similar to: Summary of "Trixbox vs. custom install"

Hello, I'm following the thread "Asterisk@Now vs Trixbox", and I have a similar question: if someone is going to install Asterisk, FreePBX and A2Billing, should you advice him/her to use Trixbox ... or a custom "step by step" installation on a distribution of his/her choice? Thanks Stefano

Hi All; Based on what I have to use Trixbox or FreePBX? Can someone advise? Regards Bilal

I love the added apps installed with trixbox, ARI, Web-Meetme, FOP, and Reports are great. FreePBX on the other hand, is nearly impossible to do everything with. Trying to edit the configs manually proves impossible due to the excessive use of includes and macros. It is kind of like watching someone try to bite their own ear off. Has anybody tried to wipe all the configs clean and program the

I just read on Slashdot (at http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/12/16/222243 ) that Trixbox "has been phoning home with statistics about their installations", as a Trixbox user exposed in "Trixbox Phones Home" at http://www.trixbox.org/forums/trixbox-forums/open-discussion/trixbox-phones-home . -- (C) Matthew Rubenstein

So, people have recommended building a system from scratch, start with a CentOS base and installing asterisk and all of the other utilities. I've only used Trixbox for my business system. I'm wondering what surprises I'd run into. Right now, I know I'd need the OS, Asterisk, something like FreePBX, I have a x100p card so I'd need Zaptel, does that come with asterisk?

Hello all, To test some configs i forgot the trixbox web config (freepbx) and i made changes directly in asterisk config files (sip.conf, extensions.conf, etc). Result: asterisk is working ok but the the web config is totaly confused and, if i made a change via freepbx this not works ok. Only now i know that this changes will be made in "file_custom.conf"... problem of newbie... :). I

Hi folks, I've been a trixbox user for a few years now but I'm thinking about jumping ship. Trixbox is great, but it's missing two features out of the box which are really important to me: outbound faxing (hylafax) and imap voicemail. I see no indication that they will be included anytime in the near future, so I have a choice to make - I've looked around at Elastix,

Hello, >From some days ago, when i made changes in web interface to asterisk that comes with trixbox (freepbx), this dont reflect the changes in asterisk configuration. I has reviewed the file permissions in /etc/asterisk and all files are writable to asterisk user. In freepbx all appears to be ok (i dont see any errors...). Anyone can help me with this problem? Thanks in advance, PS.

Hi guys, Has anyone had any luck with getting the Cisco IP Communicator working with your Asterisk or primarily, Trixbox installation? I've tried searching the net for information, and found someone said to set it up like the 7970 hard phone, which I have, and I'm just running into the problems with it saying "Error Verifying Config Info". Any and all help is appreciated.

Hi all, I am trying to install Vicidial in an existent FreePBX installation (I'm using Xorcom packages for Debian Etch), but I didn't find any documentation, I found only this guide [0], but is for trixbox only, do you think it will work on FreePBX on Etch?

Hello, Can anyone recommend the 'best' kernel and zaptel versions to use with asterisk? we're currently running trixbox and are having numerous call quality issues(disconnects, echo, garbled speech) and I'm considering wiping the asterisk box and installing a virgin copy of centos, compiling asterisk myself and installing freepbx on it's own.. Is there anyone who can

Greetings list... I have a Trixbox based Asterisk system and would like to implement a loose call accounting system. The system is built on Trixbox version 2.2.8 with Asterisk 1.2.24 and FreePBX 2.3.1. Because there are a couple thousand existing account codes for various projects, and new account codes are created by the accounting dept. I cannot create pin sets using the add on module included

I love TrixBox, with the custom config files you can tweak pretty much with TrixBox too, I have at least done some. Plan to do a plain Asterisk install later, but for now I learn a lot about the config files just with TrixBox. Some things might be a bit harder with TrixBox due to some of the premade dial plans, but can get it to work :-) _____ Fra: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com

All my experience on asterisk was gained through configuring Trixbox, so a ready to go Asterisk system. Now i?m trying to install a server from scratch, so this question arose. When installing freepbx, the .conf files are written, when installing asterisk nothing is written unless I run the Make Samples. 1. Basic features like parking calls, transfering calls, contexts, and so on have to

Hi I've bought the Digium g729 codec and have installed it correctly (I think) >> voip*CLI> show g729 >> 0/0 encoders/decoders of 3 licensed channels are currently in use if I do an echo test either from a sip Cisco 7960 or another hard phone (unbranded) using g729 it sometimes works and sometimes the announcement about the test (echo-test.gsm) fails part way though but the

Hello everyone, We just installed a new Trixbox 2.0 server and updated FreePBX to 2.2.0 from 2.2.0rc3. We are having some problems with regards to Music on Hold on IP phones. When we press the "Hold" button, the caller doesn't hear the MOH sound. This functionality used to work with the older Asterisk@Home installation on the same hardware and configuration. However, we don't

I'm fairly new to FreePBX/Asterisk/Trixbox, but have Googled myself into submission here, so any assistance is appreciated. We had a user with a weak SIP secret recently that allowed it to be used by an outside user. The extension was 3799. I could see the intruder's calls (including the destination phone numbers) in the trixbox call report log. Because the extension was no longer used, I
