Download ISO

The combined SME 8 / Asterisk 1.8.7.0-2 / SAIL 3.1.1-22 ISO is available for download at:

http://sailpbx.com/iso/SME8FA18V311-22.iso

This ISO has not had it's CentOS / SME updates done uptodate, but rather matched to the kernel version their kmod-dahdi and dahdi-linux drivers were compiled with.

Install from ISO

  • Install normally as outlined in the Wiki.
  • A normal whitebox generic i386 (32 bit) install is envisaged in this article.
  • Login to https://<HOST>/server-manager as admin with the password set during install and enable Remote Access / Secure Shell with restrictions as appropriate to enable the use of an SFTP client like FileZilla and SSH client like PuTTY (Windows) or Terminal (Linux).
  • The display prompt will show the contents of /etc/issue:
AsteriskNOW 2.0.0

The IP address of your AsteriskNOW system is XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

<HOST> login: _

Future versions of SAIL v3.1.1 should be changed to indicate SAIL instead of AsteriskNOW in the message above.

The installed Linux version will show something like: 

# uname -a
Linux <HOST> 2.6.18-308.13.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 21 17:10:06 EDT 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Asterisk Version will show: 

# asterisk -v

Update SME

yum update

As on 2013-02-10, the 149 package update downloads of 222 MB will include a new kernel: 

kernel-2.6.18-348.1.1.el5.i686.rpm

This will break the asterisk and dahdi installs. The latest Asterisk 1.8 and Digium 1.8 repos have matched packages for the latest Asterisk v1.8 and digium but the kmod-dahdi drivers are lagging at kernel version centos5.2.6.18_308.24.1.el5. Since the release of centOS v5.9, the centOS v5.8 repo is no longer symlinked to CentOS5 folder but CentOS 5.8 updates repo contains the kernel: 

http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/5.8/updates/i386/RPMS/kernel-2.6.18-308.24.1.el5.i686.rpm

All yum downloads are cached at:
