CentOS Install
Contents
Preface
The following instructions were written for CentOS 5.6. http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/isos/ After installing CentOS follow the instructions below.
Dependencies
Install the following dependencies
yum install subversion autoconf automake libtool gcc-c++ git-core ncurses-devel make expat-devel zlib zlib-devel yum install nano unixODBC-devel openssl-devel gnutls-devel libogg-devel libvorbis-devel curl-devel libtiff-devel libjpeg-devel python-devel expat-devel zlib zlib-devel bzip2
GIT Install
cd /usr/local/src yum -y install gcc make gettext-devel curl-devel wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.7.4.tar.bz2 tar -xvjf git-1.7.4.tar.bz2 cd git-1.7.4 make prefix=/usr/local all make prefix=/usr/local install
FreeSWITCH Install
Then use the following
cd /usr/src/ git clone git://git.freeswitch.org/freeswitch.git cd /usr/src/freeswitch ./bootstrap.sh
Edit modules.conf to enable or disable desired modules. To enable a few extra features you may want to go ahead and edit modules.conf. Remove the # in front of the lines with these modules:
mod_rtmp mod_spandsp mod_flite mod_shout mod_pocketshpinx
Complete the FreeSWITCH compile.
./configure make install make samples make cd-sounds-install make cd-moh-install make hd-moh-install make hd-sounds-install

To upgrade FreeSWITCH in the future do the following:
cd /usr/src/freeswitch make current
FreeSWITCH Auto Start
Copy the sample-init-file to /etc/init.d/
cp build/freeswitch.init.redhat /etc/init.d/freeswitch
Replace /opt/freeswitch with /usr/local/freeswitch in the /etc/init.d/freeswitch
sed -i 's/\/opt\/freeswitch/\/usr\/local\/freeswitch/g' /etc/init.d/freeswitch
Set the permissions and add it to run on startup
chmod 765 /etc/init.d/freeswitch /sbin/chkconfig --add freeswitch /sbin/chkconfig --level 5 freeswitch on /sbin/chkconfig --list freeswitch
FreeSWITCH conf
Disable the following files but leave them for examples
cd /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/dialplan/default mv 00_ladspa.xml 00_ladspa.noload mv 00_pizza_demo.xml 00_pizza_demo.noload mv 01_Talking_Clock.xml 01_Talking_Clock.noload
Repositories
CentOS does not yet ship a recent enough version of PHP in order to use PHP FPM (fast cgi), so we suggest you use the RPMs provided in the REMI repository. To do so:
wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm rpm -Uvh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh remi-release-5.rpm
SELinux
Can create problems for file access and running services. The following link describes how to disable SELinux.
http://www.crypt.gen.nz/selinux/disable_selinux.html
Database
SQLite
Is installed with PHP
PostgreSQL
Postgres 8.4 or higher is required. The following instructions install version 9.0 Replace the custom-username and custom-password with the account information.
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/YUM_Installation (additional information)
Locate and edit your distributions .repo file, located: [base] and [updates] sections
nano /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
To the section(s) identified above, you need to append a line:
exclude=postgresql*
Download and install PGDG RPM file
wget http://www.pgrpms.org/9.0/redhat/rhel-5-i386/pgdg-centos-9.0-2.noarch.rpm rpm -ivh pgdg-centos-9.0-2.noarch.rpm yum install postgresql90-server service postgresql-9.0 initdb /sbin/chkconfig postgresql-9.0 on service postgresql-9.0 initdb service postgresql-9.0 start su postgres psql CREATE ROLE custom-username WITH SUPERUSER LOGIN PASSWORD 'custom-password'; \q exit sed -i 's/ident/md5/g' /var/lib/pgsql/9.0/data/pg_hba.conf service postgresql-9.0 restart
MySQL
Check to see if MySQL is installed
yum --enablerepo=remi list mysql mysql-server
If it is installed then update it to a newer version
yum --enablerepo=remi upgrade mysql mysql-server
If it is not installed then add it
yum –-enablerepo=remi install mysql mysql-server /sbin/chkconfig mysqld on service mysqld start
Set the root password
mysqladmin -u root password new_password_here mysqladmin -h 127.0.0.1 -u root password new_password_here
PHP
rpm -Uvh remi-release-5*.rpm epel-release-5*.rpm yum --enablerepo=remi install php php-common php-pdo php-soap php-xml php-xmlrpc yum --enablerepo=remi upgrade php php-common php-pdo
For PostgreSQL add
yum --enablerepo=remi install php-pgsql
For MySQL then add
yum --enablerepo=remi install php-mysql
Web Server
There are multiple choices for a web server to use. These instructions focus on nginx because it takes very little server resources and scales well.
