Permissions

Permissions are a critical part of a working system.

Incorrect permissions can cause many problem including the following:

• fusionpbx writing the config files for freeswitch
• prevent voicemail to email from actually sending the email
• prevent recordings from working
• prevent fax to email working

Where do the file permissions come from.

• FusionPBX gets its file permissions from the user account that the web server is running under.
• FreeSWITCH gets its file permissions under the user account that it runs under

What needs to be achieved with permissions.

• FusionPBX needs permission to read and write to most of FreeSWITCH's files.
• FreeSWITCH needs permission to read all its files and write to the storage directory and its sub directories.
• FreeSWITCH needs read permissions on the fusionpbx/secure directory and execute on the cli conf file and the fax and email php files.
