Trixbox - Step by Step - Part 1
Source: asteriskblog.com
I have had an awful lot of emails lately asking me for some step by step tutorials to installing and using Trixbox. So everyone, here is the beginning stages of getting your Trixbox up and running.
Step One: Have a spare computer.
With Trixbox it is somewhat neccessary (if installing with linux) that you have it on a computer that you don’t use. Being that it is a server without a desktop, at least with the default setup, you will probably not want to have this as your main computer.
The default Trixbox install will wipe your hard drive and automatically set it all up. There are some people who have had trouble with this though, but we will delve into that later.
Step Two: Download the ISO
You can download the ISO here.
You can burn it to a cd using pretty much any burning program, however I reccomend Nero, from Ahead.
Step Three: Install
This part is one of the easiest. Weird, I know. Here goes.
Once the splash screen is up, hit ENTER.
Choose your keyboard, probably US.
Select your timezone.
Type the password you want for the user “root”. It won’t show up, but it’s there.
It will now install. Let it do it’s thing and follow the onscreen instructions.
Now, wasn’t that easy?? We will get into more configuration with your new Trixbox PBX.
