asterisk-gui on Ubuntu 14.10

Good news everyone!

While Ubuntu doesn’t seem to have asterisk-gui in their repository. It’s certainly possible to get it working! All one has to do first is follow this guide.

When that’s done ( the installation part, basically check out from SVN, configure, build, install, no big deal ), you are just a few commands away from a working asterisk-gui!

Unfortunately the make install command installs the web site to the wrong place ( on asterisk at least ). So will have to correct that, and also correct the permissions afterwards:

rm /usr/share/asterisk/static-http
ln -s /var/lib/asterisk/static-http /usr/share/asterisk/static-http
chmod asterisk /var/lib/asterisk -R
chgrp asterisk /var/lib/asterisk -R

Then restart Asterisk, and navigate to the following URL:

http://127.0.0.1:8088/static/config/index.html

After logging in, and start-up configuration, you should see something similar to this:

That’s all folks!
