Now create the Asterisk user and set ownership permissions.

adduser asterisk --disabled-password --gecos "Asterisk User" chown asterisk. /var/run/asterisk chown -R asterisk. /etc/asterisk chown -R asterisk. /var/{lib,log,spool}/asterisk chown -R asterisk. /usr/lib/asterisk mkdir /var/www/html chown -R asterisk. /var/www/

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

Configure Asterisk database in MYSQL. 

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

Set permissions on MYSQL database.

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.

./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 got to the ‘Module Admin’ and uninstall and reinstall the ‘Camp On’ module. This should resolve the Symlink issue.
