Installing FreePBX 13 on Ubuntu Server 14.04.2 LTS

when you install mysql do not set a root password otherwise you have to

dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5

mysql -u root -p

SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost=PASSWORD('');

exit;

THANK YOU for these instructions.  Also, after downloading the Ubuntu Server 14.04.4 LTS today:

To enable root access via ssh, I had to use:

sed -i 's/PermitRootLogin without-password/PermitRootLogin yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config

For those who are cutting & pasting sections of the scripting above (like I did), be aware that the following command in the "Compile and install Asterisk" section might prompt you for your international dialing code (I think it defaulted to 61, which I changed to 1 for the US).

contrib/scripts/install_prereq install

The side-effect of the prompt for dialing code above is that I had to re-paste the commands-below (no big deal - just FYI):

Excellent instructions, how do we get Asterisk to start automatically after a reboot?  Thanks.

i followed this very clear install instruction and when i log on to my gui i am having lots of issues. It seems no modules were installed during installation and i tried to install them from Module Admin with no luck. Also Freepbx Framework is saying it has been tempered with i have to reinstall and when i try this i dont if my file amportal is wrong somewhere as i did not edited it

amportal a ma upgrade freawork

Hi!

I installed asterisk and freepbx today at my ubuntu server 16.04._x64

Now I have following problem:

Hello, I am trying to install FreePBX on Ubuntu 16.04, but I have had several problems with the version since I use php7 and I think it is not compatible with this version of frepbx

Hi all,
I needed to install and setup Asterisk 13 and FreePBX 13 on Lubuntu 16.04.2 running on ARM based device called "Roseapple Pi".
I actually changed the procedure and thought it might worth to share it with anyone how like to install these versions on Ubuntu.

I have mainly used the steps on this page with modification to run latest software and work on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS.

P.S: Procedure is for ARM devices but is exactly same for x86 or x86_64 architectures.

Please refer to link bellow on Google Plus for further information and get the step through manual.

cd /usr/src
wget http://mirror.freepbx.org/modules/packages/freepbx/freepbx-13.0-latest.tgz
tar vxfz freepbx-13.0-latest.tgz
rm -f freepbx-13.0-latest.tgz
cd freepbx
./start_asterisk start
./install -n

If you are getting the error "Unable to read /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf or it was missing a directories section"
Solution

nano  /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf 

[directories](!) <------ remove the "(!)"

then go to cd /usr/src and run ./install 

./install -n
