While the C written transfer utility works +with both SQLite and PostgreSQL databases, the PHP frontend is limited +to PostgreSQL. This will probably change in future versions.</p> + +<h2><a name="documentation">Documentation</a></h2> + +<h3>Mode of Operation</h3> + +<p>After installation you should create the database for +<tt>pgets</tt>. For PostgreSQL this involves executing the SQL +commands contained in the file <tt>sql/pgets-access.sql</tt> by piping +them to <tt>psql</tt>:</p> + +<pre>psql template1 postgres < sql/pgets-access.sql</pre> + +<p>You probably want to edit <tt>pgets-access.sql</tt> before piping +it to <tt>psql</tt> for using different passwords. For SQLite this is +much simpler as it doesn't involve any access rights:</p> + +<pre>sqlite pgets.sqlite < sql/pgets.sql</pre> + +<p>After that you should create a cronjob for either <tt>pgets-postgres</tt> or <tt>pgets-sqlite</tt>:</p> + +<pre>@daily pgets-postgres -q -b "dbname=pgets user=foo password=bar"</pre> + +<p>or:</p> + +<pre>@daily pgets-sqlite -q -b foo.sqlite</pre> + +<p>This makes sure that the <tt>pgets</tt> database is updated once a +day with all new call accounting data stored in the PBX. <i>(This +<tt>cron</tt> syntax is for a user cronjob, not a system wide one)</i> +The option <tt>-q</tt> disables verbose printing of the current status +of <tt>pgets</tt>. With <tt>-b</tt> you may pass the database access +information to <tt>pgets</tt>, this is either a PostgreSQL compatible +connection string or a SQLite file name. Use <tt>-d</tt> to use a +different serial port than <tt>/dev/ttyS0</tt>.</p> + +<p>To use the PHP frontend copy <tt>php/pgets.php</tt>, +<tt>php/style.css</tt> and <tt>php/pgets-intro.html</tt> into your web +tree and activate PHP for it. Don't forget to enable the PostgreSQL +module in <tt>php.ini</tt>. You may need to edit the top of +<tt>pgets.php</tt> for the correct database access credentials.</p> +<h2><a name="requirements">Requirements</a></h2> + +<p>A current Linux distribution on a machine with a serial port +connected to the PBX. The RS2 port of PBX has to be in +"Gesprächsdatenerfassung" mode. You may enable this mode by calling +<tt>811118303</tt>.<p> + +<p><tt>pgets</tt> was developed and tested on Debian GNU/Linux +"testing" from March 2004, it should work on most other Linux +distributions since it uses GNU autoconf for source code +configuration.</p> + +<p><tt>pgets</tt> requires the PostgreSQL and/or SQLite development +library files for compilation.<p> + +<h2><a name="installation">Installation</a></h2> + +<p>As this package is made with the GNU autotools you should run +<tt>./configure</tt> inside the distribution directory for configuring +the source tree. After that you should run <tt>make</tt> for +compilation and <tt>make install</tt> (as root) for installation of +<tt>pgets</tt>.</p> + +<p>By default the build system creates two +executables. <tt>pgets-postgres</tt> with support for PostgreSQL +databases and <tt>pgets-sqlite</tt> with support for SQLite.
