ViciBox v.13.1.0 Beta 6 Available for Testing

ViciBox v.13.1.0 Beta 6 is available for testing:

MD5 checksums are listed on the ViciBox Server page, and earlier betas are in the download archive. The current stable release is still ViciBox v.12.0.2.

What changed

  • SELinux Perl helper labels: Perl scripts located in the web root (/srv/www/htdocs/vicidial/*.pl and /srv/www/htdocs/agc/*.pl, including sheet2tab.pl and bp.pl) are now labeled bin_t so that Apache (httpd_t) can execute them with SELinux in enforcing mode. This resolves list loader failures with “Cannot open converted file” and “Permission denied” when loading .xlsx spreadsheet lead files.
  • Login MOTD updated: The message of the day now directs users to configure network settings using the vicibox manager rather than yast lan.

Upgrading from an earlier beta

Servers installed from a v.13.0.0 beta can be upgraded in place. The steps are in Upgrading to ViciBox 13.1.0 in the manual.

On existing Beta 5 systems, the SELinux labeling for Perl helpers can be applied without reinstalling by running:

semanage fcontext -a -t bin_t "/var/www/html/vicidial/.*\.pl"
semanage fcontext -a -t bin_t "/var/www/html/agc/.*\.pl"
restorecon -Rv /srv/www/htdocs/vicidial /srv/www/htdocs/agc

Please report problems and feedback on the VICIdial forum, including whether you used the standard or MD ISO.
