Hi All, The past day or so I've setup a new * server based upon the Xorcom Rapid ISO. It did as promised; wiped the base system, installed Debian OS, installed Asterisk with a dummy configuration. So far so good. If I could get the config from my existing * server migrated to the Xorcom box the I'd be ready to roll. Essentially, it would be the same as I have now on Fedora Core 1, but with a text mode management shell and reboots into everything fully working without an user intervention. I could put a 1 Gb CF card in a CF to IDE adapter and have an HD free server, or just use a small HD instead. However, I can't seem to get my current * configs to load to the Xorcom box. I tried to sftp from my Windows desktop but my Windows ssh/sftp client (www.privateshell.com) would not connect to the Xorcom box. I confirmed that sshd was installed and running by trying Putty, as described in the Xorcom faq. With Putty and its sftp counterpart I could one-by-one upload the conf files from my existing server to the Xorcom box, but it killed the * install on the Xorcom box. Anybody have any experience turning the Xorcom Rapid installation into a production installation for a small office? It would seem that I only need to setup the configs appropriately, but something is going dramatically wrong and I can't see it at the moment.

When I tried to use Rapid CD I was able to get it loaded but never was able to get get my internet working either by dcph or by assigning the ip address. I havve tried two other flavors of Linux and both connected to the internet.

Jeff, You need to install using the linux 'expert' command at the beginning of the installation Basically I had the same problem. Some nic cards are not recognized by xorcom and therefore don't request dhcp etc. Michael, I was never able to upload my old configs onto Xorcom, I hope you have better success but I don't think it works this way and I gave up.

Have you looked at AstLinux?: http://www.krisk.org/astlinux/ Yep, it's my baby... -- Kristian Kielhofner

Not yet. I've decided to try Any Powel's Asterisk-Live-CF instead. See http://www.automated.it/asterisk-Live-cf.htm for details. His install boots from CF then runs from ramdisk such that the lifespan of CF in read/write cycles is not a huge issue. I'll put the server on a UPS and have the VM emailed off to users as a rule. I may also have the VM written to another server via NFS. I haven't been able to put time into this recently. I hope to get on with it next week.
