The latest Ubuntu/Kubuntu V13.10 is released. We download and install it immediately in our lab. It is no problem to run miniSIPServer on these systems. But according to our experience and test result, we dont suggest customers to upgrade systems to V13.10 because it is not stable enough for business deployment now.
So if you are running miniSIPServer on Ubuntu/Kubuntu, it is better to keep your current versions and wait for next LTS version V14.04.
Updated: Now you can visit online document for more details.
If you are using Ubuntu (desktop), it is very easy to run MSS. Just download .deb file from our website and double click such .deb file to install it. Then you can find MSS icon in ‘internet’ or ‘network’ menu group and run it to start MSS.
If you are using Ubuntu (server), something is different. You need do more steps to install and run MSS. We describe details below.
First, you must download .deb file from our website, for example ‘mss_v13_u20.deb’. Then, you can run following command:
sudo dpkg -i mss_v13_u20.deb
At this step, Ubuntu will prompt error that some dependencies must be installed. Don’t warry, please continue following command:
sudo apt-get -f install
Then Ubuntu will try to get and install all necessary dependencies from Ubuntu software center.
In Ubuntu server, you cannot run MSS GUI since X windows is not started. You can run MSS CLI version whose file name is ‘msscli’ and can be found in directory ‘/opt/sipserver’.
So it is very easy to start MSS now:
/opt/sipserver/msscli
To visit and manage MSS system, you need visit its web system whose TCP port is 8080 by default. Please refer to following document:
We update and rebuild miniSIPServer V13.2 to fit Debian 7 system, now it is no problem to run MSS on Debian 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 systems with same DEB packages.
If you are Debian 6 users, it is time to upgrade to Debian 7 now and hope you can enjoy our products.
Yesterday, new Kubuntu and Ubuntu 13.04 were released. We download all these versions and try to run miniSIPServer V13.2.
Everything is perfect, it is no problem to run MSS on the latest Kubuntu and Ubuntu 13.04.
Since MSS is built with Qt library, we suggest it is better to deploy Kubuntu. In our lab, Ubuntu is so slow and Kubuntu is much better.
Yesterday we got and installed latest Xubuntu/Kubuntu/Ubuntu 12.10, then we installed latest miniSipServer V10.5 on these platforms.
The result is perfect! It is no problem to run MSS without any modification.
In another way, we would like to suggest Xubuntu and Kubuntu. According to our test result, Ubuntu system is very slow, however Xubuntu and Kubuntu are perfect.
According to our customers’ requirement, we add a new product, 500 clients MSS, to our list. This version can support 500 extensions.
At the same time, we remove 1000 clients product from our public list which means you can still ask this product by sending mail to us. 1000 clients version is quite different with other versions, and it requires more help and support when customers try to deploy it, so we think it is not suitable for small business or SOHO business.
In another way, since Ubuntu LTS has been upgraded to 12.04 version, we upgrade all our work and test environments together, so MSS for linux version is upgraded to fit Ubuntu 12.04. We will not support other Ubuntu versions or linux distributions.
If you have tried miniSipServer on Windows platform, you can find it is so easy to configure or manage a IP-PBX because miniSipServer provides a perfect GUI interface.
You can find it is very easy to do that on Ubuntu/Linux because miniSipServer can support GUI interface on Ubuntu/Linux now! WINE is unnecessary now!
Please visit our download page to download miniSipServer .deb packages according to your requirements:
http://www.myvoipapp.com/download
After you download .deb file from our website, please click (or double-click) it to install MSS. No more actions! So easy, so funny.
After you finish your install, you will find miniSipServer at “Applications / Internet” group.
Following figure is a screenshot of MSS running on Kubuntu:
In another way, if you just want to run a command line sip server, you can also go to directory “/opt/sipserver” and find “msscli” which is a command-line miniSipServer and has the same core with GUI-miniSipServer. You can manage and configure it through web interface.

======================================
Since miniSipServer V4.0 is released, it is very easy to deploy VOIP server on Ubuntu now.
The difference between MSS V4.0 (windows) and MSS V4.0 (Linux) is that MSS (linux) doesn’t provide GUI management. It only provide web management. It is still very easy to setup and manage the VOIP network.
First, please download xxx.tar.gz file from our website. In following section, we give example on how to use miniSipServer V4.0 (20 client) :
http://www.myvoipapp.com/download
It is a zip package file, once you have download it, please use following command to unzip it.
tar zxvf mss_v4_u20_i386.tar.gz
After that, you can find a “install.sh” file in the directory. Please run it to install MSS. During the process, some 3rd parties software, such as libmysqlclient, will be installed automatically from Ubuntu software center.
sh install.sh
Then, you can run miniSipServer now:
sudo msscli
When the MSS is running, you can find following information in the command window:
HTTP server is running at port 8080
It means MSS has started HTTP server at TCP port 8080, you can visit it now to manage your SIP server by using firefox, chrome, IE,etc. For example, you can open local firefox and type following address to visit it:
http://localhost:8080
We have to mention here the default administrator password is blank. So once you login into the web management, the first thing you need do is to set administrator password. Please click “basic configuration / system configuration” to do that.
So easy, right? If you have any questions, please fell free to contact us. We hope you can enjoy it!
LTS version is upgraded to V2.10.4 to fix a bug in SIP register process. This bug is also fixed in V3.x (stable) and V4.0 versions.
Stable version is upgraded to V3.1 to include more features, such as web server, and fix bugs.
The most important thing is that V4.0 is released now! V4.0 is a cross-platform SIP server which can run on Windows and Linux (such as Ubuntu, etc)! We will give mode instruction on V4.0 in blog.
Please refer to following blog on how to run miniSipServer on Ubuntu?
