Debian Install

Debian

Debian 5.x Lenny

The easy way: download the Ubuntu Lucid Easy Ubuntu installation script. The script is generically written for Debian based distro's and may work on others.

Notes

• Select the Base Install option [on the debian install iso]. All other packages will be added.
• When you get the warning about it not being Lucid, go ahead and continue.
• nginx and php5-fpm options do not work (since the script uses ppa's). Select Apache instead.
• Dahdi isn't included in the official repositories.

Debian 6 Squeeze

The above script mostly works, but there are a couple of issues. This is here to remind soapee01 (thanks to cbillen for testing) what modifications need to be made to the script so it will work with squeeze.

Notes

• modify so we don't use PPA, and instead:

echo "deb http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all">>/etc/apt/sources.list
wget http://www.dotdeb.org/dotdeb.gpgcat dotdeb.gpg | sudo apt-key add - 
rm dotdeb.gpg
apt-get update

• the php5-fpm.conf file in the dotdeb archive is php-fpm.conf
• /etc/lsb_release not present, run lsb_release -d instead
• find a backport somewhere for postgres9
