★ How To Install Zabbix Server On Ubuntu 18.04
Step #01: Disable selinux, add asterisk user and allow firewall-cmd 80 port.
[root@FreePBX-Server ~]# cat /etc/resolv.conf [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# sed -i 's/\(^SELINUX=\).*/\SELINUX=disabled/' /etc/sysconfig/selinux [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# sed -i 's/\(^SELINUX=\).*/\SELINUX=disabled/' /etc/selinux/config [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# yum -y update [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# yum -y groupinstall core base "Development Tools" [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# adduser asterisk -m -c "Asterisk User" [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp --permanent [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# firewall-cmd --reload
Step #02: Install database server and web server using below command for FreePBX.
[root@FreePBX-Server ~]# yum -y install lynx tftp-server unixODBC mysql-connector-odbc mariadb-server mariadb httpd ncurses-devel sendmail sendmail-cf sox newt-devel li bxml2-devel libtiff-devel audiofile-devel gtk2-devel subversion kernel-devel git crontabs cronie cronie-anacron wget vim uuid-devel sqlite-devel net-t ools gnutls-devel python-devel texinfo libuuid-devel
Step #03: Add required repo for install FreePBX 14.
[root@FreePBX-Server ~]# rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el7/webtatic-release.rpm [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# yum remove php*
Step #04: Install php required package for install FreePBX 14.
[root@FreePBX-Server ~]# yum install php56w php56w-pdo php56w-mysql php56w-mbstring php56w-pear php56w-process php56w-xml php56w-opcache php56w-ldap php56w-intl php56w- soap
Step #05: Start and enable some service for FreePBX 14.
[root@FreePBX-Server ~]# curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | bash - [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# yum install -y nodejs [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# systemctl enable mariadb.service [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# systemctl start mariadb [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# systemctl enable httpd.service [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# systemctl start httpd.service
Step #06: Download and install iksemel for FreePBX 14.
[root@FreePBX-Server ~]# cd /usr/src [root@FreePBX-Server src]# wget -c https://src.fedoraproject.org/lookaside/pkgs/iksemel/iksemel-1.4.tar.gz/md5/532e77181694f87ad5eb59435d11c1ca/iksemel-1.4.tar.gz [root@FreePBX-Server src]# tar xf iksemel-1.4.tar.gz [root@FreePBX-Server src]# cd iksemel* [root@FreePBX-Server iksemel-1.4]# ./configure [root@FreePBX-Server iksemel-1.4]# make [root@FreePBX-Server iksemel-1.4]# make install
Step #07: Download libpri and asterisk 14 for install FreePBX 14.
[root@FreePBX-Server iksemel-master]# cd /usr/src [root@FreePBX-Server src]# wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/libpri/libpri-current.tar.gz [root@FreePBX-Server src]# wget https://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases/asterisk-14.7.7.tar.gz [root@FreePBX-Server src]# wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/dahdi-linux-complete/dahdi-linux-complete-current.tar.gz [root@FreePBX-Server src]# tar xvfz dahdi-linux-complete-current.tar.gz [root@FreePBX-Server src]# cd dahdi-linux-complete-* [root@FreePBX-Server dahdi-linux-complete-3.1.0+3.1.0]# make all [root@FreePBX-Server dahdi-linux-complete-3.1.0+3.1.0]# make install [root@FreePBX-Server dahdi-linux-complete-3.1.0+3.1.0]# make config [root@FreePBX-Server dahdi-linux-complete-3.1.0+3.1.0]# cd /usr/src [root@FreePBX-Server src]# tar xf libpri-current.tar.gz [root@FreePBX-Server src]# cd libpri* [root@FreePBX-Server libpri-1.6.0]# make [root@FreePBX-Server libpri-1.6.0]# make install
Step #08: Download jansson for install FreePBX 14.
