Installation


Installing from RPM or DEB

We made packages for several linux distributions. It is the easiest way to install FOP2.

If you downloaded an RPM package for redhat/centos/fedora/suse, you can install it with the following command:

#> rpm -ivh fop2-01-centos5-i386.rpm

If you downloaded the DEB package for your debian version, you can install it with the following command:

#>dpkg -i fop2-01-i386.deb

Be sure to download the correct package for your linux version. If your platform is not supported, please let us know, as we might be able to get a package for your plataform too.

Before starting the service, some basic configuration is required in fop2.cfg and probably in /etc/asterisk/manager.conf, because the FOP2 daemon connects via TCP to the Asterisk Manager Interface (AMI) using a username and secret. The basic daemon config is covered here.

Once FOP2 is installed and AMI credentials configured you can start the service. In RPM based systems you do it with the command:

#>/etc/rc.d/init.d/fop2 start

In Debian or Ubuntu the correct command is:

#>/etc/init.d/fop2 start

That's it!
