ubuntu 14.10
Ubuntu 14.10 is released today. We download and install it in our lab and make some test with miniSIPServer V17 (for linux).
It is no problem to run miniSIPServer on the latest Ubuntu system. Please enjoy it!
miniSIPServer can run on Ubuntu/Kubuntu 14.04
Today we download the latest Ubuntu 14.04 and install it in our lab to make some test. It is no problem to run miniSIPServer on this system. And it seem V14.04 is better than its previous version.
So if you are interesting in Linux or Ubuntu, you can try this version.
Happy new year! 64 bits miniSIPServer!
Today we upgrade miniSIPServer V14 to support 64 bits Debian and Ubuntu. That’s a great news for some of our customers.
As we know, in some networks, customers have deployed 64 bits Debian or Ubuntu servers. So when we want to install previous 32 bits miniSIPServer in their servers, it is required to install some additional 32 bits libraries. Of course, it is no problem to do that, but some customers often think it could be unstable for their servers.
So we decide to migrate MSS to 64 bits to fit this requirement. Now it is unnecessary to care about 32 bits problem.
For customers who are using 64 bits Windows, it is unnecessary to care about 32 bits problem. Windows can process them in perfect way, so please keep current versions.
miniSIPServer & Ubuntu/Kubuntu 13.10
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.
How to run miniSIPServer on Ubuntu?
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:
miniSIPServer for Debian 7
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.
Kubuntu/Ubuntu 13.04 released
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.
miniSipServer for ubuntu 12.10
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.
New 500 clients version and MSS for linux
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.
The most easy-to-use IP-PBX for Ubuntu/Linux
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:

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.
