How to Install ASTPP on Fedora Server Latest

ASTPP is an open-source billing system designed for modern VoIP networks. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing ASTPP on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

A fresh installation of Fedora Server Latest.
Root access to the server.

Step 1: Update the System

Before installing ASTPP, you need to make sure that your system is up-to-date. Use the following command to update the system:

sudo dnf update

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

ASTPP requires several dependencies to operate correctly. Use the following command to install the required dependencies:

sudo dnf install -y epel-release yum-utils nano wget net-tools mariadb mariadb-server mariadb-devel httpd httpd-devel mod_ssl gcc-c++ php php-cli php-gd php-ldap php-zip php-mysqlnd php-soap php-xml php-mbstring php-fpm php-opcache php-mcrypt php-bcmath python36 python36-setuptools python36-devel python36-pip python36-cryptography python3-jinja2 python3-paramiko python3-ldap python3-lxml python3-selenium python3-sqlalchemy python3-sshtunnel python3-pymysql python-devel python-pip python-wheel

Step 3: Install ASTPP

After installing the required dependencies, we can now start installing ASTPP. Follow the steps below:

Go to the ASTPP website and download the latest version using the following command:
```
wget https://github.com/iNextrix/ASTPP/archive/refs/tags/v4.2.2.tar.gz
```
Extract the downloaded archive using the following command:
```
tar -xvzf v4.2.2.tar.gz
```
Rename the extracted ASTPP directory for convenience:
```
mv ASTPP-4.2.2/ astpp/
```
Install ASTPP using the following command:
```
cd astpp/
sudo python3 setup.py install
```

Step 4: Configure MariaDB

ASTPP requires a database to store its configuration data. We will use MariaDB for this purpose.

Start MariaDB service:
```
sudo systemctl start mariadb
```
Secure MariaDB:
```
sudo mysql_secure_installation
```

Create a database for ASTPP:

mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE astpp;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON astpp.* TO 'astpp'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Replace password with a strong password.

Step 5: Install ASTPP Configurations

Copy ASTPP configuration files to /etc/astpp directory:
```
cp conf/astpp*.conf /etc/astpp/
```

Copy ASTPP database schema to MariaDB:

cd /usr/src/astpp/sql
mysql -u astpp -p astpp < astpp.sql
mysql -u astpp -p astpp < ratings.sql

Update ASTPP configurations for your environment:
```
nano /etc/astpp/astpp.conf
```
Update the values for DATABASE_USER, DATABASE_PASS and DATABASE_NAME with the appropriate values you set earlier.

Step 6: Configure Apache

We will now configure Apache to serve ASTPP.

Create virtual host configuration file:

nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/astpp.conf

And add the following content:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName your_domain.com
  DocumentRoot /usr/src/astpp/
  ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/astpp-error.log
  CustomLog /var/log/httpd/astpp-access.log combined
  <Directory /usr/src/astpp/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Replace your_domain.com with your own domain name.

Start and enable Apache:

sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd

Step 7: Start ASTPP

Generate the ASTPP startup configuration:
```
astpp_start
```
Start ASTPP:
```
astpp_svc start
```

Conclusion

You have now installed and configured ASTPP on your Fedora Server Latest. You can now start using it to manage your VoIP network billing and ratings.
