I have a FreePBX Distro with Centos 6.2 basically ready for some early testers. If you would like to test this please PM me. At this time I only have 32bit versions. Once we know everything works well on the 32bit I will publish a 64bit for testing.

The Centos 6.2 includes FreePBX 2.10 and Asterisk 10.4.0. At this time we will not be offering the Centos 6.2 with Asterisk 1.8

The 32bit is now available for download at http://schmoozecom.com/distro-download.php. It would be the one that ends in version .62 for Centos 6.2

Firstboot errors
When I install I get Firstboot script errors. Looks like something is not downloading. when I reboot, thefirstboot script runs again with new error etc etc.

OK well I just tested and it worked for me. Do you have internet connection for firstboot.

Tried it again and some errors showed up during firstbootscript, but it downloaded some things and afterwords everything is looking fine.
I am asking myself, what would be the great advantage in asterisk 10 instead of 1.8 ? I will try this distro and test it for the next week.
Thanx for the great work

Its just since Centos 6.2 is cutting edge we mine as well stay with Asterisk 10 as cutting edge also.
We are already maintaining like 8 different versions of the Distro.

Wow what a boot time difference!
Boot time on same system:
1.812.210.58 1 min 20sec
1.1004.210.62 35 seconds!!!
It feels that Centos 6.2 is booting much faster!!!
Don't know what the reason is, don't have to know also.
Is it possible to install the stable Fpbx 2.9 on CentOS 6.2??
or are there important reasons not to use 6.2 yet?
Bas Huijsen at 4AllBusiness.nl Voip services and hardware.
No we have not done a FreePBX 2.9 release in 6 months. You could compile your own

sorry, my mistake.
I was thinking about Fbpx 2.10 and Centos6.2
My bad
Is that possible without problems?
Bas Huijsen at 4AllBusiness.nl Voip services and hardware.
I am confused. This Distro is FreePBX 2.10 and Centos 6.2

I was thinking that Fpbx 2.10 and CenOS 6.2 would be a great combination with Asterisk 1.8.x LTS version.
It's getting late here LOL, so I forgot to mention the asterisk version 1.8.x
Bas Huijsen at 4AllBusiness.nl Voip services and hardware.
Oh ya no plans at this time for that. Right now if you want Centso 6.2 than its Asterisk 10 with FreePBX 2.10

Thanx for your time and patience with me. I will try asterisk 10.

Hi Tony,
Tested on CentOS 6.2 and found no problems till now.
What would be the reason not to use Centos 6.2? Security??
CentOS 6.2 boots PBX in 30 seconds, Centos 5.5~8 boots a pbx in 1,5 minute
What an amazing speed difference here.

I installed the latest beta (1.1005.210.62-1).
The system admin module is missing. If I try to install the module, I receive an error "PHP Component Zend Guard Loader is required but missing from you PHP installation."
I checked and the loader is already installed. (rpm -q php-5.3-zend-guard-loader
php-5.3-zend-guard-loader-5.5.0-3.i686).
Scallica,
SSH to your box and do `httpd -M` without the backticks and see if the apache sees thinks Zend Guard Loader is loaded.

The output of the 'httpd -M' does not contain the Zend Guard Loader. I see the problem in Apache's error_log file. The ZendGuardLoader.so file on the system is 32-bit, and the OS and Apache are 64-bit.
Scallica,
I should have new rpms built which should resolve this issue, once they are in YUM, I'll try to comment back here to have you test.

Scallica,
There should be a new rpm available in yum for the 64 bit version of Zend Guard Loader.
Bryan Walters

Thanks, I installed the RPM successfully. However, I had to manually enable the module by adding the following lines to php.ini:
zend_extension=/usr/lib64/php/modules/ZendGuardLoader.so
zend_loader.enable=1
zend_loader.disable_licensing=0
zend_loader.obfuscation_level_support=0
The System Admin module installed successfully.
After installing the 32-bit beta distro, I received the following error:
"Some firstboot error occured, and the system is not properly setup. Check to see if you have internet access and re-run /etc/pbx-first-boot.sh". The system has Internet access.
However, the system seems to be working properly and all modules are up to date. I uncommented /etc/pbx-first-boot.sh from /etc/rc.local so the message no longer appears on start up.
On another note, I was having trouble with choppy playback of system recordings and custom recordings on the Hyper-V platform with CentOS 5.8 based distros. All recordings playback perfectly on the CentOS 6.2 beta release.

Might be that I posted in the wrong place...
i am install 10.5 centos 6.2 64Bit from full ISO file.
network tools (like nslookup,dig) not install.
bind-utils package request on all systems
Scallica,
The necessary lines should have already been added to /etc/php.d/zendguard.ini as part of the install process.
sr377,
If you have a package request, please open a feature request on it so that it's on our radar, as it's easily lost in the forum.

If your load you latest beta distro, as future updates come, is there a way to update to the new releases, or at you stuck with a full reload?
I ask as I run a distro here at home as well, and I don't mind testing the stuff, but not sure I have it in me at the moment to do a full reload every update. As long as I can update without slicking the machine, I don't mind trying the newer code here on my personal system..
Yes we always offer upgrade paths

I am about to reload my personal server to get past some issues, so figured maybe I would take and load some of the newer code as long as it wasn't a dead end. Will take a peek at that here soon..

waiting for some thing to do
