Hi buds,

I am sharing a script that I have worked for a couple of days for my work in order to keep things easy and automated for me as I normally have to install some A2Billing boxes and it’s a quite long and tedius process. For more info here is the README:

README

This script allows you to install A2Billing on a clean install of CentOS 5 (Either i386 or x86_64) just ‘Base’ is required to install it.

Among other things the script does:

- Install & Configure of LAMP (Requesting MySQL root & a2billing password)
- Install A2Billing
- Configure it for production state
- Compile from sources the Sangoma Wanpipe drivers if desired
- Disable SELinux & Firewall
- Disable unused default services in CentOS 5
- Install Asterisk from Digium repositories
- Configure cronjobs, logs, etc

HOW TO INSTALL

Be sure to have the ‘screen’ package installed, in order to do it you can run:

yum -y install screen

Then you have to execute the script on a screen session, to do this run:

screen

And then execute the script:

chmod +x a2billing_setup.sh
./a2billing_setup.sh

Thanks for checking it out!

Hi,

If you are using alestic Ubuntu AMIs for AWS/EC2 the timezone is UTC by default, I had to change that to GMT for a customer here is a way to do it automatically in your build script or without human intervention:

echo “Etc/GMT” | tee /etc/timezone
dpkg-reconfigure –frontend noninteractive tzdata

Note: The –frontend option has two – in front

You can check more timezones at the directory /usr/share/zoneinfo/

Hope it helps you!

Cheers!
