Configure Asterisk database in MYSQL.

export ASTERISK_DB_PW=amp109 
mysqladmin -u root create asterisk -p
mysqladmin -u root create asteriskcdrdb -p
mysql -u root asterisk -p < SQL/newinstall.sql 
mysql -u root asteriskcdrdb -p < SQL/cdr_mysql_table.sql

Set permissions on MYSQL database.

mysql -u root -p -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON asterisk.* TO asteriskuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '${ASTERISK_DB_PW}';"
mysql -u root -p -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON asteriskcdrdb.* TO asteriskuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '${ASTERISK_DB_PW}';"
mysql -u root -p -e "flush privileges;"

Restart Asterisk and install FreePBX.

./start_asterisk start
./install_amp --webroot /var/www
amportal a ma installall
amportal a reload

** If “. /install_amp” fails to run correctly, in terminal type:

./install_amp --username=asteriskuser --password=$ASTERISK_DB_PW --webroot /var/www

Finally, one last mod and start FreePBX.

ln -s /var/lib/asterisk/moh /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3
amportal start

Start FreePBX

Navigate:

http://yourlocalipaddress/html or if you prefer http://localhost/admin

After you enable and update the modules in FreePBX You might see the following error.
Symlink from modules failed

To correct this error do the following:

Delete the list of failed files

cd /etc/asterisk
rm ccss.conf confbridge.conf features.conf sip.conf iax.conf logger.conf extensions.conf sip_notify.conf

Then on the FreePBX webUI go to the ‘Module Admin’ and uninstall and reinstall the ‘Camp On’ module. This should resolve the Symlink issue.
