FreePBX Post Install

Submitted by admin on Wed, 10/14/2009 - 15:03 Ensure services are starting at boot time and reboot In order to access and use freePBX we will want both Apache (httpd) and MySQL (mysqld) to be started at boot. You can check to see if they are setup to start at boot by using chkconfig: chkconfig --list httpd httpd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off chkconfig --list mysqld mysqld 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off Here we see that both httpd and mysqld have off across the board (runlevels). chkconfig can also be used to turn on a particular service, which you would want to do in this case. chkconfig httpd on chkconfig mysqld on You can now access freePBX with your web browser. Edit Apache web server for GUI access using a port other than 80 (optional): nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf change "Listen 80" to "Listen 8888" or whatever port you want /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart Instead of accessing FreePBX by http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx You now access it by http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8888 Edit Flash Operator panel so that it is accessible from outside the LAN by leaving the "web_hostname" blank. Note: Port 4445 must be forwarded to the asterisk server on the Firewall/Router. nano 34 /!ar/"""/html/panel/op#ser!er.cfg "e$#hostname% (Ctrl-X>y>ENTER) The current default settings in FreePBX after a fresh install is no username/password required to access the GUI.
