# wget http://mirror.freepbx.org/modules/packages/freepbx/freepbx-12.0-latest.tgz
# tar vxfz freepbx-12-latest.tgz
# cd freepbx

# chown asterisk. /var/run/asterisk
# chown -R asterisk. /etc/asterisk
# chown -R asterisk. /var/{lib,log,spool}/asterisk

# cp /etc/apache2/apache2.conf /etc/apache2/apache2.conf_orig
# sed -i 's/^\(User\|Group\).*/\1 asterisk/' /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
# service apache2 restart
4. Configure ODBC by editing /etc/odbcinst.ini and adding the following.
Note: this command assumes you are installing to a new machine, and that the file is empty. If this is not a freshly
installed machine, please manually verify the contents of the file, rather than just copying and pasting the lines below.
The 'EOF' does no go in the file, it simply signals to the 'cat' command that you have finished pasting.

cat >> /etc/odbcinst.ini << EOF

[MySQL]
Description = ODBC for MySQL
Driver = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc/libmyodbc.so
Setup = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/odbc/libodbcmyS.so
FileUsage = 1

EOF

You may need to verify these paths, if you're not on a x86_64 machine. You can use the command `find / -name
libmyodbc.so` to verify the location

Edit or create /etc/odbc.ini and add the following section. Note that, again, this command assumes you are installing to
a new machine, and the file is empty. Please manually verify the contents of the files if this is not the case.

 cat >> /etc/odbc.ini << EOF
[MySQL-asteriskcdrdb]
Description=MySQL connection to 'asteriskcdrdb' database
driver=MySQL
server=localhost
database=asteriskcdrdb
Port=3306
Socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
option=3

EOF

Preparing MySQL
1. Enter the command below to generate a secure password for FreePBX that would be used to communicate with
MySQL.

# export ASTERISK_DB_PW=`dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1 count=32 2>/dev/null | base64 - | cut -c2-18`

This will generate a quasi-random 16 character long password, which should be secure enough for most things. If you
had set the MySQL 'root' password to be something when you were installing the machine, you will need to add a -
pyourpassword flag to the following lines

2. Configure Asterisk database in MYSQL by entering the commands below.

# mysqladmin -u root create asterisk

# mysqladmin -u root create asteriskcdrdb

3. Set permissions on MYSQL database by entering the commands below.

# mysql -u root -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON asterisk.* TO asteriskuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY

'${ASTERISK_DB_PW}';"
# mysql -u root -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON asteriskcdrdb.* TO asteriskuser@localhost
IDENTIFIED BY '${ASTERISK_DB_PW}';"
# mysql -u root -e "flush privileges;"

4. Restart Asterisk and install FreePBX by entering the commands below.

# ./start_asterisk start
# ./install_amp --installdb --username=asteriskuser --password=${ASTERISK_DB_PW}
# amportal chown
# amportal a ma installall
# amportal a reload
# amportal a ma refreshsignatures
# amportal chown

5. Finally, set one last mod and start FreePBX by entering the commands below.

# ln -s /var/lib/asterisk/moh /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3
# amportal restart
