Try this...

Awesome, thanks for the tips. Yes Azure is just our test lab I get $190/month credit so why not use it, right? Ill try the cron job and see if that works, will let you know.

OK so I ran the install again. prompted me for mysql password and freepbx password. It rebooted so all was good.

When I go the website it shows me a server error http 500. Is there something else I need to do? ports are open 80, 443 and 3306. Web files look as though they are all there. Permissions?

@3Mu36 Sounds like you've lost networking. If you cannot reach the outside world then definitely nothing here is going to work. The machine is offline and cannot respond. That would make your issue very different than the other one that we are discussing because the one is online and responding. That SSH keeps working is very odd. So networking is not 100% broken, but something major is.

What is the output of ping 8.8.8.8?

When I ping 8.8.8.8 it just hangs.

Here is the output of my log

Yeah I don't get whats going on. I want to be able to access the site over httpd but the dns name is not resolving. I tried a fresh install on pbx99 and the same thing happens. Are you able to install on another VPS?

Open the Internet Browser using the following URL:

Correct me if Im wrong but shouldnt Elastix be configured to use the public vip instead of internal ip - (for example I setup a lamp stack on pbx66.cloudapp.net - no issues.
To access your Elastix System, using a separate workstation (PC/MAC/Linux)
Open the Internet Browser using the following URL:
http://40.121.19.1

Do you know which file I can modify to change and test this theory? don't you just hate noobs lol!

I opened up the standard ports on azure 80 443 and 22 and the same on centos
firewall-cmd --zone=public --query-port=443/tcp
yes
firewall-cmd --zone=public --query-port=80/tcp
yes

Azure provides the following:
DNS NAME
pbx77.cloudapp.net
HOST NAME
pbx77
PUBLIC VIRTUAL IP (VIP) ADDRESS
40.121.19.1
INTERNAL IP ADDRESS
100.78.254.76
I access the site and I ssh in using the public vip. When Elastix setup it says:
To access your Elastix System, using a separate workstation (PC/MAC/Linux)
Open the Internet Browser using the following URL:
http://100.78.254.76

After the install I did'nt change anything - which files (conf? host?) can I look at to trouble shoot this?

yep it connects

Tried both and yes 500 error
