Other configurations.
  1. create the following directory

    sudo mkdir /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/custom

  2. change the user for the following directory

    sudo chown -R asterisk:asterisk /var/lib/asterisk/

  3. stop asterisk

    ps aux | grep asterisk
    root 14992 0.0 1.7 22524 7892 ? Ssl 07:14 0:00 asterisk start

  4. 14992 is the Asterisk PID , you will have to stop this pid using the kill command

    sudo kill -s 9 14992

  5. Edit the next file and add the following line if this dont exist in the file

    sudo emacs /etc/default/asterisk
    RUNASTERISK=yes

    sudo amportal start

  7. verify if asterisk is running

    sudo ps aux | grep asterisk

  8. if asterisk is running you should see something like this

    root 15759 0.0 0.1 3864 736 pts/2 S 07:30 0:00 /bin/bash /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk -U asterisk -G asterisk
    asterisk 15764 2.0 1.9 22436 8552 pts/2 Sl 07:30 0:00 /usr/sbin/asterisk -f -U asterisk -G asterisk -vvvg -c
    asterisk 15811 0.0 0.1 1752 496 pts/2 S 07:30 0:00 sh /var/www/asterisk/panel/safe_opserver
    asterisk 15812 14.0 1.8 11072 8340 pts/2 S 07:30 0:00 /usr/bin/perl -w /var/www/asterisk/panel/op_server.pl

  9. Open FireFox and enter the ip address of your web server and put the complete path for FreePBX

    http://192.168.1.2/asterisk/admin/
    By default FreePBX not request your password, but after you should change the admin password and user

    Disconnect of FreePBX

  10. Later edit the amportal.conf file and change the AUTHTYPE value to database

    sudo emacs /etc/amportal.conf
    AUTHTYPE=database

  11. try again connect to FreePBX newly you will be able of enter your user and password to connect to FreePBX Admin

    login:admin
    password:4st3r1sk

  12. Now we have enabled the FreePBX to config Asterisk PBX


    You too can go to the Admin Module and check for new updates and downlooad this modules for have a FreePBX more advanced.


    If the Flash Operator Panel was not enabled, then copy the FOP files of panel directory in FreePBX Installation directory to directory configured in amportal for FOP.

    cd /usr/src/freepbx-2.3.1
    sudo cp -rf amp_conf/htdocs_panel/* /var/www/asterisk/panel
    sudo chown asterisk.asterisk /var/www/asterisk/
