Nerd Vittle’s PIAF2 on CentOS6.2
Question: Am I the only one in the world whose installation of newly released PIAF2 (PBX-in-a- Flash 2)on PVE (Proxmox virtual machines) miserably keeps failing?
This feels so strange because I can not remember if it ever failed to install before. The problem is that after the first phase of installation, it just goes the infamous #bash prompt meaning the following phases simply refuse to begin. I first suspected the problem with network connection (ethernet, IP etc), but when I do ‘ifconfig’, it correctly displays dhcp‘ed IP address and ethernet connection information. I have repeated this process at least 4 times before declaring something is gravely wrong with this latest release. It looks to me not even ready for the usual internal alpha-release stage, how they dared?
HAPPY NOTE: I’m sorry, PIAF2! Again, it’s not your fault but my own ‘not-so-perfect’ installation setup. I, somehow, suspected this for some time, but not was so sure. As it turns out, my network’s dhcp server didn’t provide DNS server info correctly, rather it did not supply one! Later PIAF2 installation scripts also was at fault in that it simply gave up trying to connect PIAF server too early without giving any hints what’s wrong! Just one lousy error message would have saved a lot of my wasted time. After I replaced current dhcp server (which is a simple DSL router) with a dedicated DD-WRT router which has more robust dhcp server in it. Now, this latest, greatest release installed without any glitch, I am now eager to find out what’s in there.
