Been trying to install the following version of the distro: FreePBX-2.210.62-2-x86_64-Full-1355434939 (passed an MD5 check)
As of two days ago (and probably now) this was the latest stable version of the x64 FreePBX distro with CentOS 6.2.
We’re attempting to install it on a Vmware ESX 5 server, which supports CentOS 6 as evidenced by the option to select it as a guest OS. The VM has internet access, and has a static IP, gateway, and name server specified (and later confirmed to be working just fine, ping confirms it can reach the internet and resolve hostnames).
During the first boot, regardless of selecting Asterisk 1.8, or 10 - or Raid, No Raid, or Advanced installation options, we encounter the exact same error each and every time:
“Some firstboot error occurred, and the system is not properly setup. Check to see if you have internet access and re-run /etc/pbx-first-boot.sh – Press ctrl-alt-f1 to continue”
We jumped to another virtual console using the CTRL-ALT-F1 and confirmed the box has internet access and can resolve hostnames. A coworker of mine believes it’s because kickstart.freepbxdistro.org is down and not responding to ping. The URL resolves to a generic Apache page, which I believe is the core of the problem.

++ exit 1
Had 30mins so I re-installed. I am using the Manual TCP/IP config option. At Name Server I read it as ‘name of the server’ and not ‘domain name server’.
I put my local DNS in and on reboot it passed the Testing Internet option and seems to be installing fine now.
Are the hostnames you’re resolving on your local network? If so they should resolve. If not, try an outside name like google.com/msn.com/whatever.
Funny - I did the opposite. I was using local DNS, but now specified an external DNS (google’s 8.8.8.8) – and it passed the point where it normally failed.
Just tried with 3.211.63-2x86_64
Problem is - instead of failing immediately, it goes much further - almost completing the installation, then going up in flames.

I can access the web interface after installation - and it asks to configure the admin account. The moment I log in with said account I get this:
FATAL ERROR

This is the fourth time the download distribution and the same error

Distibutiv FreePBX-4.211.64-6-x86_64-Full-1376493079.iso

Tell me what else can be done to install FreePBX? Although yesterday installed on another computer without problems.
Thanks.
