• "To log onto this virtual asterisk at home box, the console user is root and pw is vmwarez. the web username is maint and the pw is vmwarez."

• After looking at your network diagram and thinking about going 100% voip i have a few thoughts im chewing on
  
  for backup an apc hooked up to the cable or dsl modem and a hardwired aix phone should last a long time ifs thats all thats hooked up
  
  the phone service very rarely goes down as is the power or my provider so in the event everything is down what to do in a emergancy: all cell phones no matter if there subscibed or not must access 911 (in canada anyways)
  
  why are you using vondage ? you really dont need a pbx with them as they provide everything
  
  
  many thanks for the vm image

• Thanks for the image, i was just wondering if there's a mirror or maybe a .torrent file? Been trying to download it, but cant get more than 1k/sec

• I don't know of any torrents for it... but www.nerdvittles.com does have it hosted there too.

• Can this image be used on a ESX Server? If not, is there a way to change the file format to one that ESX could load?

  By Anonymous, at February 07, 2006 7:39 PM  

• This image cannot because it is using an IDE drive. I've tried to install Asterisk@Home on ESX, but the CentOS build did not support scsi drives. If anyone knows how to get around that, I'd love to try it.

  By Jim, at February 07, 2006 9:07 PM  

• Yeah, I currently have a Asterisk@home 1.x server in production and its running fine, however i tried installing a 2.x on a EXS and I couldnt get it to install. I'll see what i can do to get it to boot and i'll let you know

  Anyone know where to find it on NerdVittles? Downloads from this site run extremely slowly and then time out, wasting bandwidth.
  Thanks!

  By Anonymous, at February 08, 2006 2:03 PM  

• Ok I figured out a way to get it installed, when creating the machine, just specify the virtual HDD to use IDE instead of SCSI, and it should work without a prob. I'll try to get a complete image and i'll post a torrent when i get it tweaked as I wanted (using some guides found on other pages)

• Thank you very much for this -- looking forward to your upgraded "tweaked" version.
  
  ps: Thank you for not clearing the command shell buffer as I have a better idea in what you did to update it -- and I think it is a tad more trustworthy release :-)
  Is there anywhy to increase the buffer size for your tweaked version too?

• any recommendations on termination providers?
  i was able to use asterisk to make outbound calls, just not inbound ones.
  
  i think i was using voicepulse or something like that

• Can you give us an update version of the VM that would include A2Billing 3.0?

  By Anonymous, at February 16, 2006 10:57 AM  

• I'll get to work on it... next release of this vm should be in about a week.

  By Jim, at February 16, 2006 12:09 PM  

• Nice! hopefully the instructions posted at Nerd Vittles will also work with your next release for us the newbies to the Linux world.

• Thanks for the great VM! How to logon to CRM and Flash Panel ?

  By Anonymous, at February 18, 2006 12:18 AM  

• the default username and password for sugar crm as delivered with asterisk@home is admin and password. The default security key for the flash panel is passw0rd (that's a zero). HTH.

  By Jim, at February 18, 2006 1:18 PM  

• Ok I have the same problem I can not get into the crm with the password given before any hints ;)

• Can anyone tell me how I can access the web gui from the virtual machine?
  
  thanks

  By Anonymous, at February 20, 2006 3:50 PM  

• You can't unless you install x or want to look at the "web gui" using lynx :)... use a browser on your physical machine or on another vm. HTH

• Can Asterix use Altigen cards? I have a Triton Voip card and several of their trunk interface cards that I'd like to put to use.

  By Scottie Sharpe, at February 21, 2006 7:43 PM  

• I'm not sure.... I'm more of a VMware expert than I am an Asterisk. I'd check over at www.voipjots.com or www.nerdvittles.com.

  By Jim, at February 21, 2006 10:21 PM

  Any word on when the next release is coming out. Thank you one more time for your great work!

  the login with username root and password vmwarez does not work.
  Wich is the the right password to log into the VM of A@H ?

• Hi Jim.. Thanks for this vmware image. I have finally got working after buying a Linksys WRT54g router.
  
  Note: some routers have problems with sip traffic so you won't be able to register with your sip provider.
  
  Only problem I have is, physical memory keeps hitting 97%- 99% and then my swap file kicks in at 5%. This problem occurs with my vmware pc set to 128mb / 256mb and even 512mb.. just a matter of time. ie. depending on how many calls I make. Why is this? Does AAH home have to use up all physical memory before using swap file?? Why can't it use a good combination like windows xp? ie. 60% physical memory and 256mb swap file etc.

• Hi Jim! Thanks for this VMWARE image. I finally got working after buying a Linksys WRT54g router.
  
