Freepbx 13 and PHP 7.0 / Mariadb on Debian Stretch

heyleggomyeggo · January 7, 2020, 3:30am

I am attempting to install FreePBX 13 with PHP 7.0 on a armv5tel machine running Debian Stretch. I know this is not supported but I cannot use PHP 5.6 unless I use Jessie (which is EOL next June) or compile from source. The surey auxiliary PHP 5.6 repository does not support armel architectures and FreePBX 14 and 15 are not options because node support for armel architectures stopped before version 4.

I have successfully compiled Asterisk 16, have a working mariadb-odbc-connector (compiled from source) but during FreePbx installation I see the following errors:

root@debian:/usr/src/freepbx# ./install -n
PHP Warning:  Declaration of FreePBX\Install\FreePBXHelpCommand::setCommand(FreePBX\Install\FreePBXInstallCommand $command) should be compatible with Symfony\Component\Console\Command\HelpCommand::setCommand(Symfony\Component\Console\Command\Command $command) in /usr/src/freepbx/installlib/installhelpcommand.class.php on line 15

You have successfully installed FreePBX

Even though it says I have successfully installed FreePBX, it of course does not run.

Hoping someone out there would have suggestions to try to make this non-standard installation work?

For FPBX 13 maybe roll your own php to suit (5.6 should work) from

https://www.php.net/releases/

What is the ownership and permissions of fwconsole?

heyleggomyeggo · January 8, 2020, 9:20pm

Thanks for the tip dicko, did a fwconsole chown then turned off PHP error logging per https://wiki.freepbx.org/display/FOP/Turning+off+FreePBX+Error+Handling.

That at least got me to the admin credentials creation screen. Entered my credentials and got to a basically unpopulated Freepbx home screen (but without Dashboard). Had to load all modules from the command line, had a couple hickups here and there but eventually got it all to load error free. After a reboot, asterisk wasn’t starting so added ‘fwconsole start’ to the end of /etc/rc.local. Also had to start chan_sip.so manually as it wasn’t being loaded originally.

Pleased however FreePBX 13 appears to load under Debian Stretch with mariadb (instead of mysql), PHP 7.0 (vs. 5.6) and Asterisk 17 (compiled from the master branch and fake versioning to 16.99). Very much aware this is completely unsupported and could blow up at any time, nonetheless, happy I got this far:)
