Author:
    Elena-Ramona Modroiu

• Kamailio (OpenSER) 3.0.0 installed. There is a patch in misc directory to make latest SIREMIS work with older OpenSER (Kamailio) 1.5.x – that should work as well with Kamailio (OpenSER) 1.4.x for the database tables that had no structure change in 1.5.x.
• Web server (e.g., Apache)
• PHP5 with MySQL support

Latest version of SIREMIS 1.x is available at:

• http://siremis.asipto.com/pub/downloads/siremis/
• it includes everything, so you do not need to download something extra

Untar the archive on the local file system (e.g., in your web server root folder):

• cd /var/www
• tar xvfz siremis-x.y.z.tgz

Set the web URL alias to SIREMIS-WEB folder:

• edit web server config (for Apache2: /etc/apache2/sites-available/default)
• add something like:

  Alias /siremis/ "/var/www/siremis-x.y.z/siremis-web/"
  <Directory "/var/www/siremis-x.y.z/siremis-web/">
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
      AllowOverride All
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
      RedirectMatch ^/siremis/$ /siremis/bin/
      <Files ~ "\.inc$">
          Order allow,deny
          Deny from all
      </Files>
  </Directory>

• Note that siremis-web contains symbolic links to folders in siremis directory – be sure you keep it this way if you copy/move siremis intallation.
• Following directories must have write permission for web server: siremis/log, siremis/session, siremis/files and siremis/templates/cpl.
• Restart the web server

Set the connection to MySQL:

• edit file siremis/metadata/Config.xml and set MySQL server address, username, password and Kamailio (OpenSER) database name.

Create user access table:

• create a new table in Kamailio (OpenSER) database name ob_users:

    CREATE TABLE `ob_users` (
        `SYSID` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
        `USERID` varchar(15) NOT NULL,
        `PASSWORD` varchar(15) DEFAULT NULL,
        PRIMARY KEY  (`SYSID`)
    );

• add an user using mySQL command

    INSERT INTO ob_users(USERID, PASSWORD) VALUES (‘admin’, ‘admin’);

Access the web page:

    http://yourserver.com/siremis/
    Enter username and password to log in

If you want Accounting Services follow instructions at Install Accounting

• if you want MI Commands Panel follow instructions at: Install MI Commands Panel
• for XMLRPC Commands Panel you must install pear package XML_RPC

• for FreeSwitch event socket communication

• if you want Charts Panel follow instructions at: Install Charts Panel

Quick upgrade:

• if you haven’t used MI commands or Charts, then you can simply replace the current installation directory with the new version and set the database connection details in metadata/Config.xml.

Upgrade guidelines:

• make a backup of current Siremis installation directory
• replace old installation directory with the new one extracted from tarball
• then update metadata/Config.xml (see above) with database connection details (you can copy the file from previous installation)
• restore services cofiguration
  • go to siremis/metadata/service/
  • update copy from same folder of previous Siremis installation directory the files siremisMICommands.xml and siremisCharts.xml
