ASTPP VoIP Billing v5.0 Debian v9 Freeswitch v1.10 Install Guide

Submitted by powerpbx on Wed, 09/29/2021 - 09:04

This guide covers the installation of the ASTPP VoIP billing and Freeswitch applications. ASTPP is installed manually from source. Freeswitch is installed from deb packages.

Tested using the following software:

Debian v9 (Stretch) x64 minimal install
ASTPP v5.0
Freeswitch v1.10
Nginx v1.10
PHP v7.3
MySQL v8

Prerequisites

Verify locale is set to en US.UTF-8.

locale

If it is not then set it now. You may also set your own UTF-8 locale if not in the US.

# Select en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
apt -y install locales && dpkg-reconfigure locales

Log out/in or close/open shell for changes to take effect.

Install prerequisite packages

apt update && apt -y upgrade && apt -y remove apache2

apt -y install software-properties-common

add-apt-repository 'deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ stretch/updates main contrib'

apt update && apt -y install git nano dbus sudo nginx wget curl sqlite3 haveged ghostscript lsb-release libtiff5-dev libtiff-tools at dirmngr postfix gawk dnsutils openssl ntp unixodbc unixodbc-bin net-tools whois sensible-mda mlocate vim gettext fail2ban ntpdate ntp lua5.1 bc libxml2 libxml2-dev openssl libcurl4-openssl-dev gettext gcc g++ gnupg2

Postfix

If a postfix configuration wizard pops up you can select the default Internet Site and also the default mail name. These settings can be manually changed later in /etc/postfix/main.cf.

PHP

# install this section one line at a time.

apt -y install apt-transport-https ca-certificates
wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/php.gpg https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg
echo "deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list

apt update && apt -y install php7.3 php7.3-fpm php7.3-gd php7.3-opcache php7.3-cli php7.3-common php7.3-curl php7.3-sqlite3 php7.3-odbc php7.3-mysql php7.3-xml php7.3-json php7.3-mbstring php7.3-readline php7.3-imap

MySQL

Configure

# Confirm MySQL Server & Cluster (mysql-8.0) is currently selected
cd /opt && wget https://repo.mysql.com/mysql-apt-config_0.8.17-1_all.deb
dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.17-1_all.deb

Install MySQL

# You can leave root password blank
# IMPORTANT: Select "Use Legacy Authentication" when asked

apt update && apt -y install mysql-server

Install ODBC

wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-ODBC/8.0/mysql-connector-odbc_8.0.22-1debian9_amd64.deb
dpkg -i mysql-connector-odbc_8.0.22-1debian9_amd64.deb

Disable Selinux

Check status

sestatus

If the command is found and is not disabled, set SELINUX=disabled in /etc/selinux/config. Requires reboot for changes to take effect.

sed -i 's/\(^SELINUX=\).*/\SELINUX=disabled/' /etc/selinux/config

Disable Firewall

It is sometimes helpful to disable the firewall during installation.

systemctl disable firewalld
systemctl disable iptables
systemctl stop firewalld
systemctl stop iptables

Timezone

## FIND YOUR TIMEZONE
tzselect

## SET TIMEZONE EXAMPLE
timedatectl set-timezone America/Vancouver

## CHECK TIMEZONE
timedatectl status

systemctl restart rsyslog

Install

Freeswitch

Get your signalwire token according to these instructions:
https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/HOWTO+Create+a+SignalWire+Personal+Access+Token

Once you have your signalwire token install freeswitch packages

TOKEN=YOURSIGNALWIRETOKEN
 
apt-get update && apt-get install -y gnupg2 wget lsb-release
 
wget --http-user=signalwire --http-password=$TOKEN -O /usr/share/keyrings/signalwire-freeswitch-repo.gpg https://freeswitch.signalwire.com/repo/deb/debian-release/signalwire-freeswitch-repo.gpg

Enable services

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable freeswitch
systemctl restart freeswitch

Test Freeswitch console

If fs_cli command is not working change the following line.

nano +4 /etc/freeswitch/autoload_configs/event_socket.conf.xml

<param name="listen-ip" value="127.0.0.1"/>

systemctl restart freeswitch

Browse to control panel

https://x.x.x.x

username: admin
password: admin

The 443 listening port can be changed at /var/lib/astpp/astpp-config.conf and /etc/nginx/sites-available/astpp.conf. Remember to add the port on the firewall as well. If accessing by DNS name change the IP to the DNS name in /var/lib/astpp/astpp-config.conf.

User documentation is located at the following link
https://docs.astppbilling.org/display/itplmars/Overview+of+ASTPP

Troubleshooting

The primary ways to troubleshoot are to watch the fs_cli command line in real time or to scan the log files, some of which duplicate that info. The fs_cli info is logged in /var/log/freeswitch.log.

When troubleshooting it is also sometimes helpful to enable debugging. There are at least 4 separate debugging settings in ASTPP.

The first place to start would usually be to set

/opt/ASTPP/web_interface/astpp/application/config/config.php > $config['log_threshold'] = 4

This will cause a date stamped log file to be created at

/opt/ASTPP/web_interface/astpp/application/log

which shows all the PHP code being initialized and any errors in that code. This should only be enabled temporarily as the log files are not automatically deleted. There may also be some sensitive information in those files.

The second debugger is in the GUI at

Configuration > Settings > Calls  > Debug

This will enable logging to /var/log/astpp.log and will show the variables being passed to freeswitch from the database.

The 3rd debugger is located in the GUI at

Switch > SIP Profiles > default > sip-trace

If changed to yes and adding another setting tracelevel = debug you can trace SIP traffic.

Lastly, you can enable php debugging by going to

/opt/ASTPP/web_interface/astpp/index.php

and set define ( 'ENVIRONMENT', 'development' ). This allows you to see the PHP errors in a web browser as they happen instead of just in the log files.
