I have tested IAX to IAX for calls between servers+extensions at different locations, and the calls have worked fine.
Unfortunately I do not own a fax machine so it is not something I can test or tinker with, good luck, hope you get it figured out, if you do be sure to post back how you fixed it.
FWIWâŚ
=====
ZERO sample files are required. After cloning Asterisk (NAFâs or otherwise), FreePBX does require at least an empty modules.conf (and possible an empty ari.conf) or it gets upset. NAFâs Asterisk requires an empty statsd.conf, but thatâs the extenit of it.
=====
I have no problems with UCP after installing FreePBX 14 and Asterisk straight from NAFâs repository:
And it comes up reliably after a reboot:
root@FreePBX:~# ps aux | grep node
asterisk 1575 1.8 4.5 126312 45172 ? Ssl 20:22 0:02 node /var/www/html/admin/modules/ucp/node/index.js
When I install nodejs, I also install libicu-dev (and use nodejs v9, but v8 works equally well):
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_9.x | sudo -E bash -
apt-get -y install nodejs
apt-get -y install libicu-dev
Thank you I appreciate this info. I did find out that modules.conf was required, I figured it out the hard way, removing a few .conf files at a time until I figured out which ones I needed to make it run. Going to look over what youâve posted and try some stuff out.
EDIT: I included the sample file smdi.conf because without it, FreePBX ran, seemingly without issue, but voicemails did not work, I tried loading the voicemail.so file manually as per an example and found that it complained about smdi (a dependency) not yet being loaded, after copying the smdi.conf file from the samples and issuing a reboot, the voicemails started to function again.
EDIT2: seems I already have libicu-dev installed, so it either came with ubuntu or was installed alongside the other dependencies:
libicu-dev is already the newest version (60.2-3ubuntu3).
what does your ps aux | grep asterisk look like?
I donât have an smdi.conf on any system and voicemail works fine. If youâve installed SMDI (Simplified Message Desk Interface), then I suppose you may need smdi.conf.

I notice your safe process is run as root, but then you have another ran as asterisk, I think that is what they refer to as the process forking.
I also see that yours has these parameters that mine does not: -f -vvvg -c
I suspect you didnât install a service (in init.d) that starts Asterisk using âfwconsole startâ and stops Asterisk using âfwconsole stopâ.
usr/sbin/safe_asterisk should always be running and is used to automatically relaunch Asterisk if it crashes for some reason.
FWIW, I have NAFâs GVSIP implemented on the Raspberry Pi and have no problems sending and receiving faxes at 14400 w/ECM through Google Voice using HylaFAX. Iâve never tried the FreePBX fax module.
Confirmed, I just did the install with zero sample files as well.
So I just installed this as Per the wiki (the freepbx install part with âsudo suâ), and it seems that having an empty modules.conf file is the solution that I have been looking for from the start of all this samples file confusion.
Unfortunately nobody ever suggested trying this. I got to the point that I narrowed down the required sample files for my install method down to a couple files, and at that point you mentioned the empty modules.conf file needed (which is better than using the sample one) Also earlier in the thread you pointed out the required empty statsd.conf file.
I just tried this myself, and the entire issue when I was trying to install this following the wiki was because of the missing modules.conf file. A lot of time could have been saved had I realized this sooner.
I did learn some stuff in the process of working on this, so the time spent was not a complete waste. I also devised a very nice backup and restore solution, in which I can boot to another copy of ubuntu, issue a backup of a partition in about 30 seconds (or restore the partition in about 60 seconds) and then boot back to my main copy of ubuntu, all VIA SSH, without even touching the remote computer or any usb thumb drives.
I have updated the existing wiki and modified the touch line to include the other empty .conf files.
going to clean up this guide one more time.
Also, I appreciate you posting @reraikes it is helpful information 
After rereading my post, it seemed I was frustrated, and I just want to make sure you know I am not frustrated with you It is just frustrating when the reason for something not working is not at all obvious.
FYI. Rob and I both wrote those guides and have never had to create modules.conf so we wouldnât have been able to tell you to write out modules.conf. In the next month or so for freepbx 15 we will be updating the guides again.
Andrew,
Itâs only a problem when cloning and compiling NAFâs branch of Asterisk. If using an official Asterisk release tarball, thereâs no need to create modules.conf.
If youâre interested, I can send you a script that illustrates/reproduces the problem.
SMDI is not something I went out of my way to install, but yet it seems I have it, is that something that would have been installed or not installed during make menuselect?
the only thing I did on that step was select format_mp3, app_macro, and wav/ulaw for core sounds. (the rest was defaults.)
using only 1 sample file is not bad though
Just for sake of completeness, I set the extension to go directly to the fax extension and I had no issues.
I also collected some verbose output. Thereâs no indication that it even tries to send the fax to the fax extension. I will open a new topic on this since I donât think itâs related to this topic any more.
Does your script encompass compiling Nafs for the Raspberry Pi, also are you using Raspbian for the OS? I am assuming the install method would be close to the same for the Raspberry Pi as it is for a PC? just that you have to install Raspbian instead of Ubuntu.
Interested in your script for Raspberry Pi that clones & builds Nafs Asterisk, if you would share it please.
Is there any way to install Nafâs Gvsip on Freepbx 14 without recompiling Asterisk? The reason I ask is because I have a fresh install of FreePBX V14 and Asterisk V13.19.0 with the usecallmanager.nz Cisco phone presence patch. Or, is there a way I can install Nafâs Gvsip and the Cisco presence patch concurrently, as in patching Asterisk with both Gvsip and Cisco presence together?
sorry, I have been gone all day, it is possible to apply the patch file.
I will be including patch instructions once I find the time to test them, but there are instructions on how to apply Nafâs patch file in the dslreports thread, scattered across different pages: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r32067540-
I planned on creating patch instructions now that Rob has created an up to date Ubuntu Guide: https://wiki.freepbx.org/display/FOP/Installing+FreePBX+14+on+Ubuntu+18.04 I just need some free time before I can write it up and test it.
I am running into an issue when I run contrib/scripts/install_prereq install. This is on a new VPS with vultr. I canât seem to find anyone else having this issue and I am not sure how to fix it.

root@pbx:/usr/src/asterisk#It is working now. Instead of loading the vultr ubuntu image, I uploaded the ubuntu ISO and installed it directly from there.
Is it possible to add multiple gvsip trunks to freepbx14? I edited the pjsip_custom.conf file by adding basically a duplicate copy of each section [gvsip1] with [gvsip2] with the correct info oauth info etc⌠and created a second trunk for my other gv account and in/out routes etc⌠but no matter what I do when I sign into a sip client with 702 it always uses gvsip1.
Thanks,
