Seems like the PiaF NV people should one-up them with an Orgasmatron Amazon Machine Image

When trying to restore the full backup set I get:

Potential Security Breach
You are attempting to modify settings from a URL that does not appear to have come from a FreePBX page link or button. This can occur if you manually typed in the URL below. This action has been blocked because the HTTP_REFERER does not match your current SERVER. If you require this access, you can set CHECKREFERER=false in amportal.conf to disable this security check

The suspect URL is listed below. If this action is intended, you can click this link and your action will be processed. Do not proceed with this if you did not intended to execute this command as it may result in changes to your configuraiton.

SUSPECT LINK: http://192.168.2.110/admin/config.php?type=tool&display=backup&action=restored&dir=/var/lib/asterisk/backups/RightNow/20090524.20.30.41.tar.gz&filetype=ALL&file=20090524.20.30.41.tar.gz

[WM: FreePBX has implemented some new security measures. Assuming you got the Orgasmatron Installer from our download site, it’s safe. It obviously was produced with a different IP address than your system which explains the warning.]

BUG: Some versions of the Orgasmatron Installer incorrectly set up Telephone Reminders for use with Cepstral instead of Flite. Unless you have installed Cepstral, this means your reminder message won’t be heard. To fix it, log in as root. Edit index.php in /var/www/html/reminders. At about line 24, change $ttspick = 1 to $ttspick = 0 and save the file.

The instructions say to start with the 32-bit version. Will it work with 64-bit version or is it better to install 32-bit version even on 64-bit machine?

(I want to do a new VM install on a Dell PowerEdge Server 840)

[WM: 64-bit isn’t supported by Digium or the developers so stick with the 32-bit version. Runs fine on a 64-bit machine.]

It was great to meet you at the Atlanta Asterisk Users Group Conference. This sounds like it will be useful and I will be testing it out this week. Thanks, JC

Wondering how to install Orgasmatron on Amazon EC2? 🙂

[WM: Maybe someday. It’s a fairly complex undertaking. Perhaps we should write a book. 🙄 ]

Great job Ward,Thx. Will it work with previous PIAF versions like 1.2 1.3?

[WM: Probably. But you need a clean install without customization to use the Orgasmatron Installer. If you’re starting fresh, you might just as well use a current version. 🙂 ]

Point of Clarification - early in the writeup it says V1.4 or V1.6, but then around "Installation" it talks about V1.4 only. Will this work with V1.6? [WM: Not yet tested with 1.6, but we'll get there. Feel free to experiment and report back problems.]

Simple, but brilliant way to do this. Well done!

What is the minimum configuration for the box running this PBX in a Flash version? I am looking to experiment - with one call at a time. I don't need to run a full blown PBX and wouldn't mind if some of the applications are a bit slow. [WM: The Atlanta Asterisk Users Group has done some work on this. Here is their recommendation] * CPU = Pentium III 863 MHz or greater * RAM = 512 MB or greater * HD = 10 GB or greater * NIC = Ethernet 10Base * CDROM or DVD reader

Nice write up. First time using the Orgasmatron Installer and it worked out pretty well. Was able to do a full backup to a smb share right away. I didn’t like the range of 7xx for the ext so i went ahead and removed all of them but left 701. I’m anal, like starting with 1xx for some reason.

[WM: Whatever best meets your needs is the way to go. That’s one of the beauties of PBX in a Flash.]

Will MONDO work with this? Will I be able to backup to a USB stick with this? I just purchased a "wal mart special" and I am wondering if I should download the ISO's for the Everex Orgasmatron 2 or do this new method with the latest bells and whistles. [WM: Mondo will work to store ISOs to a USB stick, but the bootable flash drive is not sufficiently reliable to use yet. We received some updated Mondo software this week that hopefully will fix the problem. Once we've tested it, we will integrate it into the installer and provide an update through SUSHI.]

After testing this out on a virtual machine, I found the following inconsistency: The Backup & Restore Module was not installed. After applying the module updates via FreePBX's Module Admin, install the Backup & Restore Module, also using the Module Admin page. Once installed, apply configuration changes, reload. "Backup & Restore" now appears on the "Tools" tab as indicated. [WM: Sounds like you didn't go through the first three steps in the FreePBX setup process that we outlined in the tutorial. The Backup and Restore module gets installed during that procedure.]