[root@FreePBX-Server libpri-1.6.0]# cd /usr/src [root@FreePBX-Server src]# wget -O jansson.tar.gz https://github.com/akheron/jansson/archive/v2.10.tar.gz [root@FreePBX-Server src]# tar xf jansson.tar.gz [root@FreePBX-Server src]# cd jansson* [root@FreePBX-Server jansson-2.10]# autoreconf -i [root@FreePBX-Server jansson-2.10]# ./configure --libdir=/usr/lib64 [root@FreePBX-Server jansson-2.10]# make [root@FreePBX-Server jansson-2.10]# make install
Step 09: Extract asterisk before download from Step #07: and install for FreePBX 14
[root@FreePBX-Server jansson-2.10]# cd /usr/src [root@FreePBX-Server src]# tar xf asterisk-14.7.7.tar.gz [root@FreePBX-Server src]# cd asterisk-14* [root@FreePBX-Server asterisk-14.7.7]# contrib/scripts/install_prereq install [root@FreePBX-Server asterisk-14.7.7]# ./configure --libdir=/usr/lib64 --with-pjproject-bundled [root@FreePBX-Server asterisk-14.7.7]# contrib/scripts/get_mp3_source.sh [root@FreePBX-Server asterisk-14.7.7]# make menuselect [root@FreePBX-Server asterisk-14.7.7]# make [root@FreePBX-Server asterisk-14.7.7]# make install [root@FreePBX-Server asterisk-14.7.7]# make config [root@FreePBX-Server asterisk-14.7.7]# ldconfig [root@FreePBX-Server asterisk-14.7.7]# chkconfig asterisk off
Step #10: Setup asterisk permission and increase upload size for FreePBX 14.
[root@FreePBX-Server asterisk-14.7.7]# cd [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# chown asterisk. /var/run/asterisk [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# chown -R asterisk. /etc/asterisk [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# chown -R asterisk. /var/{lib,log,spool}/asterisk [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# chown -R asterisk. /usr/lib64/asterisk [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# chown -R asterisk. /var/www/ [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# sed -i 's/AllowOverride None/AllowOverride All/' /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf [root@FreePBX-Server ~]# systemctl restart httpd.service

Important now server reboot needed then install FreePBX 14.
Step #12: Download FreePBX 14 then extract and install on my server CentOS 7.
[root@FreePBX-Server ~]# cd /usr/src [root@FreePBX-Server src]# wget http://mirror.freepbx.org/modules/packages/freepbx/freepbx-14.0-latest.tgz [root@FreePBX-Server src]# tar xf freepbx-14.0-latest.tgz [root@FreePBX-Server src]# cd freepbx* [root@FreePBX-Server freepbx]# sestatus [root@FreePBX-Server freepbx]# ./start_asterisk start [root@FreePBX-Server freepbx]# ./install
Now see output as like below:
Database engine [mysql]: << Press enter Database name [asterisk]: << Press enter CDR Database name [asteriskcdrdb]: << Press enter Database username [root]: << Press enter Database password: passw0rd << Type your root password File owner user [asterisk]: << Press enter File owner group [asterisk]: << Press enter Filesystem location from which FreePBX files will be served [/var/www/html]: << Press enter Filesystem location from which Asterisk configuration files will be served [/etc/asterisk]: << Press enter Filesystem location for Asterisk modules [/usr/lib64/asterisk/modules]: << Press enter Filesystem location for Asterisk lib files [/var/lib/asterisk]: << Press enter Filesystem location for Asterisk agi files [/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin]: << Press enter Location of the Asterisk spool directory [/var/spool/asterisk]: << Press enter Location of the Asterisk run directory [/var/run/asterisk]: << Press enter Location of the Asterisk log files [/var/log/asterisk]: << Press enter Location of the FreePBX command line scripts [/var/lib/asterisk/bin]: << Press enter Location of the FreePBX (root) command line scripts [/usr/sbin]: << Press enter Location of the Apache cgi-bin executables [/var/www/cgi-bin]: << Press enter Directory for FreePBX html5 playback files [/var/lib/asterisk/playback]: << Press enter
This is last message like as :
