Installing web MeetMe

Guide to install Web-MeetMe. by Ghirardi Nicola
1. Download and extract Web-MeetMe gui in the root direcotry of your Web Server (usually /var/www/). The actual version of the package is 1.3.3. Run :
wget http://www.fitawi.com/Asterisk/Web-MeetMe_v1.3.3.tgz
As root run:
cd /var/www/
mv Web-MeetMe_v1.3.3.tgz /var/www/
tar -xzf Web-MeetMe_v1.3.3.tgz
mv Web-MeetMe web-meetme (it's not necessary, if you do this you'll have to edit the index.html file in the same folder in order to match the address)


2. Edit the file Web-MeetMe/lib/defines.php in order to match the configuration of your system ( database configuration). Here is an example of the configurable part of the file with some comment.

define ("WEBROOT", "http://192.168.0.1/");
// IP address of you asterisk server
define ("FSROOT", "/var/www/Web-MeetMe/");
// Absolute address of the folder where the package was extracted
define ("LIBDIR", FSROOT."lib/");
define ("HOST", "localhost");
// Server alias
define ("PORT", "3306");
// The standard port used by Asterisk is 3306
define ("USER", "root");
define ("PASS", "");
// Username and password of your database.
//Default password for mysql if it was installed by asterisk@home is
//passw0rd, otherwise the default password for root user in a normal
//mysql installation is empty (“”).
// It's really dangerous use default password for an obvious security
//issue.
define ("DBNAME", "meetme");
// Database name. Don't change if you want to follow this guide.
define ("DB_TYPE", "mysql"); // mysql o postgres
//This guide is for mysql but can easily be adaptable to postgresql.
// Comment the following three lines if you don't want any kind of
// authentication (every user can handle or delete the conference of
// another user). The only authentication method supported by now is
// based on an Active Directory Server.
define ("AUTH_TYPE", "adLDAP"); // adLDAP or ""
define ("ADMIN_GROUP", "Domain Admins");
include (FSROOT."lib/".AUTH_TYPE.".php");
// In order to configure your Active Directory Server parameters you
// have to edit /lib/adLDAP.php
define ("DB_TABLECDR", "cdr");
define ("DB_TABLESCHED", "booking");
// Name of two tables used by the program. Don't change if you don't
//have any partucoular aim.

3. Download and compile app_cbmysql in /usr/src/asterisk/apps or wherever you have the Asterisk source. Run as root:
cd /usr/src/asterisk/apps
wget http://www.fitawi.com/Asterisk/app_cbmysql.c
Edit the Makefile in that folder using the patch www.fitawi.com/Asterisk/Makefile-cbmysql-patch.txt . Compile Asterisk : run make install in the Asterisk source directory (not the subdirectory apps!!!!). In this way you will compile only app_cbmysql.c and not all the other parts of Asterisk.

Note: A comman error is: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpq. You can avoid this error installin the package postgresql-devel (or the equivalent of your distribution). You have to install it even if you will use mysql as database.

4. Create the database meetme and the table booking folling the file www.fitawi.com/Asterisk/db-tables-v2.txt. Here is the sql code used to create the table.

CREATE TABLE `booking` (
`bookId` INT( 11 ) DEFAULT NULL NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`clientId` INT( 11 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ,
`roomNo` VARCHAR( 30 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ,
`roomPass` VARCHAR( 30 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ,
`silPass` VARCHAR( 30 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ,
`startTime` DATETIME DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00' NOT NULL ,
`endTime` DATETIME DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
`dateReq` DATETIME DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00' NOT NULL ,
`dateMod` DATETIME DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00' NOT NULL ,
`maxUser` VARCHAR( 30 ) DEFAULT '10' NOT NULL ,
`status` VARCHAR( 30 ) DEFAULT 'A' NOT NULL ,
`confOwner` VARCHAR( 30 ) NOT NULL ,
`confDesc` VARCHAR( 30 ) NOT NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY ( `bookId` )
);


5. Download cbmysql.conf and copy it in /etc/asterisk. Run:
cd /etc/asterisk
wget http://www.fitawi.com/Asterisk/cbmysql.conf
Edit with your system parameters. A possible configuration is:
[global]
hostname=localhost
dbname=meetme
password=
user=root
port=3306
// database port, the same used in defines.php
sock=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
//Where the used socket is. Default path is ok for red hat flavour while Debian (and his flavors like Ubuntu) has that file in
/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
OptsAdm=dp
OptsUsr=dp
ConfApp=MeetMe
ConfAppCount=MeetMeCount

6. Edit /etc/asterisk/manager.conf
It's necessary to enable the global user and create the phpagi one if it's not already present adding this code:
[phpagi]
secret = phpagi
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0
read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user
write = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user
It's dangerous to leave default password (in every cas). In order to chacge it you have to use the same password in manager.conf and in phpagi.conf in /etc/asterisk.
If that file not exist you have to create it editing phpagi.example.conf in ../Web-MeetMe/phpagi/ .

7. Edit extensions.conf. You can add:
exten => 8600,1,Answer
exten => 8600,2,Wait(1)
exten => 8600,3,CBMysql()
exten => 8600,4,Hangup

8. Check if you have “register_globals = On” in php.ini and the line
“extension=mysql.so” have to be not commented.

9.Reload Asterisk.
