I must be missing the obvious, FreePBX17 install

I have been using FreePBX for years. I have installed a fresh Debian 12 VM and installed 17 with the script. It all goes fine as far as I can tell.

But then what? Is there another doc on conf files that need to be edited or some additional steps I am missing? There is nothing open on port 80 or 443. There is no /var/www. I am very confused here and all the documentation I can find does not point to anything beyond run the script.

What am I overlooking?

Thanks

There’s no substantial difference on a newly installed 17 system from any previous version. Check the install log for errors, something must have come unglued if you don’t get a GUI on port 80.

Thanks for the quick reply. I stepped through the whole log, the only error I see is at the bottom. Which I find odd. 192.168.1.2 is my local gateway, why is the install trying to open port 80 on it?

That suggests to me that perhaps the earlier install of apache2 failed.

You can simply rerun the script. I’ve done about 2 dozen installs and in general it works. On Ubuntu I have to manually add a few gpg keys but on the latest Debian it has been plug and play

This is the 3rd VM I have tried this on (I destroyed and retried). Let me try it again and see, I will just rerun the script. It is possible my network is blocking something it’s trying to reach but I would have thought it showed in the log. But clearly this is new so. Thanks.

Look at the error screenshot you posted; it’s trying to access 192.168.1.2/webfilter/blockpage . Your gateway is filtering outgoing traffic and redirecting DNS.

I did not notice the word “blockpage” in the URL before. It’s not DNS it’s redirecting it’s trying to redirect to it’s blockpage for the webfilter. Thanks for pointing that out.

I did get the install to run and everything is good now. The lack of error at the console threw me and I assumed it had run all the way. I was indeed blocking some repo it was reaching out to. Thanks again.
