If you are starting from a preinstalled CentOS server:

yum groupremove 'DNS Name Server'
yum groupremove 'Editors'
yum groupremove 'Legacy Network Server'
yum groupremove 'Mail Server'
yum groupremove 'Network Servers'
yum groupremove 'System Tools'
yum groupremove 'Text-based Internet'
yum groupremove 'Web Server'
yum groupremove 'Windows File Server'

yum remove yum-updatesd cups cups-lpd redhat-lsb autofs pcsc-lite smartmontools cpuspeed avahi

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Phoenix /etc/localtime

Now skip to Install Asterisk…

Do a Minimal Install of Centos 5 x64.

I generally disable IPv6 since I've never used it on a PBX.

After the reboot:

yum update -y

then reboot again.

vim /etc/sysconfig/iptables

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8088 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

service iptables reload

iptables -nL

Here we add the RepoForge Repository (x64) needed to install mpg123:

wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
rm -f rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

Now e disable the repo so it doesn't pollute anything later:

vim /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo

enabled=0

Digium now provides separate repositories for different Asterisk versions (1.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 10).

Once you install an Asterisk version, its repo will be enabled permanently.

Check for updates and additional (64-bit) packages here and Asterisk 10 packages here.

yum install --enablerepo=rpmforge dnsmasq mpg123

rpm -Uvh http://packages.asterisk.org/centos/5/current/x86_64/RPMS/asterisknow-version-2.0.0-4_centos5.noarch.rpm

yum install --enablerepo=asterisk-10 asterisk asterisk-configs asterisk-addons

Once installed, you can search for asterisk-related packages using a web browser to the repo URLs or at the command line with YUM:

yum search asterisk

yum install dahdi-linux dahdi-tools libpri

yum update

If you're 'virtual', take a snapshot ot backup now!

yum install asterisk-gui

reboot

yum install freepbx*

reboot
