Vicidial Scratch Installation Guide Alma Linux 9 or Rocky Linux 9 Asterisk 16.30.1 Php8.2

This guide contains a full installation command reference for building a VICIdial server on AlmaLinux using Apache, PHP, MariaDB, Perl modules, DAHDI, Asterisk 16, astguiclient, cron jobs, rc.local startup commands, and Asterisk sounds.

VICIdial AlmaLinux Asterisk 16 MariaDB DAHDI

Requirements

• Fresh AlmaLinux server
• Root SSH access
• Stable internet connection
• Minimum 4 CPU cores recommended
• Minimum 8 GB RAM recommended
• Public or private IP configured correctly

Before You Start

Run these commands as root. If you are using a sudo user, switch to root first:

sudo -i

Update your system first:

dnf update -y

hostnamectl set-hostname xxxxxx.xxxxx.xxx
### Use YOUR SubDomain

vi /etc/hosts
##Change domain name for actual server ip (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx   complete domain name    subdomain only)

timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York
sudo dnf install glibc-common glibc-locale-source glibc-all-langpacks -y
yum check-update
yum update -y
yum -y install epel-release
yum update -y
yum install git -y
yum install kernel* --exclude=kernel-debug* -y

#Disable SELINUX
sed -i 's/SELINUX=enforcing/SELINUX=disabled/g' /etc/selinux/config

Full Installation Commands

Copy the commands carefully. For best results, run the installation in sections instead of pasting everything at once.

chmod 777 /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE
chkconfig asterisk off


reboot

After Installation

After the reboot, check the main services:

systemctl status httpd
systemctl status mariadb
systemctl status dahdi
asterisk -rvvvvv

Check if Apache is listening:

ss -lntp | grep httpd

Check if MariaDB is running:

mysqladmin ping

Check VICIdial cron jobs:

crontab -l

Security Notes

• Do not expose MariaDB publicly.
• Do not expose Asterisk AMI port 5038 publicly.
• Restrict Apache admin pages by firewall or VPN.
• Use strong passwords for cron, custom, and VICIdial users.
• Check SELinux/firewalld rules if the web interface does not load.
• Use HTTPS for production access.
