Next, I like to have the server let me know when it has patches to install or other notifications, so I use the built-in Postfix mail server for that.

I am not sure if it costs anything, but it seems like it does, so I still download firmware and configs to phones the way I did when I set this up a few years ago. Nowadays (I was raised in Missouri) FreeBPX has an endpoint (phone) manager but I am either too cheap or lazy.

Then, I want to use the FTP server to update phone configs, so I will need to add an FTP user name and password. First, I want to be able to find this server by hostname.

There is stuff all over the Internet on how to do what I am about to describe. If you are not a Linux user, this is a good time to start. We use a separate username and password for Asterisk servers from what we have for Windows domain logins.Ī few things I need to do in Linux. Do not choose “root” for the user name in the FreePBX interface when you are setting this up. Local Networks is critical, especially if you are on more than one subnet. Make sure you go to Asterisk SIP Settings.

Put the IP address in the browser and it will run you through the first time setup stuff. Once installed, log in to the VM console, get the IP address and then use a web browser on another PC or Mac to set up the FreePBX GUI. I do have another old machine running this as a lukewarm spare, but I will get in to that in another post. The old PC doesn’t always boot on a re-start and I don’t like driving in Chicago traffic for an hour to go restart it. I have had some hardware issues – which is why am bothering with this at all. It goes for months without a reboot and I regularly apply the patches that come in. But in close second place is the fact that it is super simple for a generalist like me to setup and just let it run. So while that is installing, the best thing we like about FreePBX is the Free part.

Then I set a password for user ROOT and let ‘er fly.

We can change that to static later in the FreePBX GUI.

Leave the IP addressing on DHCP for now.

Started the VM, Chose Full Install with Asterisk 11 – when in doubt, go with what’s on the top of the list.

iso to the Device Type in “Datastore ISO file.”

Set Boot Option in the VM to CD first, then added the FreePBX CD.

Left the sockets and cores at 1 each, 2GB RAM, set Network interfaces at 1, Everything else was left on the defaults.

This doesn’t matter much, as FreePBX installs to bare-metal

Type was Linux, CentOS 4,5,6 – 64 bit.

After messing around with it for a few hours with various boot disk and kernel panic issues, I figured there must be an issue with that, so just followed these steps: Yes, we will be upgrading that someday, too.įirst I tried to use VMware Standalone Converter to pull the running Linux machine into a VM. Two locations have servers and are currently joined with Dundi. We have about 50 phones in 6 physical locations. We will get around to upgrading all of this as soon as we get caught up (tee hee).Īnyways (writing from Chicago) we figured a VM was better than another old work station. We didn’t have the time or patience to run VMWare vSphere Web Client, so the latest version of virtual machine we run is 8. But I couldn’t find a good tutorial on how to get my FreePBX phone system moved over from an ancient Dell work station to our shiny new server running VMWare 5. I am not a sophisticated technical blogger.
