Installing FreePBX 12 on Ubuntu Server 14.10
Created by Rob Thomas, last modified by Tom Ray on 06 Jul , 2016
Initial System Setup
When installing the machine, at package selection make sure you pick - at least - OpenSSH Server, and LAMP Server. You may install others, if wanted.
...
Configure your root password.
| Code Block |
|---|
sudo passwd root |
|
Switch to the Root User
Update Your System
| Code Block |
|---|
apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y |
|
Install Required Dependencies
| Code Block |
|---|
apt-get install -y build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` openssh-server apache2 mysql-server\
mysql-client bison flex php5 php5-curl php5-cli php5-mysql php-pear php-db php5-gd curl sox\
libncurses5-dev libssl-dev libmysqlclient-dev mpg123 libxml2-dev libnewt-dev sqlite3\

Reboot server
This is to ensure you're running the kernel version that you're going to be building your kernel modules against. You may skip this step if you're sure your running kernel is the latest.
Install PearDB
| Code Block |
|---|
pear uninstall db
pear install db-1.7.14 |
|
Install and Configure Asterisk
Download Asterisk source files.
| Code Block |
|---|
cd /usr/src
wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/dahdi-linux-complete/dahdi-linux-complete-current.tar.gz
wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/libpri/libpri-current.tar.gz
wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/asterisk-13-current.tar.gz
git clone https://github.com/akheron/jansson.git
wget http://www.pjsip.org/release/2.2.1/pjproject-2.2.1.tar.bz2 |
|
Compile and install DAHDI and LibPRI
| Note |
|---|
If you don't have any physical hardware you don't need to run these commands, however, it is still suggested to compile the modules, to allow you to add hardware later. |
| Code Block |
|---|
cd /usr/src
tar xvfz dahdi-linux-complete-current.tar.gz
tar xvfz libpri-current.tar.gz
rm -f dahdi-linux-complete-current.tar.gz libpri-current.tar.gz
cd dahdi-linux-complete-*
make all
make install
make config
cd /usr/src/libpri-*
make
make install |
|
Compile and install pjproject
| Code Block |
|---|
cd /usr/src
tar -xjvf pjproject-2.2.1.tar.bz2
cd pjproject-2.2.1
CFLAGS='-DPJ_HAS_IPV6=1' ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --disable-sound\
--disable-resample --disable-video --disable-opencore-amr
make dep
make
make install |
|
Compile and Install jansson
| Code Block |
|---|
cd /usr/src/jansson
autoreconf -i
./configure
make
make install |
|
Compile and install Asterisk
| Code Block |
|---|
cd /usr/src
tar xvfz asterisk-13-current.tar.gz
rm -f asterisk-13-current.tar.gz
cd asterisk-*
./configure
contrib/scripts/get_mp3_source.sh
make menuselect |
|
You will be prompted at the point to pick which modules to build. Most of them will be enabled, but if you want to have MP3 support, you need to manually turn on 'format_mp3' on the first page.
...
After selecting 'Save & Exit' you can then continue
| Code Block |
|---|
make
make install
make config
ldconfig |
|
Note that this installs the (8khz) 'wav' soundfiles and G722 (High Definition 'Wideband') audio.
| Code Block |
|---|
mkdir -p /var/lib/asterisk/sounds
cd /var/lib/asterisk/sounds
wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/sounds/asterisk-extra-sounds-en-wav-current.tar.gz
tar xfz asterisk-extra-sounds-en-wav-current.tar.gz
rm -f asterisk-extra-sounds-en-wav-current.tar.gz
# Wideband Audio download
wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/sounds/asterisk-extra-sounds-en-g722-current.tar.gz
tar xfz asterisk-extra-sounds-en-g722-current.tar.gz
rm -f asterisk-extra-sounds-en-g722-current.tar.gz |
|
Install and Configure FreePBX
Download and extract FreePBX.
| Code Block |
|---|
wget http://mirror.freepbx.org/modules/packages/freepbx/freepbx-12.0-latest.tgz
tar vxfz freepbx-12-latest.tgz |
|
Now create the Asterisk user and set ownership permissions.
| Code Block |
|---|
useradd -m asterisk
chown asterisk. /var/run/asterisk
chown -R asterisk. /etc/asterisk
chown -R asterisk. /var/{lib,log,spool}/asterisk
chown -R asterisk. /usr/lib/asterisk
rm -rf /var/www/html |
|
A few small modifications to Apache.
| Code Block |
|---|
sed -i 's/\(^upload_max_filesize = \).*/\120M/' /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
cp /etc/apache2/apache2.conf /etc/apache2/apache2.conf_orig
sed -i 's/^\(User\|Group\).*/\1 asterisk/' /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
service apache2 restart |
|
Prepare MySQL
You now need to generate a secure password for FreePBX to use to talk to MySQL.
| Code Block |
|---|
export ASTERISK_DB_PW=`dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1 count=32 2>/dev/null | base64 - | cut -c2-18` |
|
That will generate a quasi-random 16 character long password, which should be secure enough for most things. If you had set the MySQL 'root' password to be something when you were installing the machine, you will need to add a -pyourpassword flag to the following lines
Configure Asterisk database in MYSQL.
| Code Block |
|---|
mysqladmin -u root create asterisk
mysqladmin -u root create asteriskcdrdb |
|
Set permissions on MYSQL database.
| Code Block |
|---|
mysql -u root -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON asterisk.* TO asteriskuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '${ASTERISK_DB_PW}';"
mysql -u root -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON asteriskcdrdb.* TO asteriskuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '${ASTERISK_DB_PW}';"
mysql -u root -e "flush privileges;" |
|
Restart Asterisk and install FreePBX.
| Code Block |
|---|
./start_asterisk start
./install_amp --installdb --username=asteriskuser --password=${ASTERISK_DB_PW}
amportal chown
amportal a ma installall
amportal a reload
amportal a ma refreshsignatures
amportal chown |
|
Finally, one last mod and start FreePBX.
| Code Block |
|---|
ln -s /var/lib/asterisk/moh /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3
amportal restart |
|
Start FreePBX

Now FreePBX is installed, it will be available via Apache. Open up your web browser and visit:
