@WLS-ITGuy said in FreePBX Asterisk crash:

Since Tuesday evening our phones intermittently have been showing 'No Service'. I did some searching and couldn't find anything. Decided I might roll out Asterisk 15 and found this:

You want 16, not 15, if you are updating. 15 is one version old and not LTS. 16 is both current and LTS, so definitely the way to go.

Asterisk 16 removes some long depreciated commands that break third party tools like FOP2.

@pete-s said in FreePBX Restored from Vultr Snapshot - No IP on boot:

@bigbear
It's udev that has a rule with eth0 and the old mac address.
Don't know what distro you're running but try looking in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.
Delete the line that has NAME="eth0" in it. And change the line with NAME="eth1" to eth0.
And then you have to swap back eth1 to eth0 in your network settings.

Perfect!

@gjacobse said in Remote FreePBX Extension:

NTG uses a responsive firewall on its internal PBX and have very very little rare issues. Set the phones server, stun, and such and you are good to go.

You use STUN with the responsive firewall ? I haven’t had to use STUN for a while now, but I know a lot of people still have to use it. Just curious as to why?

We use STUN always. The responsive firewall doesn't affect the need for STUN in any way. STUN is for the end points, not the server.

Does the traffic from the endpoint via STUN not also appear form the STUN IP to the server? I rarely use it. so just wondering.

@coliver said in Recommended FreePBX Commercial Modules?:

Not necessarily an add-on from shmooze but FOP2 is phenomenal.

This is a great tool, really cheap and you can use it on Freeswitch as well. Also easy to change the GUI to a more modern interface.

Opened a ticket with Vultr. We'll see what they suggest.

The UCP is supposed to be improved, but it looks like more work instead. Need more time with that.

@bigbear said in Trying the FreePBX 13 to 14 Upgrade:

I gave the UCP a try, there was no default layout or apps. Kind of a miss there because by comparison it is maybe its stronger using-facing benefit.

@jaredbusch said in Trying the FreePBX 13 to 14 Upgrade:

That is what I am seeing and wondering WTF.

We have plans to add customization by Administrators from within User Manager. We will also note to add default layouts in there as well.

The tutorial walks you through most of this however.

More to come in time.

Yeah, a default layout would be awesome. The tutorial is good. I went through it yesterday.

For those looking to do this upgrade, the link is no longer valid. Try this one...

@EddieJennings I don't know about the third, but if you start a hosting trial at freepbxhosting.com you get the first two free. Even if you then mode your install to Vultr it seems the licenses follow you for free.

And easy enough to resolve once I look.

@EddieJennings you should have reminded me to look more earlier..

/etc/sudoers has it commented out.

@JaredBusch Could be. All I know is it's working now.

Great guide! Super helpful.

For anyone not familiar, here is a screenshot of my free version.

here is a paid version at a client with ~40 extensions.

FYI, screens have changed a bit for Version 14

@jaredbusch Good to know. I was thinking about doing this but I wasn't sure if it was truly still in beta or Sangoma was not keeping up to date.

@table said in Duplicating IVR entries in FreePBX 13:

@jaredbusch

Is there a better way to do this with whats included in freepbx or commercial modules? I was thinking just putting the script in cron and just have it run every so many hours. Then eventually making a form to add or modify the data.

What I would do is update your ivr3 to include the id and name from ivr_details and think of those as the unique key. Or add them to a separate cross reference table, however you want to handle it.

Then add logic to your system to fail and notify if there is a mismatch (aka someone changed it in FreePBX).

There is no way to do this in FreePBX itself.

Once you change the database, you will have to reload everything.

You can issue the fwconsole reload command from your script. That is the same as clicking the red "Apply Config" button.

Thanks for this post, @JaredBusch . I got the previous month's bill from TPX and am going to start going through it to see how much we can save by switching from our PRI.

We have to upgrade (replace) our Mitel/ShoreTel Shoregear T1, so that will cost a few grand.

@fuznutz04 said in Unable to create a parking lot in FreePBX 13:

Did you try disabling or uninstalling the call park module and then reinstalling the module?

Do that let me get something to save in the GUI, but parking still did not work.

Turns out the asterisk module was not even loaded.

Now log into your new FreePBX system and it will show the Apply Config warning.

Do so.

At this point you can go through the new system one piece at a time and make sure you are good.
Change a couple extensions to point to your new PBX and make sure they register and can call each other.
Once you are sure that the basics are working, disable the trunks on the old system, enable on the new system, and verify outside connectivity works.
Finally, you can change the rest of the extensions.

Is it best to setup a second route for e911 usage?

I always do. Because then I can mark the route as such.
