asterisk users - May 2015 - How to make asterisk work with remote mysql database?

Hi,

I am trying to make asterisk 11.7 work on Ubuntu 12 (amd64). I would 
like asterisk to not use the inbuilt sqlite database. Instead, I want it 
use a remote mysql database. Is this possible ? If yes, is there any 
good HowTo on this ?

Running 'make install' installed my asterisk successfully, but no conf 
files were copied to /etc/asterisk. Nor was a service start script 
placed in /etc/init.d. Is there normal ? fixable?

One additional problem is that, after installation, the CLI has no odbc 
command. Why could this be ? I suspect that for asterisk to work with 
remote mysql database, odbc functionality needs to be fully workable.

Thanks for any help.

Installed from sources or from packages? If you install from sources you must
make sure that the
ODBC parts, dev stuff as well, must be installed. When you add something to your
system, you
also need to run ./configure again. Then try "make menuselect" to
check your configuration. If
you cannot select an item, there are usually hints on what the resource depends.

jg

To install start script: make config
To install samples (this will overwrite all files in /etc/asterisk!): make
samples

I usually do this when I need to compile and install Asterisk:

./configure && make menuselect && make && make install
&& make config &&
make samples
