Which versions of Apache/php and mysql did you use?
On my test machine:
httpd-2.0.54-10.3
php-5.0.4-10.5
mysql 5.0.18
What is your general impression of cdrtool, compared to the other billing
systems around?
I wouldn't call it a billing system. As a rating system I have nothing to
compare it to but there are a number of features that it lacks:
- multi-tenant: there are many cases where you can't have different rules
for different customers. For example there is only one default country code.
You can't have a 60 second flagfall for one customer and a 5 minute
flagfall for another, for example.
- customer groups: there's no ability to group rating information. For
example you might have three customers on one billing basis (e.g. $0.02 per
minute to U.K) and four on another (e.g. $0.01 per minute to U.K.). You can
only store rates at gateway, domain or individual level. The assumption
seems to be that these groups of customers would be different domains but
that isn't necessarily the case.
I went with it because the others I looked at didn't seem to do both SER and
Asterisk easily and for me that was a requirement.
When I say it doesn't do something it means I haven't found a way to do it.
I don't claim to give a definitive answer.
