A random for me by Jacob Pettie during the Spring 2012 Semester.

To have a working guide to installing Freeswitch for a phone server setup.

Steps to installing and running Freeswitch:

1. USER@SERVER:# cd /usr/local/src/

2. USER@SERVER:/usr/local/src# sudo su

3. root@SERVER:/usr/local/src# apt-get update

4. root@SERVER:/usr/local/src# apt-get upgrade

5. root@SERVER:/usr/local/src# apt-get dist-upgrade

6. root@SERVER:/usr/local/src# apt-get install git-core build-essential autoconf automake libtool libncurses5 libncurses5-dev gawk libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev pkg-config libssl-dev

7. root@SERVER:/usr/local/src# update-alternatives --set awk /usr/bin/gawk

8. root@SERVER:/usr/local/src# git clone git://git.freeswitch.org/freeswitch.git

9. root@SERVER:/usr/local/src# cd freeswitch

10. root@SERVER:/usr/local/src/freeswitch# ./bootstrap.sh 2>&1 | tee build.log

11. root@SERVER:/usr/local/src/freeswitch# ./configure -C --enable-zrtp 2>&1 | tee -a build.log

12. root@SERVER:/usr/local/src/freeswitch# make 2>&1 | tee -a build.log

13. root@SERVER:/usr/local/src/freeswitch# make install 2>&1 | tee -a build.log

14. root@SERVER:/usr/local/src/freeswitch# make all install cd-sounds-install cd-moh-install

15. root@SERVER:/usr/local/src/freeswitch# ./freeswitch

• Test with:
  • Configure a SIP phone with the IP address of the Freeswitch computer with the user “1000” and password “1234”.
    • Dial 9664 to hear music
    • Dial 5000 to test the sample IVR
    • Configure a second SIP phone as user 1001, dial 1001 from 1000, and 1000 from 1001 to test between phones
