Installing IOncube - php loader / decryptor
wget http://voipmonitor.org/ioncube/x86_64/ioncube_loader_lin_7.4.so -O /usr/lib/php/7.4/ioncube_loader_lin_7.4.so echo "zend_extension = /usr/lib/php/7.4/ioncube_loader_lin_7.4.so" > /etc/php/7.4/mods-available/ioncube.ini ln -s /etc/php/7.4/mods-available/ioncube.ini /etc/php/7.4/apache2/conf.d/01-ioncube.ini ln -s /etc/php/7.4/mods-available/ioncube.ini /etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/01-ioncube.ini
Installing voipmonitor GUI
cd /var/www/html rm -f index.html wget "http://www.voipmonitor.org/download-gui?version=latest&major=5&phpver=73&festry" -O w.tar.gz tar xzf w.tar.gz mv voipmonitor-gui*/* ./
Finalizing steps
For working alerts / reports, system needs to run periodicaly script using scheduller
echo " * * * * * root php /var/www/html/php/run.php cron" >> /etc/crontab kill -HUP `pgrep cron`
mkdir /var/spool/voipmonitor/
Set privileges for apache chown -R www-data /var/www/html
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart chown www-data /var/spool/voipmonitor/
set service to be started at a boot time
systemctl enable voipmonitor #edit /etc/voipmonitor.conf (at least mysql options and maxpoolsize option) /etc/init.d/voipmonitor start
Binaries downloaded with first access of the GUI (voluntary)
You can speedup the installation process by downloading and installing binaries the GUI needs with following steps for 64bits only.
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/voipmonitor/files/wkhtml/phantomjs-2.1.1-x86_64.gz/download -O '/var/www/html/bin/phantomjs-2.1.1-x86_64.gz' gunzip '/var/www/html/bin/phantomjs-2.1.1-x86_64.gz' chmod +x '/var/www/html/bin/phantomjs-2.1.1-x86_64' wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/voipmonitor/files/wkhtml/sox-x86_64.gz/download -O '/var/www/html/bin/sox-x86_64.gz' gunzip '/var/www/html/bin/sox-x86_64.gz' chmod +x '/var/www/html/bin/sox-x86_64' wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/voipmonitor/files/wkhtml/tshark-2.3.0.3-x86_64.gz/download -O '/var/www/html/bin/tshark-2.3.0.3-x86_64.gz' gunzip '/var/www/html/bin/tshark-2.3.0.3-x86_64.gz' chmod +x '/var/www/html/bin/tshark-2.3.0.3-x86_64' wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/voipmonitor/files/wkhtml/mergecap-2.3.0.3-x86_64.gz/download -O '/var/www/html/bin/mergecap-2.3.0.3-x86_64.gz' gunzip '/var/www/html/bin/mergecap-2.3.0.3-x86_64.gz' chmod +x '/var/www/html/bin/mergecap-2.3.0.3-x86_64' wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/voipmonitor/files/wkhtml/t38_decode-2-i686.gz/download -O '/var/www/html/bin/t38_decode-2-i686.gz' gunzip '/var/www/html/bin/t38_decode-2-i686.gz' chmod +x '/var/www/html/bin/t38_decode-2-i686'
Building service's binary file from sources (voluntary)
Following describes how to build and install custom voipmonitor binary from sources (tested with sources from 28.8)
First install necesary develop packages
apt-get -y install git build-essential unixodbc-dev libvorbis-dev libpcap-dev libsnappy-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libicu-dev libjson-c-dev libssh-dev librrd-dev libglib2.0-dev libxml2-dev libfftw3-dev liblzma-dev liblzo2-dev libpng-dev libgcrypt-dev libgoogle-perftools-dev libmariadb-dev libmariadb-dev-compat
