I have filed an issue that is getting no attention, so I would like to use the suggested change on my FreePBX boxes but, when I do that, I get that red warning on the dashboard about tampered files.
Is there a way to bypass that tampered module warning?
I am guessing it isn’t going anywhere because that is some edge usage that doesn’t have a broader use case. Mind you there are a lot of folks on this platform so two things matter in general.
- is this something that benefits the majority of the user-base
- is there a bu$iness case that makes money.
if the answer to one or both is yes then it will likely get in.
I would honestly just write your own script that emulates it so you don’t see the error and it isn’t nuked by updates. Use your favorite language it doesn’t have to be PHP. I saw on the ticket you aren’t a PHP guy. Copy the file in to your favorite ai and say replicate this functionality in FOO language, Tweak to your liking and debug the hallucinations and poof good to go.
Ok this is probably criminal… PHP → Applesoft BASIC via AI

It may be an edge case, but personally I don’t like the idea of not being able to start/stop Asterisk independently of FreePBX. I always used Asterisk packages from Debian in my installations, even on the past, when FreePBX was CentOS biased. If the goal of Sangoma is, somewhere in the future, to supply FreePBX (the open-source core) as an official Debian package it would need to decouple Asterisk start/stop from FreePBX start/stop.
Regarding using AI to generate code that suit my needs, I could do that, but I’m not comfortable in doing this on a language that I don’t master. AI tools are wonderful, but, in the current stage, I found that you need to have some critical assessment on they’re results to find the mistakes and hallucinations that I currently find when I use it in languages/frameworks that I master.
I also think that there should be an easy way to disable the tampering detection code for a specific module (and/or file). I think this should be a common scenario for a developer that wants to test some change in a specific module without being annoyed with that warnings, that are pointless in that case.
I absolutely do not recommend it but this will put you on the right track
https://www.voip-info.org/forum/resources/removing-freepbx-12-module-signature-checking.47/
tl;dr he patches the GPG class… I haven’t looked at the changes but he has a “gui-fix” command that to do it. When you update framework your changes will be nuked. So ultimately you will want something to apply a patch everytime a changed module updates…
Alternative, pehaps better alternative to nuking signature checks is modify and self sign. Either way you have to patch every update. BUT if anything you haven’t done custom is modified you are still alerted.
Thank you for the pointers… I will take a look.
Note before you manually strart asterisk you want to run fwconsole start --pre then start asterisk fwconsole start --post this makes sure node services etc are running. Same flow with stop
Add ExecStartPre/ExecStartPost ExecStopPre/ExecStopPost
Currently I have the Asterisk service that starts on boot before the FreeePBX service and it works just fine.
