Installing Trixbox 2.0 in CentOS VE

Larsks: Minor spelling/grammar changes in opening paragraphs.

== Introduction ==
Here is what I did to installed Trixbox 2.0 in a CentOS VE. I found quite a bit of information scattered over the web and even one in the OpenVZ Forum. Note that my installation doesn't use any hardware such as Zaptel. I still see a warning about "can't load zaptel", but I have still been able to use my VEs. Yes, I have installed several of these.

== Basic Steps ==
Here are the basic steps with details later:
# Create VE from CentOS Template.
# Add character device /dev/tty9 to VE
# Install rpmforge & apt
# Add DAG repository
# Install yum
# Install speex and libspeex-devel
# Download Trixbox 2.0 tar.gz file (not ISO) and extract to /var/trixbox_load
# Change to /var/trixbox_load and run install.sh script
NOTE: You may need to run the script several times. Just seems like YUM doesn't
install all the packages at the same time. I am not sure what's up here.

== Detailed Steps ==
# Create VE from CentOS Template.
#* eg. vzctl create 204 --ostemplate centos-4-i386-default --config vps-basic
# Add character device /dev/tty9 to VE
#* eg. vzctl set 204 --devices c:4:9:rw --save
#* NOTE: If you are using zaptel or capi, then you will need to add those devices to the VE
# Install rpmforge & apt
#* You may check for the most recent release of rpmforge and apt. If you encounter error running rpm, you may need a newer rpm (rpm-4.3.3-18_nonptl.i386.rpm) which u can find in Google.
## Intall RPMFORGE
#* SITE="http://dag.wieers.com/packages/rpmforge-release/"
#* rpm -Uvh ${SITE}/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm
## Install APT
##* STIE="http://dag.wieers.com/packages/apt/"
##* rpm -Uvh ${SITE}/apt-0.5.15lorg3.2-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm
# Add DAG repository for yum
#* rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
#* mkdir -p /etc/yum.repos.d
#* Create a file /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo, with:
#*: [dag]
#*: name=Dag RPM Repository for Red ht Enterprise Linux
#*: baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
#*: gpgcheck=1
#*: enabled=1
# Install yum
## Try installing yum via apt-get
##* apt-get update
##* apt-get install yum
## If that failed, then try doing the easy way. :)
##* rpm --import http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-4
##* SITE=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS
##*: rpm -Uvh ${SITE}/yum-2.4.3-1.c4.noarch.rpm ${SITE}/libxml2-python-2.6.16-6.i386.rpm ${SITE}/python-elementtree-1.2.6-4.2.1.i386.rpm ${SITE}/python-sqlite-1.1.7-1.2.i386.rpm ${SITE}/rpm-python-4.3.3-18_nonptl.i386.rpm ${SITE}/python-urlgrabber-2.9.8-2.noarch.rpm ${SITE}/centos-release-4-4.2.i386.rpm ${SITE}/sqlite-3.3.3-1.2.i386.rpm
##*: NOTE: the whole thing is just one long command, use '\' to break it up.
# Install speex and libspeex-devel
#* rpm -Uvh ${SITE}/speex-1.0.4-4.i386.rpm ${SITE}/speex-devel-1.0.4-4.i386.rpm
# Download [http://www.trixbox.org Trixbox 2.0] tar.gz file (not ISO) and extract to /var/trixbox_load
# Change to /var/trixbox_load
#* mkdir /var/trixbox_load
#* tar zxf trixbox-2.0.tar.gz -C /var/trixbox_load/
# Run install.sh script
## I find that I need to run this script several time, 2 or 3, and that it is best to reboot before running the first time.
##* cd /var/trixbox_load/
##* ./install.sh
