mysql> quit
Bye
Step 2: Uninstall a2billing
[root@elastix agi-bin]# rpm -e elastix-a2billing
[root@elastix agi-bin]#
#mkdir /usr/local/src/a2billing
Step 3: Download a2billing tar package and create under folder /usr/local/src
[root@elastix agi-bin]# cd /usr/local/src/a2billing/
[root@elastix a2billing]#
[root@elastix a2billing]# wget http://www.asterisk2billing.org/downloads/A2Billing_1.4.1.tar.gz

[root@elastix a2billing]#
Step 4: Untar tha package
[root@elastix a2billing]# tar zxvf A2Billing_1.4.1.tar.gz
Step 5: create a MySQL database (mya2billing) for the billing software.
The file a2billing-createdb-user.sql includes a script that creates the database with the correct access
control users and permissions.
#cd /usr/local/src/a2billing
#mysql -u root -p < DataBase/mysql-5.x/a2billing-createdb-user.sql
(the elastix mysql root´s password is: eLaStIx.2oo7)
The script with create a database, username and password with the following default values
Database name is: mya2billing
Database user is: a2billinguser
User password is: a2billing
After creating the database structure, we will create a set of tables and insert some initial basic
configuration data
[root@elastix a2billing]# cd /usr/local/src/a2billing
[root@elastix a2billing]# mysql -u root -p
Enter password: eLaStIx.2oo7
[root@elastix a2billing]# mysql -u root -p mya2billing
Enter password: eLaStIx.2oo7
[root@elastix a2billing]# mysql -u root -p mya2billing
Enter password: eLaStIx.2oo7
Step 6: Copy the a2billing configuration file to /etc folder
[root@elastix a2billing]# cp /usr/local/src/a2billing/a2billing.conf /etc/
Step 7: 6) Edit the file.
#vi /etc/a2billing.conf
Change the “database” paramenter as follow, the other paramaters must remain unchanged:
[database]
hostname = localhost
port = 3306
user = a2billinguser
password = a2billing
dbname = mya2billing
dbtype = mysql
Step 8: Create the additional files and setup the correct owner:
Create the additional files and setup the correct owner
#touch /etc/asterisk/additional_a2billing_iax.conf
#touch /etc/asterisk/additional_a2billing_sip.conf
#echo #include additional_a2billing_sip.conf >> /etc/asterisk/sip.conf
#echo #include additional_a2billing_iax.conf >> /etc/asterisk/iax.conf
#chown -Rf asterisk:asterisk /etc/asterisk/additional_a2billing_iax.conf
#chown -Rf asterisk:asterisk /etc/asterisk/additional_a2billing_sip.conf
Step 9: Install the sound files
