The resources taken up by apache or the mysql are as good as non existant (especially as it will be idling most of the time), as long as you don't do big queries (e.g. a search for a certain CDR). And if you do big queries it doesn't matter if there is 1 call or 100 calls going on. (they will aaaall gooo doooown toooogether....:-).

(Of course, if asterisk is already taking up 90% of your resources, the query could be a little smaller and still cause problems).

The only reasons you don't want to run it on the same server is
1) avoid extra security risks (easily bypassed by some good firewall rules)
2) avoid all disk activity - easily done by running mysql on a different server and leaving the apache (that will probably start or stop asterisk, or alter config files) on the same server as asterisk.

If you want to restart your asterisk server through a webinterface, it doesn't matter if its some standalone daemon doing it, or apache doing it, the result will be the same. (and the resources to do so will approximately be the same).

If only your dialplan is in the mysql, and its dumped to config files on disk (as most gui's seem to do it), impact is very minimal. (unless you have thousands of extensions or thousands of users).

Yes, apache might crash and might take up all resources. (But how often did you see that happen on a server with a configuration tool that is used once, and then left alone most of the time ?)

Running a configuration tool on X on the same server is a different story of course.

The only thing to answer for yourself is, how much resources (i/o / cpu) is this apache + mysql going to use ?

Instead of looking at apache, i'd start by looking at more important issues (more often forgot and with much bigger consequences) such as cron and ntpdate or updatedb, or mail / ftp servers on the same machine

The gui is the least of your worries..

For 100 calls, you’ve normally got plenty of system capacity to run mysql and apache, for example, on the call processing server.

When maximum throughput is the objective, move everything but call processing onto another server.

The simple answer is that the less you run on the box the better, but if you do need web based configuration, you would have to run something – web server or Webmin, or whatever else that gives you web access. Some tools require a web server AND a database server, or a separate database server, etc.

You could potentially install PBX Manager on a “non production” box, configure what you need and then move the configuration files, but you will loose some functionality this way.

I have shied away from Thirdlane becuause I recall that some Asterisk gurus have stated that it is *NOT* a good idea to run webmin on the same server as production Asterisk.

Any truth to that claim?

Please take a look at Asterisk PBX Manager - our Webmin based GUI for
Asterisk.

It is very easy to install, it comes with useful scripts/features, it does
not require any databases, etc and it allows plenty of flexibility in the
way Asterisk can be configured.

We are currently beta testing a multi tenant version - anyone interested in
helping with beta testing?

We are also planning to release a limited (by a number of phones and
mailboxes) free version for home/personal use - probably next week.

PBX Manager costs $295 for an unlimited number of phones/mailboxes. Starting in February we will be moving to a tiered pricing, so if you are considering
buying PBX Manager and have more than 25 phones/mailboxes, now is the time
:-).

You can find more information on our website http://www.thirdlane.com and
see a live demo at https://thirdlane.amer.net:10000 (user demo password
insecure). Some of the PBX Manager features are disabled for the demo user
(using Webmin access control). The demo user is not allowed to perform any
"admin" level functionality - like restarting * or executing * commands,
uploading or downloading configuration files, accessing files directly, or
changing GUI theme or language - you should just imagine those features are
available :-).
