Hello,
I'm not so much in experience with linux systems which means i'm unable to install "tar.gz"files successfully,I've tried goggling for help but i end up nowhere.
Kindly give me a detailed way forward i'm trying out Warvox-1.0.1 and my system is linuxmint 12,The other problem is i don't know much about Linux command prompts,I'd appreciate your help so much.
Thank you in advance

What part of the install is giving you a problem?

tar -zxvf <filename>

change to directory then issue the proper commands to compile from source.


think that's right.

Since it's a tarball, you have to melt it first. It is currently in the TAR (archived) and Zipped (gz) format. the first command will un pack it (melt it).

simple stuff, the right google would guide you through what you need.

Warvox is already in BackTrack, ready to be compiled.

I'm think i'm almost done installing warvox on my linuxmint 12 system after i got this confirmation message..

Official documentation for the final step are-
configure the WarVOX username, password, and data directory. To change these parameters, edit etc/warvox.conf. The default username is admin with a password of warvox. If you intend to dial large ranges and your system has more than one CPU or CPU core, change the analysis_threads value to twice the number of available processing units. Once WarVOX has been configured, execute the following command to start the web interface.

$ bin/warvox.rb

Once the web interface is started, it can be accessed from your browser at the URL http://127.0.0.1:7777/. Enter the username and password from the previous step to login.
google instruction are that i Change the username and password in /warvox-1.0.1/etc/warvox.conf and if all goes well i can launch it with

/bin/warvox.rb --address yourIPaddress --port 7777

but i really this is where i need help on the exact steps to take
thanks in advance

I'm not sure if this will help or not, but there were some extra things I had to install depending on version of WarVOX being used.

http://www.ethicalhacker.net/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,54/topic,8125.0/

Any one please help with step i should take to get warvox running on my mint 12 system i successfully got it installed but cannot proceed from the quoted final step

I'm using stable version warvox 1.0.1
what exactly should i do please understand i'm a noob with Unix systems

i got it with terminal commands

"cd /usr/local/src

tar -xvzf warvox-1.0.1.tar.gz
mv warvox-1.0.1 warvox2
cd warvox2

cp/usr/local/src/warvox/lib/kissfft.so ./lib/

apt-get install sqlite3-ruby

vi etc/warvox.conf

make

bin/warvox.rb --address 0.0.0.0 "


i'm getting results as-



#

#
# Configure the username and password for the WarVOX
# web interface. This password is sent in clear text

I have tried to type the default user and password "admin" and "warvox" but nothing happens..what i should i do next..

Thanks in advance

Well, for one, you have to use Developmental code so keep that in mind. I played with it and was able to get it running but then the GUI was throwing errors once up and going. I spent as much time as I'm going to messing with it. Good luck.

Here's what I did on LinuxMint (v13):

I meant i cannot access the web interface note as the instructions say i should start warvox web interface with "bin/warvox.rb" Once the web interface is started, it can be accessed from your browser at the URL http://127.0.0.1:7777/. Enter the username and password from the previous step to login. but when i type "bin/warvox.rb" in the same terminal i get this

i'm surprised how installing warvox can be mind boggling..i'm hoping someone to help me out
Thanks in advance

It's a pain. Took me a while to get it working properly when I needed it too. And as I posted in the other thread, I had an easier time with the stable version rather than the developmental version. Even with the instructions I posted here, once I got the GUI running with those commands, it had other issues. May be due to the version of Linux, may just be that it needs some more coding/work.

I would recommend using BackTrack instead if you need to get up and running quickly.

Thank all for your help i finally got it running on Ubuntu 10.04  had a few issue with ruby gems but solved

cd /usr/local/src

tar zxvf warvox-1.0.1.tar.gz


sudo apt-get install build-essential libiaxclient-dev sox lame ruby ruby-dev rake rubygems libopenssl-ruby libreadline-ruby libsqlite3-ruby gnuplot

sudo gem install mongrel

cd warvox-1.0.1/ && make


What providers do you suggest...

Check Vitelity (http://www.vitelity.com/). You will need to call them and let them know what you are doing though so that they can properly setup your account. This will allow you to directly connect to them using WarVox.

Another option (that I've used previously) is VoicePulse (http://www.voicepulse.com/) but I had to setup a local Asterisk server with IAX2 support first, and then send WarVox to that and then to the provider. For that reason, Vitelity would be an easier option.

Thanks Biiv and all for support..i'm now running warvox with Vitelity without any hussles..Thanks once again

Wow, that's interesting to know. I actually had a co-worker contact me recently about setting up a war-dialing assessment. I called Vitelity directly and talked with their sales, they told me they were no longer supporting IAX2 directly. I thought maybe the guy didn't know what I was talking about. Thanks for posting a follow-up.

In any case, we found a different provider to work directly with warvox that worked very well. That company is Rapidvox (http://www.rapidvox.com/).
