Networking
Fixed
For a static IP address in the guest, choose 'Virtual Network (venet)'.
Bridged
Bridged networking does DHCP.
If you choose a Bridged network where an IP comes from your DHCP server, you'll need to add a file: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.
Make it look like this:
DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp DHCPCLASS= ONBOOT=yes
In addition, there is a problem with /etc/sysconfig/network. Edit the file using the actual hostname of your machine so that it looks like this:
NETWORKING="yes" NETWORKING_IPV6=no HOSTNAME="whateveryourhostnameis"
Then:
service network restart
Installation
Download and burn the PiaF 1.6 ISO image. It will run on Atom-based (newer) hardware.
Log in as root:
genzaptelconf
netconfig
service network restart
nano -w /etc/asterisk/sip_custom.conf
externip=180.12.12.12 localnet=192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
passwd-master
(FreePBX default login with user 'maint' and password 'password')
Other passwords can be set in your system with these commands:
passwd… reset your root user password passwd-maint… reset your FreePBX maint password passwd-wwwadmin… for users needing FOP and MeetMe access passwd-meetme… for users needing only MeetMe access passwd-webmin… for users needing WebMin access to your server (very dangerous!)
