## Configuring Asterisk CDR  to update into database with MySQL via Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)
## Resources:
## Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Asterisk 20.6.0
## Last update: 2024.08.21

##At once to install:
apt install mysql-server php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-curl php-gd php-json php-zip  apache2 phpmyadmin asterisk-mysql 
# Response 'No' for asterisk files replacement during these installation, this will preserve your current asterisk configurations.

#Loging to web: 
http://ip/phpmyadmin
#Username: phpmyadmin
#password: As set during installation of phpmyadmin


#Login to mysql console:
mysql -u root -p
#Login without password or with password if set


#Create a database for CDR:
#sql:
	CREATE DATABASE asteriskcdrdb;

#Create a MySQL user and grant privileges:
#sql:
	CREATE USER 'asteriskuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '7AEmMN76dADwn2#UqyY3';
	GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON asteriskcdrdb.* TO 'asteriskuser'@'localhost';
	GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON asteriskcdrdb.* TO 'phpmyadmin'@'localhost';
	FLUSH PRIVILEGES;


#Switch to the new database:
#sql:
	USE asteriskcdrdb;

#Create the cdr table:
#Ref: https://docs.asterisk.org/Configuration/Reporting/Call-Detail-Records-CDR/CDR-Specification/#fields
#sql:
	CREATE TABLE cdr ( 
			calldate datetime NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
			clid varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', 
			src varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', 
			dst varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', 
			dcontext varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', 
			channel varchar(80) NOT NULL default ste'', 
			dstchannel varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', 
			lastapp varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', 
			lastdata varchar(80) NOT NULL default '', 
			duration int(11) NOT NULL default '0', 
			billsec int(11) NOT NULL default '0', 
			disposition varchar(45) NOT NULL default '', 
			amaflags int(11) NOT NULL default '0', 
			accountcode varchar(20) NOT NULL default '', 
			uniqueid varchar(32) NOT NULL default '', 
			userfield varchar(255) NOT NULL default '' 
	);

#Exit MySQL:
#sql:
	quit;

#apt install will check the dependencies of the MySQL packages.  Even if the core files were installed by dpkg -i, there might be other libraries or configuration steps required.  apt will automatically install those missing pieces.

apt update
apt install mysql-community-client-plugins
apt install  mysql-connector-odbc
