FreeBSD Install

My Goal

My Goal is to make a easy to install PBX Based on Freebsd & Freeswitch & Fusionpbx .

I am tired of iso's that don't work/install correctly. So I Have taken the time to walk you through a base
install and include a script that uses ports that are maintained outside the bsd ports tree due to the fact they
are easier to maintain and update.

By Default this script installs nginx and sqlite3.

If you need Apache or another web server you will have to do this yourself. (Please take the time to Document it below if you do.)
If you wish to use mysql or Postgresql then you can select them when the nginx port buildsit only installs the connector clients.

You will have to install the mysql or postgresql server either on the same box or a remote
server of your choice and configure it properly.

My new install script does all the work.
It setus up freeswitch / nginx / sqlite3 / fusionpbx.

It will pull and install all the needed all the FreeBSD and Freeswitch dependencies and configuration files for you.

I am also working on a simple update script that will help update and maintain your system. I will add them to the bottom of the page with links to them. I also have script for maintaining bsd jail pbx systems I will post.

If you need support or have ideas, or wish to report errors in the script and install & if you wish to help maintain and update the scripts and ports.

Freebsd + Freeswitch + FusionPbx - Installation Script

Get the script here.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/152504/Freebsd-Fusionpbx
exec ./Freebsd-Fusionpbx and let it do its thing answering questions/prompts as needed.

When the script goes to the sounds port and pulls up the sox selection you need to deselect ffmpeg if you do not wish to bloat your system with un-needed xorg libs.

When the script prompts you for php build you will need to select the php-fpm module this replaces fastcgi.

Also when it prompts you for nginx you will need to select the http_ssl_ module allowing for https to function correctly

I will be porsting a updated script shortly to help you maintain your install when updates come out.

FreeBSD 9.x iso's For Devel and Testing

Use 9.x for beat testing and development.

FreeBSD 9.x Minimal Install

In 9.x the installer changes.

Freebsd 9.0 New installer Basic Setup

select install
select UnitedStates iso-8895-1
set hostname
deselect games and docs for a minimal install
select guided and full partition
and then goto exit
hit save.
set root passwd
setup network interface
set up clock / ntpdate
setp daemons ssh and ntpd is all thats needed at this point
next add a user if you wish
next go to exit and reboot

after reboot
login and ee /etc/ssh/sshd_conf
and rm the # from infront of PermitRootLogin and change no to yes
then /etc/rc.d/sshd restart

now you can ssh into the box.

This is a quick install using the basics. I will work on a more in-depth install later.
when prompter for docs and ports and src deselect all.

Freebsd + Freeswitch + FusionPbx - Developers Installation Script

If you wish to use the development ports. Please pull http://dl.dropbox.com/u/152504/Freebsd-Fusionpbx-Devel
This script incluse a git port for freeswitch and a svn port for fusionpbx and any other ports I am currently testing to add to the freeswitch build.

When using the devel ports you need to refer to a few things to update the make files in the ports

http://files.freeswitch.org look at the sounds and music versions if they change you will have to edit thier Makefiles and change the version numbers.

http://code.google.com/p/fusionpbx/source/list to get the latest subversion number. Then edit the devel-ports/www/fusionpbx-svn/Makefile and change the SVN_REV= number to the latest.

to update the devel-ports/net/freeswitch-core-git & run make git-clean & make git & make git-version. Edit the make file and change the GITVERSION= number.

I am working on a script to dothis in the future.

Postgresql Server Setup (localhost)

\----Fresh pgsql install----/
cd /usr/ports/database/postgresql84-server && make install clean
To set and configure PgSQL for use with FusionPBX,
Follow this line for line.

su pgsql
initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data >logfile 2>&1 &
createuser -S -e FusionPBX
createdb -O FusionPBX FusionPBX

alter user FusionPBX with password 'pbx2010';or any passwd you want ";" required
psql -f /usr/local/www/fusionpbx/includes/install/sql/pgsql.sql FusionPBX
exit from su

For a existiting pgsql database install follow:
su pgsql
