Initial System Setup
You MUST run all of these commands as the root user!
You MUST disable selinux. selinux can cause strange behavior during the install
Disable selinux
In /etc/sysconfig/selinux , change the following lines:
--- begin lines ---
SELINUX=disabled
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
--- end lines ---
reboot, and verify the selinux status by running 'sestatus'. It should say:
SELinux status: disabled

IPTables
Keeping IPTables turned off indefinitely is strongly discouraged. You will incur the wrath of high fees and hackers
You must disable the default iptables. You can re-enable it later, once you have made the appropriate changes. Information on iptables can be
found with a quick Google search. If iptables is left running, it will (at very least) block you from accessing the web interface.
See the current status:
chkconfig iptables --list
Disable iptables:
chkconfig --level 0123456 iptables off
Stop the service (this skips rebooting again):
service iptables stop
Auto Start MySQL
You must have mysql running for freepbx to operate normally. You need to set it to start at boot time. with the following command:
chkconfig --level 345 mysqld on
Then start mysqld if you don't plan on rebooting during the installation phase:
service mysqld start
Auto Start Apache
You will want Apache running, so you can access the FreePBX admin interface, You need to set it to start at boot time. with the following
command:
chkconfig --level 345 httpd on
Then start apache if you don't plan on rebooting during the installation phase:
service httpd start
Install PearDB
pear install db-1.7.14
You may receive a warning:
WARNING: "pear/DB" is deprecated in favor of "pear/MDB2"
At this time it is safe to ignore that message
Reboot server

Compile and install DAHDI.
If you have no TDM cards you can skip this step
If you encounter this message: You do not appear to have the sources for the 2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64 kernel installed.
Run this command:
yum install -y kernel-headers-`uname -r` kernel-devel-`uname -r`
glibc-headers
If that doesn't fix the problem, you may have removed the directory /usr/src/kernels . It's easy to fix. Just run these two commands:
yum remove kernel-devel
yum install kernel-devel
You can now repeat the installation steps below.
cd /usr/src
tar xvfz dahdi-linux-complete-current.tar.gz
cd dahdi-linux-complete-*

During the make menuselect, please choose all options you wish to compile into Asterisk.
For example, if you want to enable srtp, be sure to enable it at:
Resource Modules -> res_srtp

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

mysql -u root -e "flush privileges;"
Restart Asterisk and install FreePBX.
cd /usr/src/freepbx
./start_asterisk start
./install_amp
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
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.
