amportal commands

This page refers to systems running PBX version 12 and earlier, which are now end of life. Please see this this page for current systems: fwconsole commands (13+), and additionally this page for FreePBX 15+ fwconsole commands (15+)

 

"amportal" is the Linux command that controls FreePBX from the Linux command prompt.  

To access the command prompt, log-in to the machine where you installed FreePBX/Asterisk using your "root" username and password.  You can do so by accessing the keyboard of the machine where you installed FreePBX, or remotely using an SSH client such as Putty.

Then type one of the following "amportal" commands:

 

Restart

amportal restart- This is how FreePBX starts asterisk and any other processes it need.  You should always start and restart asterisk with the amportal command not the service asterisk or /etc/init.d/asterisk commands
