How to Install Trixbox 2.6.0.7 on a VPS

This article was last edited for Trixbox CE 2.8.0.4. Please be aware that newer versions may require different steps.

Trixbox is a software-based PBX built upon Asterisk. The current version as of this writing is built upon the Asterisk 1.6 base and includes FreePBX/Flash Operator Panel (FOP) for web-based management.

Installation

First begin by deploying a clean install of CentOS 5.x on your VPS, then run through each of the following shell commands in order. Some take longer to complete than others so be patient!

yum -y install yum-fastestmirror 
yum -y update 
yum -y upgrade
yum -y groupinstall Base 
yum -y install mod_perl perl-Net-SSLeay bison-devel openssl-perl openssl097a iptraf

echo "NETWORKING=yes" > /etc/sysconfig/network 
echo "HOSTNAME=trixbox1.localdomain" >> /etc/sysconfig/network 
echo "# Do not remove the following line, or various programs" > /etc/hosts 
echo "# that require network functionality will fail." >> /etc/hosts 
echo "127.0.0.1 trixbox1.localdomain trixbox1 localhost.localdomain localhost" >> /etc/hosts

Issue a reboot and when the server comes back up it will automatically finish the install. It may take a few minutes to complete, and you can watch the progress in the console!
