How to configure a static IP address on Elastix4

Configure a Static IP Address without Network Manager

Go to the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory, and locate its configuration file


(ifcfg-enp0s3). Create it if not found.

Open the configuration file and edit the following variables:


In the above, "NM_CONTROLLED=no" indicates that this interface will be set up using this
configuration file, instead of being managed by Network Manager service. "ONBOOT=yes" tells
the system to bring up the interface during boot.
Now this was very easy and quick way to install your Elastix PBX on virtual machine. I hope

Elastix 4 installation on CentOS 7 VPS

Elastix is an unified communications server software that brings together IP PBX, email, IM,
faxing and collaboration functionality. It has a Web interface and includes capabilities such as a
call center software with predictive dialing.

The Elastix functionality is based on open source projects including Asterisk, FreePBX,
HylaFAX, Openfire and Postfix. Those packages offer the PBX, fax, instant messaging and
email functions, respectively.

Elastix is free software, released under the GNU General Public License.

The tutorial was prepared with our "CentOS 7" template and is meant to work on our self-
managed virtual private servers.
0. Preliminary requirements:
"CentOS 7 64-bit" template installed on server.

1. Downloading install scripts:

wget -O Elastix4onCentos7vz.tar.gz --no-check-certificate


https://github.com/thpryrchn/Elastix4onCentos7vz/tarball/master

tar zxvf Elastix4onCentos7vz.tar.gz --strip-components=1

2. Installation process
The first script you have to launch is:

./elastix-install-p1.sh

After installation process you have to reboot your server. Now you can launch the second
installation script:
./elastix-install-p2.sh

In this step you will be asked to setup MySQL password and your Elastic admin user password.
And after this setup you have to reboot your server once again.

And that's it. Now you can login to your Elastic web interface with password you have entered
and manage your Elastix instance:
http://yourhostname

Disable a repository permanently not supported anymore

This method will permanently enable or disable a repository.

Usually, the repository configuration files will be saved in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.

Let us see the available repositories using comma


ls /etc/yum.repos.d/
Sample output:
CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-fasttrack.repo commercial-addons.repo

CentOS-Base.repo.rpmnew CentOS-Media.repo elastix.repo

CentOS-CR.repo CentOS-Sources.repo epel.repo

CentOS-Debuginfo.repo CentOS-Vault.repo epel-testing.repo

We will disable the elastix.repo and commercial-addons.repo repositories because they are
no longer supported.

To do so, edit one of the chosen repository file say ELASTIX repository file:
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/elastix.repo

Change the value enabled=1 to 0 (zero).

Save and close the file. Update the repository lists to take effect the changes.
yum repolist

yum -y upgrade