  I have a problem, my physical memory keeps hitting 97%-99% not matter how much memory I allocate to my VMWARE PC. Tried 128/256/512mb - same problem.. just a matter of time.. depending on number of calls made. My swap file only kicks in at 4%-6% after physical memory is at 97% ?? Why is this? Why can't AAH manage its memory better.. ie like xp.. 50% physical and say 400mb swap file.. instead of eating up all the physical memory. I have to keep rebooting VMWARE PC to free up memory!!

• Does anyone know how to expose my web gui for A@H to the internet? I want to use a Dynamic DNS service to point to my VM's IP address to access the GUI?
  
  Example:
  
  Setting router ip address XX.XXX.XX.X:5478 to 192.XXX.XX.X:80 but I don't think that the VM is listening to that port which I would think it is because I can type 192.XXX.XX.X inside my network and reach the web gui....
  
  ANY help is appreciated!

  i try "passw0rd" as root Password
  and i try vmwarez as root Password

• OK, this new release of the AAH2.6 VM has all password UNCHANGED from the base install. That should fix any of these problems. Sorry about that.

  By Anonymous, at March 04, 2006 8:17 AM  

• "OK, this new release of the AAH2.6 VM has all password UNCHANGED from the base install." Default password for most stuff is "password" but for the Flash Panel, I think it is "passw0rd"
  
  I'll update the article to mention that so that it is more clear. HTH

• I'm having trouble getting the network to function in wmware...
  Is it my hw-router or the system running wmware that are to asign the ip-adress?

  By Anonymous, at March 07, 2006 4:57 PM  

• hi all, vmware can work with asterisk and digum cards (pci slot) ??? sorry for my english.

  By fjpa, at March 12, 2006 6:25 PM  

• Nope, it can only work with network attached devices.

  By Jim, at March 12, 2006 8:04 PM  

• Can this distro work with VMWare Server (free, currently in beta)?
  
  Motivation: We currently have an Asterisk@Home server that is doing dual duty also running http://open-dent.com/.
  
  Updating Asterisk becomes a real pain, but being able to run Asterisk in a VM might reduce the hassle to restoring the (quite simple) configuration after each update.
  
  Thanks for putting this distro together and keeping it updated!

  By Anonymous, at March 13, 2006 1:09 AM  

• Yep, I'm pretty sure it will work with VMware Server. I have been considering doing the same thing with my AAH box at home for the exact same reason... Updating from rev to rev is a pain in the a**.

• Hi Everyone,
  
  I'm not a expert in Linux but was able to get everything up and running and was able to make a successful call from my vmware Asterisk box. After I was satisfy with an hour's work, I rebooted the my vmware then try to ping my router again as before, to my surprise, it stopped pinging.
  I checked the adaptor interface, the settings are correct.
  
  Does anyone know where the problem is?
  
  Tried setting the ethernet adaptor to NAT, Bridge, and host.
  
  
  Any assistance is appreciated.
  
  Thanks.

• Hello all,
  
  I've start running the Asterisk at Home on my VMWare Server for testing purpose.
  
  I can login to my asterisk box, but how can I create an account for my users?
  
  Can I make a call to my cell phone? Or just internally call only?
  
  I might need more advice on Asterisk software & how does it works....
  
  Thanks

• I just installed your latest 2.7 release using vmware server Beta 2. It works awsome with the server version with no issues. Actually you don't even know it's there from the desktop and what's great is that I can access the console from any computer on my network. It definately is a viable solution for a softphone or IP phone setup. I am testing it to see how stable it is. I have noticed some console stability problems with the server console but not with the machine. As far as resources it seems to run just fine. I allocated 300mb of memory out of my 2g and it doesn't seem to slow down my machine one bit! I think the vmware server is a better approach than player. Player seems to run with in the current GUI when server seems to run indipendant so to speak. I was even joking that someone using my computer wouldn't even know that I am running AHH. Cool and thanks for the great effort!!!!! This is also an awsome install for Newbies to Linux and AHH alike. I am well versed in Linux but not AHH and this helped the learning curve. I would suggest that Newbies take the time and install Webmin. Takes the hassle out of Linux administration. Nerd Vittles has instructions on how to set it up....EB

• Hello you said that right now, you cannot use digium cards with the latest release of aah and vmware, is that because a vmware limitation, or because of the install ?
  
  In the future, could there be support for using digium cards ?
  
  Thnx.

  By Anonymous, at April 26, 2006 1:42 PM  

• It is a virtualization issue. I bet you will never be able to use digium devices in vmware.

  By Anonymous, at July 19, 2006 8:41 AM  

• Jim,
  We've posted an "enhanced" (we hope) VMware image of TrixBox 1.1.1 which is preconfigured for newbies. Got any spare bandwidth??
