Is there a startup command I need to run?
I started the httpd manually but still nothing, ps aux doesn’t show mysql or asterisk running either.
I followed the distro install guide with no errors encountered.
This is a fresh install.
This is my first time with freepbx so,any help is appreciated .
Guess 1: You’re using virtualization software. This isn’t running on normal hardware.
Guess 2: If guess 1 is right, then when you installed FreePBX Distro, you had the Virtualization software do the install for you.
This means that the Virtualization software thought it was a CentOS or RHEL ISO, and ignored all the non RHEL/CentOS software on the DVD.
When you’re creating your VM, do NOT LET IT PERFORM THE INSTALL. There’ll be an option when creating the VM ‘I will install the OS later’ or something similar. Use that.
webmin is not part of the standard install. however you can install it but just remember to change your webmin port config the default will use 10000 and port 10000 will be used for RTP but this is how you do it
nano /etc/yum.repos.d/webmin.repo
[Webmin]
name=Webmin Distribution Neutral
"#baseurl=http://download.webmin.com/download/yum"
Remove the quotes from the above line
I misused “webmin” as a generic term for the GUI login page which is supposed to be available after the distro load and reboot.
I have used the webmin package before and it is a great tool for managing multiple hosts in a consistent manner.
Thanks for the instructions!
I ran the install from a .iso burned to USB, this has worked just fine for myriad OS installs.
However, I am burning the .img to a USB and will try again.
That wouldn’t work. We have a lot of smarts in our ISO that relies on it being an actual CD (or at least APPEARING as one), which is why we provide the USB image.
Just a note - Webmin binds to port 10000 TCP - Asterisk uses port 10000 UDP - so no conflict there unless you put in your external firewall rules as 10000-19999 Both - if you do that, your Webmin is open to the outside - if you just forward UDP 10000-19999 to Asterisk you are fine.
You can and should change the ports used in /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf. Both for general security (it is a well known port and will be scanned) and to prevent webmin “broadcast” and scan traffic on UDP with a very slight possibility of screwing up one in 5000 calls if you use the default rtp range
It looks like almost everything installed and there are just a few things that need tweaking.
I have a fully functioning linux box, I’d just rather fix whatever is missing.