NGINX (pronounced: engine x)
yum --enablerepo=remi install nginx php-fpm /sbin/chkconfig php-fpm on /sbin/chkconfig nginx on
Add the following directories.
mkdir /etc/nginx/sites-available mkdir /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
Remove the original config and add a more flexible one.
cd /etc/nginx rm nginx.conf wget http://www.fusionpbx.com/downloads/centos/nginx/nginx.conf cd /etc/nginx/sites-available wget http://www.fusionpbx.com/downloads/centos/nginx/fusionpbx.conf ln /etc/nginx/sites-available/fusionpbx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/fusionpbx.conf
OpenSSL
Make sure the /etc/ssl directory exists
mkdir -p /etc/ssl
Change the directory
cd /etc/ssl
Generate a private key:
openssl genrsa -des3 -passout pass:fusionpbx_cert_password -out fusionpbx.ssl.key 1024
Remove password from private key:
openssl rsa -in fusionpbx.ssl.key -passin pass:fusionpbx_cert_password -out fusionpbx.ssl.key.nopass
Create a CSR (certificate signing request):
openssl req -new -key fusionpbx.ssl.key.nopass -out fusionpbx.ssl.csr -subj "/CN=fusionpbx/OU=Project/O=FusionPBX/L=Boise/C=US"
Generate self-signed cert:
openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in fusionpbx.ssl.csr -signkey fusionpbx.ssl.key.nopass -out fusionpbx.ssl.crt
FusionPBX
Download FusionPBX source and add it to the web server directory.
cd /var/www sudo svn checkout http://fusionpbx.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/fusionpbx /var/www/fusionpbx
If you get an error: 'svn: command not found.' Then add subversion. Then run the svn checkout again.
yum install subversion
Permissions
There are multiple ways to handle permissions. FreeSWITCH creates some file on demand such as voicemail and does not give the necessary group permissions because of that the following method is currently recommended. This method adds the www-data user, changes ownership of the files to use www-data and then make the php-fpm and freeswitch services run as www-data.
/usr/sbin/adduser www-data
chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/local/freeswitch
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/fusionpbx
sed -i 's/user = apache/user = www-data/g' /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf
sed -i 's/group = apache/group = www-data/g' /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf
sed -i 's/${FS_USER-freeswitch}/${FS_USER-www-data}/g' /etc/init.d/freeswitch
chown -R www-data:www-data -R /var/lib/php/session
Network Time Protocol
If NTP is not installed then install it.
yum install ntp chkconfig ntpd on ntpdate pool.ntp.org service ntpd start
If NTP is running then do the following:
service ntpd stop ntpdate pool.ntp.org service ntpd start
Fail2ban
Brute force attacks are common. If the SIP and RTP ports are exposed to the Internet then it is important to install and configure Fail2ban. Fail2ban can be configured to analyze the FreeSWITCH logs. When attacker are identified it blocks the offenders.
yum install fail2ban cd /etc/init.d /sbin/chkconfig fail2ban on
The configurations directory is
/etc/fail2ban
For more info go to Fail2Ban
Browser
To complete install go to the ip address or domain of the server in your web browser. You can use http or https and follow the instructions.
Login
After completing the install the default login information is:
user: superadmin
pass: fusionpbx
