Editing Installing Trixbox 2.0 in CentOS VE

== Introduction ==
Here 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, my installation don'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.

'''Alternatively''', there is a precreated VE template with Trixbox already created: http://www.justinshipley.com/trixbox-200-pre-installed-template-added/

== 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 don't 
         install all the packages at the same time.  I am no sure what sup here.

== Details Steps ==
# Create VE from CentOS Template.
#* eg. 
 vzctl create 204 --ostemplate centos-4-i386-default --config vps-basic
--You will need to create a template using the tools (vzpkgcache -f)
eg. 
 vzsplit -n 25 -f NAME<
This creates stats for 25 virtual servers all sharing equal resources.

--Also set an ip and nameserver using the following:
 vzctl set 204 --ipadd XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX --save
 vzctl set 101 --nameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX --save
# 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.  One of the links in the resource section will show you how to do this.
# Install rpmforge & apt
#* You may check for the most recent release of rpmforge and apt.
## Install RPMFORGE
 SITE="http://dag.wieers.com/packages/rpmforge-release/"
 rpm -Uvh ${SITE}/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm 
## Install APT
 SITE="http://dag.wieers.com/packages/apt/"
 rpm -Uvh ${SITE}/apt-0.5.15lorg3.2-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm 
# Add DAG repository for yum
 wget http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
 rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
 mkdir -p /etc/yum.repos.d
#* Create a file /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo, with:
   [dag]
   name=Dag RPM Repository for Red ht Enterprise Linux
   baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$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. :)
##: Install a newer rpm (rpm-4.3.3-18_nonptl.i386.rpm) which you can find in Google.
 rpm -Uvh rpm-4.3.3-18_nonptl.i386.rpm
 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 You may need to download and install (rpm -Uvh) dependencies before you can get Yum to work. The dependencies will be listed in the error messages if the install doesnt complete correctly. Wget dependencies from here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/


# Install speex and libspeex-devel
  rpm -Uvh ${SITE}/speex-1.0.4-4.i386.rpm ${SITE}/speex-devel-1.0.4-4.i386.rpm
-Note You may need to download and install (rpm -Uvh) dependencies before you can get Speex to work (Mainly LibOOG and LibOOG-devel). The dependencies will be listed in the error messages if the install doesnt complete correctly. Wget dependencies from here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/

# 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
