[OpenSIPS-Users] Installing OpenSIPS on Red Hat

[Nicholas Papadakos]

I don't have anything against Debian but I think Centos or RH would be more
suitable to the task if they were properly supported.

 

 

I don't know but I always have a feeling of being safer using those
platforms for my mission critical applications J

 

And opensips certainly falls into that category.

 

I do believe there should be more attention to those flavors as they are
more often found on corporate datacenters than debian and sysadmins are more
confortable supporting them.

Hi Adrian,

 

 Not sure if this is what yer after though I am a CentOS x86_64 admin and
this is what I did. I don't have trouble with 'translation' (CentOS/Debian)
so much, its the dependencies that were and are always a huge pain. Once
those were figured out, all was well and working. I found all the info I
needed from searching the list archive.

 

I started with...

 

 

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-repository

 

## Copy and paste the below

[epel]

name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 5 - $basearch

#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/$basearch

mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5
<http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=$basearch>
&arch=$basearch

failovermethod=priority

enabled=1

gpgcheck=1

gpgkey=http://mirror.its.dal.ca/pub/epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL

 

 

# get a complete list of all packages so you can pick/choose

yum search opensips

 

# Install what you need

yum install opensips opensips-mysql ... etc.

 

 

These might be older than the current debian packages (not sure), though
I've had no issues and if anything these are stable versions. I wish
opensips and the commonly sought after tools
(mediaproxy/cdrtool/rtpproxy/sems..etc) were better RH supported, though
dependencies are more the problem than the opensips packaging itself. I
suppose I can't complain...if it were THAT important to me I would build my
own updated rpm's and have them to share with you.

 

 Come to think of it...if I were to create a software and give it out for
free...I would only support what I created in the first place. With the
tools I used. If you want it differently, create it.

 

 

All the best.

 

Skyler.

Hello,

 

I've seen many information on how to install OpenSIPS in DEBIAN, but in my
case i need to install it on Red Hat, i've found some information but not
very well supported, i would like to have a very clean and stable
installation for a very large and stable production server, is there any
recommendations please?

Regards
