Tutorial

Following this tutorial on how to get Chan_Mobile working with Asterisk for Bluetooth support for our headsets and mobile phones we worked out how to get it working on Asterisk 1.6. We figured we would share this information with our readers incase they were interested in Bluetooth for Asterisk and the capabilities it will open up to their system. Just think, the server will know when you’re in the room or out of the office and other fancy things....

You may have heard of Habari, you may not have. It’s yet another blogging software, written from the ground up to take advantage of all the latest technologies available. For this reason it’s not supported everywhere and probably is why you haven’t heard of it yet. I think this software could replace WordPress if done correctly, it will just take some time to get a little more robust, but the guts of it is definately there....

Here’s an update to our popular article Asterisk 1.4 with SNMP and Cacti using a remote box. This howto will be a little different in that it will be using Asterisk 1.6, the latest in the pipeline for Opensource PBX solutions from Digium. This process should be a little easier than it was last time, however will sacrifice a little bit of the “cool factor” (ie: security, etc) because it will be running local to Asterisk....

Most of the howto’s or tutorials we came across about this problem all mention to install suphp and run php as a cgi through it. We weren’t happy with this solution, so we did something different. Basically the problem is: Plesk runs apache as “www-data:www-data” while the users are “username:psacln”. So, uploading via sftp or ftp will work fine, but when you go to install something from the control panel in Joomla, it will be installed as www-data:www-data....
