Hi, I have read the Docs on the Wiki (http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_Guide#Precompiled_Binaries) but am still not sure of what the different Windows install files are. Currently, the Windows Installer directory contains :- LATEST_SVN_15106 - 6 Bytes freeswitch-1.0.4.exe - 42 Megabytes freeswitch.exe - 32 Megabytes I have installed the freeswitch-1.0.4.exe file which is dated 3rd September. The freeswitch.exe file is dated 7th October and think that it contains the minor updates since 3rd September ? Could someone who knows FreeSwitch under windows help me understand the two files please ? I chickened out of running the later exe in case it did something to the running install of FreeSwitch 1.0.4, is it safe to run the newer exe with the old one already installed ? What will it actually do ? regards Dave

Hi Dave,

These are supported by "Carlos Talbot" . They also include Freepbx v3

Just as you said freeswitch-1.0.4.exe is the tagged release and
freeswitch.exe is a newer svn snapshot.

There should be no problems installing the new version allthough best to
just try and see!

Not sure why the newest one is from October 7th.

Jeff

Jeff,

thanks a lot for the reply. I was a little confused by the fact that the
"SVN Snapshot" was some 10MB smaller than the Full 1.0.4 file so worried
that I might lose something. As you say though, think that I'll cross my
fingers and try the updated release. I am running FreeSwitch on a test
machine at the moment until the target hardware arrives - hopefully
tomorrow, so I can afford to have a little play.

You mentioned FreePBX V3. I had been fumbling around trying to work out what
this is and from what I've read, it seems to provide a GUI Front End for
configuring FreeSwitch ?

I am guessing that while it has been installed with FreeSwitch, I then need
to run the FreePBX Installer to update the FreePBX/FreeSwitch configuration
on my hardware ?


When I start FreeSwitch, it does not automatically load the WAMPServer.

When I start WAMPServer manually, and open up localhost (127.0.0.1) in a web
browser, I can see the WampServer logo and various tools such as phpinfo()
and phpmyadmin. FreePBX is there under Your Projects.

When I opened this up the first time, it appeared to want to install FreePBX
over FreeSwitch, I tried to abort this when it was going to overwrite some
FreeSwitch conf files and I thought I'd better not go on until I had a
better idea what was happening. I backed out of the FreePBX install and now
I can't get the FreePBX or phpmyadmin pages up again (missing files) so it
looks like I'm going to have to reinstall anyway.

So, for next time,am I right in thinking that I should proceed with running
the FreePBX install from the WAMPServer menu ?

regards
Dave

Dave,

Carlos can probably be a better help here too but yes Freepbx v3 is a web
gui that is under heavy development - it probably is not yet ready for
production but looks very promising!

you can navigate to http://127.0.0.1/freepbx-v3/index.php/installer.html and
restart the installer for freepbx if you want to experiment with it.

The base FreeSWITCH installer does install and work well with windows and is
quite easy to learn and configure. Their is a lot to learn though

Regards,
Jeff

Hi Carlos,

very cool that the x64 version is included now! Hopefully this will get more
people using the x64 version under Windows!

Regards,
Jeff

Hi Carlos, thanks a lot for the reply on the Windows stuff - and for doing the pre-compile ! It saves me from having to do that myself while I'm busy just trying to learn FreeSwitch - not an easy task in itself, well, not for me anyway !. As much as a GUI would make working with FS easier, I think I'll keep away from FreePBX at the moment, I'm liable just to get myself more confused and break what I have working. I'll wait for a "Production Ready" version before I mess with this again I think. Just one clarification then, am I right in thinking that, after I have installed a release version of FS, if I then install one of the SVNs over it, it will keep all configuration etc. in tact, i.e., I won't lose anything that I've changed in the conf files etc?

I am running FreeSwitch on a testmachine at the moment until the target hardware arrives - hopefullytomorrow, so I can afford to have a little play. I usually try to update the svn file at least once a month. I have a new version ready that was compiled last night but am ironing out login issues with the FS dudes for upload access. Also, the SVN snapshot now includes binaries for 32 and 64 bit. It no longer includes flite though as the install file was approaching 80MB in size. I will revisit this later if others feel it important to include flite. You mentioned FreePBX V3. I had been fumbling around trying to work out whatthis is and from what I've read, it seems to provide a GUI Front End forconfiguring FreeSwitch ? Yes, it's still in development phase and as such not ready for production use.

Freeswitch and WAMPServer are independant of each other. WAMPServer is bundled in this install for the purpose of FreePBX as MySQL, Apache and PHP are all required components of FreePBX. When I start WAMPServer manually, and open up localhost (127.0.0.1) in a webbrowser, I can see the WampServer logo and various tools such as phpinfo()and phpmyadmin. FreePBX is there under Your Projects. If you want to configure FreePBX you need to click on the FreePBX.url shortcut that gets created on your desktop.

No, launch it from the shortcut as stated above. Unfortunately, at this time there is very little user documentation on configuring FreePBX.
