can you give more details how it does not work? I have the same situation.
I can reach the frontpage and when i give the username i get 404.
Is this the case you have?
Do you have Centos or Redhat ?
regards,
Sherif

looks promising, but the user login does not work.
Best of luck, Mr. Bhatti and Happy New Year 2012, though belated to
all freeswitchers!
