Hello...You blog is so fun. I am very happy to read it, I want to know how ofter you post it, And I will on time to read it. Our company sell some NIKE shoes.

FOOD FOR THE DRUNKS!!!!

Thanks! :-)

I read last night about Quickly in the latest Linux Journal... it's a framework for something the article referred to as "opportunistic programming." Putting a name on, and giving respect to, my style and motivation for programming was pretty awesome. (The framework looks pretty awesome, too.)

Excelent work and way to go! The best open source products evolved because of people needing it and by putting your code on github you created an good starting point!

I will give it a spin later next week or so. I intend to have it running on one of my own servers that then backups to another one of my servers :D. I am a bit of a python programmer myself, so if I come across something I think can help enhance your code, you will find it in github too.

Respect!

By this point, I've not only registered, but successfully graduated. ;-)

Bite the hair off the dog that bit you. Of course, this was written two years ago. But, I just read it today. It's like a portal. Did you get registered?

I definitely do the "spectacles, testicles" thing. Only drawback of that is that if for whatever reason I legitimately don't have one of them (e.g. cellphone is charging, keys loaned to wife, etc.) I experience brief moments of panic all day long. heh...

But yeah, I've natural done that for like ten years now.

(In other news, Holy Captcha!)

@Dennis: That part looks right at least. I'm just not sure what's going on. Weird. Well, 10.04 is almost out, so perhaps I'll run into this when I do the next big FreePBX+Lighttpd+Ubuntu challenge. :-)

I never get beyond the 'Welcome" page. The three other choices return "403 Forbidden"

Here is what was returned. I am unfamiliar with these.

root@switch:~# ps auxwww | grep asterisk
asterisk 2267 0.0 0.4 27032 2528 ? Ss 10:31 0:00 /usr/bin/php-cgi
asterisk 2269 0.0 0.3 27032 1596 ? S 10:31 0:00 /usr/bin/php-cgi
asterisk 2270 0.0 0.3 27032 1596 ? S 10:31 0:00 /usr/bin/php-cgi
root 15253 0.0 0.1 3044 808 pts/0 S+ 11:15 0:00 grep asterisk

Thanks again.

John: Asterisk from source is fine. Next time I write one of these tutorials, I'll probably end up compiling from source: I actually don't use the pv_grub/dahdi stuff on my "production" setup as I don't need conferencing, so doing that whole rigmarole is a pain.

Which version of FreePBX are you using? I wrote these instructions for 2.5.2, and 2.7 is the current version. I wonder if something changed within FreePBX. I just upgraded to 2.7, so we'll see what happens ;-)

I keep getting the 403 error when i try to access the admin, ari or fop
my asterisk is built from source is that a problem?

Hmmm... are you seeing anything in lighttpd's error.log about that? Also, what does ps auxwww | grep asterisk return?

Also, is it asking for a username/password when you try to go to the /freepbx/admin/ page? It should be. Hmm.

If it helps here are my permissions:

switch@switch-desktop:/var/www/freepbx$ ls -la
total 36
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 2010-03-03 06:03 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2010-03-02 15:03 ..
drwxr-xr-x 8 asterisk asterisk 4096 2010-03-03 06:03 admin
drwxr-xr-x 2 asterisk asterisk 4096 2010-03-03 06:02 _asterisk

drwxr-xr-x 7 asterisk asterisk 4096 2010-03-03 06:03 recordings
switch@switch-desktop:/var/www/freepbx$

I get the Frog page but cannot get any further.

I too am just getting 403. ( Initially I got 500 )

I believe it has to do with the syntax of line 3 in:
server.modules += ( "mod_fastcgi", "mod_access" )

Could you give a working example?

Thanks for this excellent step by step.

Jun: The op panel requires some additional work that I have not yet figured out. I generally use the Busy Lamp Field (BLF) method of monitoring extension status, since it works on the phones themselves.

access permission to /var/www/frepbx/* is asterisk asterisk here is the err log from lighttpd:

2010-02-15 06:26:50: (mod_fastcgi.c.2618) FastCGI-stderr: Mon, 15 Feb 2010 06:26:51 +0800 - Failed to login.

One problem accessing the panel, it throws an error like this:

Warning: file(/etc/amportal.conf) [function.file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/freepbx/panel/index_amp.php on line 4

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/freepbx/panel/index_amp.php on line 5

any idea what's wrong?

Great installation procedures for asterisk + freepbx, thanks...

Hmmm... what are your permissions for /var/www/html/freepbx/*? Here's what I have:

Code:

(note that this is on my "production" box running Ubuntu 8.04; your ls -la should be similar, but they might not be exact)

Also, does anything show up in /var/log/lighttpd/error.log when you get the 403?

Ryan,

After reinstallation, I got the "frog" on the http://mydomain/freepbx.
However, when I tried to click on any link (admin) I got 403 forbidden.
any idea??

Thanks,
