You may always provision an EC2 instance with one of the supported operating systems and then use the Command Line Installer to install VoipNow. Check AWS Amazon Market ( https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/ ) place for the latest CentOS 7 EC2.

Requirements

In order to use VoipNow in Amazon Cloud, you need to have an account at http://aws.amazon.com.

Currently, we only have instances in EU Ireland and US North Virginia.

Once the account is created, go to http://console.aws.amazon.com/ and select the EC2 section.

Installation steps

Click Launch Instance. In the Community AMIs page, type the corresponding AMI ID, based on the Region where you want to store your instance.

RegionAMI ID
N. Virginiaami-fafa0697
Irelandami-276dfe54

Here is an example for Ireland.

Select the instance type as t2.large and click on Next: Configure Instance Details.

Unless you're using a VPC, leave the instance in the EC2-Classic network, then click Next: Add Storage

By default, AMI has 30GB. If you need more storage, you can add another volume or increase the existing one.

Click through the Tag Instance page. Once you've reached the Configure Security Group page, ensure that you have the same settings as displayed below.

If everything is OK, press Review and Launch.

In the new page, select Create a new key pair and define a Key pair name. Then download it and click on Launch Instances.

Note

You can Choose an existing key pair if you have already defined one.

The instance should boot and, once it is running, you should be able to access it.

We don't set any default passwords. So, to log in to the web interface, you must set a password via SSH.

To log in using SSH, run the following command:

Shell

ssh <serverip> -i <privatekey.pem> -l 4psa

To gain root privileges, run the following command:
Shell

sudo su -

To set an admin password, run the following command while being root:
Shell

/usr/local/voipnow/bin/chadminpass.sh

Finally, you can access the web interface:

https://<serverip>

Username : admin

Password : <what you set earlier>
