Opensips and Asterisk Integeration, Opensips as Load Balancer and Registerar and Asterisk as Media server

The scope of current project is to setup Opensips and Asterisk setup with Opensips role as Registrar as well as Load balancer b/t two asterisk servers . The asterisk servers role will be as Media servers only . It is required that all registrations requests need to be forwarded to opensips server and stored at MYSQL database and all call related Initial SIP request need to redirected to asterisk servers for further call handling operations .

We used following open source software applications

opensips : OpenSIPS Verision 2.3.2
CentOS : CentOS 6.9
asterisk : Asterisk 11.21
opensips-cp ver : OpenSIPS-CP Version 7.2.3 (compatible with OpenSIPS Server 2.3.x)

Installation Setps of Opensips

Opensips installation

#save it
# now create database with tables
# run this command

opensipsdbctl create

#if facing "ERROR: database engine not loaded - tried 'MYSQL'" error then fisrt install db_mysql pakcge then try again

yum install opensips-db_mysql
opensipsdbctl create

# restart opensips

service opensips restart

Opensips-Control-Panel installation

------------------------------------

# install required packages for web
yum install httpd php php-gd php-mysql php-xmlrpc php-pear mysql mysql-server php-mysql

# Download Opensips-cp
# first check opensips version and then download opensips-cp

# If these are not there plese check if you have installed them correctly.
# Do not forget to set in your php.ini (usaully /etc/php.ini ) :

short_open_tag = On ;

# Install MDB2 pear

pear install MDB2
pear install MDB2#mysql //should you choose to go with the mysql database
pear install log

# Restart Apache

# create database and insert data into database (use already created database)

# install User access and Privileges
# goto opensips folder
cd /var/www/html/opension-dir

# run following commands
mysql -Dopensips -p

# create Admin Privileges
INSERT INTO ocp_admin_privileges (username,password,ha1,available_tools,permissions) values ('admin','admin',md5('admin:admin'),'all','all');

Opensips control panel Configuration Steps

Enable SIP Trace log for GUI / OpenSip control panel

Database layer configuration file
opensips-cp/config/tools/system/siptrace/db.inc.php

Attributes set in thi file:
//database host
//$config->db_host_siptrace = "localhost";

//database port - leave empty for default
//$config->db_port_siptrace = "";

//database connection user
//$config->db_user_siptrace = "root-user";

//database connection password
//$config->db_pass_siptrace = "root-user-password";

Local configuration file
opensips-cp/config/tools/system/siptrace/local.inc.php

Attributes set in this file :

$config->table_trace
the database table name for storing the siptrace data

$config->results_per_page and $config->results_page_range
control over the pagination when displaying the siptrace records

$talk_to_this_assoc_id
As OCP can manage multiple OpenSIPS instances, this is the association ID pointing to the group of servers (system) which needs to be provision with this siptrace status (on or off).

$proxy_list
an array of SIP interfaces (protocol, IP address and port) to be recognized as belonging to your OpenSIPS servers - you must provide at least one entry. This iss very important to be correctly provision, otherwise the tool will not be able to properly graph the SIP flow (as it will not know which entity in the flow is your OpenSIPS).

Opensips control panel modules exists in "/var/www/html/config/tools/system", please change module database configuration file according to our database information

Opensip module installation

Please load module and add module`s parameter in opensip.conf file and restart opensip service. First make sure module installed on your server, if module not installed. Please install it via yum command

All Module exist in following folder (if you are using CentOS 6.x 64 bits)
ls -l /usr/lib64/opensips/modules/*

yum install opensips-db_mysql

loadmodule "db_mysql.so"

#### Registrar module
loadmodule "registrar.so"
