      OK found how to update FreePBX,

      from the webpage Admin tab at top, Module Admin about 2/3 down, then click the button for it to search for updates, then Process them.

        OK weird - i'm still getting the same error as listed above, but what's even weirder is that the time hasn't changed. I've installed the two update from yum and there were 3 modules in FreePBX that needed updating, did that (also reinstalled CID - removed it earlier to solve the asterisk problem)

        Will the error report continue to show me errors even if they are cleared? Do I just have to click the Ignore this button?

        Also, under summary near the top of the page, Asterisk has a yellow triangle with an explanation mark in it, but when I hover over it, it says Asterisk has been up for less than 10 mins, and then lists how long it's actually been up - is this an issue?

          While I wait for a few answer about that I'm moving on.

          I've created a user with an extension - easy enough.... but when I try to connect a Zioper softphone to it using username = ext, password (created by FPBX - really long) Domain = IP of FPBX

          I won't connect - We are sorry, we are unable to connect to your PBX with the information you provided.

              Use netstat -tulpn to see what is listening.

                  Not having any luck getting my extensions to connect I've decided to start over and document even better this time.

                  Again starting with a C@C Dev3 CentOS 6.5 box.

                  Following http://wiki.freepbx.org/display/HTGS/Installing+FreePBX+12+on+CentOS+6.5

                  Time to disable selinux
                  sed -i 's/(^SELINUX=)./\SELINUX=disabled/' /etc/sysconfig/selinux*

                  reboot and check status with sestatus which shows

                  SELinux status:                 enabled
SELinuxfs mount:                /selinux
Current mode:                   enforcing
Mode from config file:          enforcing
Policy version:                 24
Policy from config file:        targeted

                  Uh - Houston, we have a problem. Let's look at /etc/sysconfig/selinux

                  # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
#     enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
#     permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
#     disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
#     targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
#     mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted </code></pre>

                  OK this matches the instructions, but isn't working. Google tells me that I need to change a different file to disable selinux. http://www.shayanderson.com/linux/disable-selinux-on-centos-6.htm

                  This page tells me I need to change SELINUX=disabled in /etc/selinux/config
                  They also mention using getenforce as well as sestatus to check the status of selinux.

                  Success! Upon rebooting after changing /etc/selinux/config I see

                  SELinux status:                 disabled

                  Time to update the system

                  yum -y update
yum groupinstall core
yum groupinstall base

                  I'll be back in an hour or so after this is done.

                      Why are you installing a compiler? What are you going to compile?

                        Because the instructions tell me to...

                        There are several make commands in these setup instructions... is that compiling?

                          Check the status of iptables and disable them for now to make setup easier. (not my idea, the instructions idea).

                          chkconfig iptables --list
                          iptables 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off

                          It was already off (seems odd, but must be the default for C@C)

                          SQL setup time

                          chkconfig --level 345 mysqld on
service mysqld start

                          Output

                          Initializing MySQL database:  WARNING: The host 'c1107372-7807.cloudatcost.com' could not be looked up with resolveip.
This probably means that your libc libraries are not 100 % compatible
with this binary MySQL version. The MySQL daemon, mysqld, should work
normally with the exception that host name resolving will not work.
This means that you should use IP addresses instead of hostnames
when specifying MySQL privileges !
Installing MySQL system tables...
OK
Filling help tables...
OK

To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy
support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:

/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h c1107372-7807.cloudatcost.com password 'new-password'

Alternatively you can run:
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

which will also give you the option of removing the test
databases and anonymous user created by default.  This is
strongly recommended for production servers.

See the manual for more instructions.

You can start the MySQL daemon with:
cd /usr ; /usr/bin/mysqld_safe &

You can test the MySQL daemon with mysql-test-run.pl
cd /usr/mysql-test ; perl mysql-test-run.pl

Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!

                            Make is used for a lot of things. But presumably. This seems fishy, though.

                              I did receive the notice about pear being deprecated - shouldn't these instructions be updated to use the current software?

                              And now a reboot.

                                The package would need to be updated, not just the instructions.

                                        Took a while but Asterisk is installed.

                                        Installing Asterisk extra sounds

                                        mkdir -p /var/lib/asterisk/sounds
cd /var/lib/asterisk/sounds
wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/sounds/asterisk-extra-sounds-en-wav-current.tar.gz
tar xfz asterisk-extra-sounds-en-wav-current.tar.gz
rm -f asterisk-extra-sounds-en-wav-current.tar.gz
# Wideband Audio download
wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/sounds/asterisk-extra-sounds-en-g722-current.tar.gz
tar xfz asterisk-extra-sounds-en-g722-current.tar.gz

                                          Here the second omission in the instructions. They don't tell you to change the directory before downloading FreePBX. I will include it here.

                                          cd /usr/src
wget http://mirror.freepbx.org/freepbx-12.0.3.tgz
tar vxfz freepbx-12.0.3.tgz

                                          Change some permissions

                                          chown asterisk. /var/run/asterisk
chown -R asterisk. /etc/asterisk
chown -R asterisk. /var/{lib,log,spool}/asterisk
chown -R asterisk. /usr/lib/asterisk
chown -R asterisk. /usr/lib64/asterisk
mkdir /var/www/html
chown -R asterisk. /var/www/

                                          Output

                                          # chown asterisk. /var/run/asterisk
# chown -R asterisk. /etc/asterisk
# chown -R asterisk. /var/{lib,log,spool}/asterisk
chown -R asterisk. /usr/lib/asterisk
chown -R asterisk. /usr/lib64/asterisk
mkdir /var/www/html
# chown -R asterisk. /usr/lib/asterisk
chown: cannot access `/usr/lib/asterisk': No such file or directory
# chown -R asterisk. /usr/lib64/asterisk
# mkdir /var/www/html
mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/www/html': File exists
# chown -R asterisk. /var/www/

                                          Odd that there is no /usr/lib/asterisk - so I'll just make a mental note
                                          the /var/www/html directory already exists - so no big deal

                                            A few mods to Apache

                                            sed -i 's/\(^upload_max_filesize = \).*/\120M/' /etc/php.ini
cp /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf_orig
sed -i 's/^\(User\|Group\).*/\1 asterisk/' /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
service httpd restart

                                            Output
                                            Stopping httpd: [ OK ]
                                            Starting httpd: httpd: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for c1115759-27921.cloudatcost.com
                                            httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
                                            [ OK ]

                                            I'm going to have to fix apache so it knows it's FQDN
