[OpenSIPS-Users] Installing OpenSipS on CentOS

[Dovid Bender]

Nick,

There are a few issues off the bat that I can think of.
1) For me at least the init scripts didn't work too well. I think they were more created and create better for Debian
2) Running around trying to figure out what the package translates to in CentOS or RHEL will make you go mad. The issue is not so much if it is in the CentOS repo or not (which is an issue in its self) but more what Perl calls xmlrpc-3 what does CentOS cal it ?
3) The documentation over all is poor.

I was installing on a 32 bit systems and there were still issues. I did notice that there is: http://www.opensips.org/Resources/DocsTutRedhat5. which covers the basics but focus's on a specific design. It would be helpful if it were to be expanded and written out in detail (e.g. For all modules, issues that others using CentOS have faced etc.)

  I don't think a separate repo is really necessary, if the dependencies can't be found in the CentOS Base repo, then they were available on Dag (Which, amusingly is offline at the moment). Replicating the packages is just going to result in data going stale.

   

  Agreed though that it would be nice to see someone maintain OpenSIPS RPM's. We also faced some problems with the version of libconfuse we ran up, however I believe this was more so related to 32 vs 64 Bit issues.

  Hi all,

   

  I have installed OpenSipS with quite ease on Debian servers. I used the book "Building Telephony Systems with OpenSIPS 1.6" for help on installing it. There were clear instructions for how to set it up on Debian. When setting it up on CentOS it was a different story. There are a lot of issues with the packages needed for specific modules (which may be more of a CentOS issue), init scripts etc.

   

  I would like to get together with some other users that have installed OpenSipS on CentOS so we can put all of our knowledge together and maybe adding it to the wiki. I was also thinking of creating a repo for packages that are needed for both OpenSipS and for it's modules.

   

  What are your thoughts ?

   

  Thanks.

   

  Dovid
