[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

Change upload size from /etc/php.ini file.

upload_max_filesize = 120M

Then save for press Esc type :wq then press Enter.

manually add below two line 66 & 67 edit your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file.

User asterisk

Group asterisk

[root@FreePBX-Server ~]# vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

For save press Esc type :wq then press Enter.

Then save file and start again.

[root@FreePBX-Server ~]# systemctl restart httpd.service

Step #11: Now setup mysql secure installation using below command.

[root@FreePBX-Server ~]#   mysql_secure_installation

Then see output below

NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB
      SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE!  PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!

In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user.  If you've just installed MariaDB, and
you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none):  << Press enter
OK, successfully used password, moving on...

Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MariaDB
root user without the proper authorisation.

Set root password? [Y/n] Y  << Type Y to setup MariaDB root password
New password:  << Enter MariaDB root password
Re-enter new password:   << Confirm  MariaDB root password
Password updated successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
 ... Success!

By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for
them.  This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother.  You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y << Type Y to remove anonymous users
 ... Success!

Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'.  This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.

Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] Y  << Type Y to disable root login remotely
 ... Success!

By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
access.  This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.

Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] Y << Type Y to remove test database
 - Dropping test database...
 ... Success!
 - Removing privileges on test database...
 ... Success!

Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.

Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] Y << Type Y to reload privilege tables
 ... Success!

Cleaning up...

All done!  If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure.

Thanks for using MariaDB!

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 :

Finished setting permissions
Generating default configurations...
Finished generating default configurations
You have successfully installed FreePBX

Important note : must be selinux disable otherwise not install FreePBX 14.

Step #13 : Now browser your server IP address using any browser. Then create your admin account and enjoy IP telephony system. 

http://10.66.40.10/

See some module so if you need more module then update your server.

Goto Module Admin under Admin menu. Now click Check Online then click Download all.  Then click Process and finally click Confirm on the left bottom.

Step #14 : After download complete then click Return and then click Apply Config on the top right corner.
