FreePBX is an open-source software designed to manage and maintain PBX systems. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install FreePBX on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before you proceed, ensure that you have an Ubuntu Server Latest already installed and running.
The first step is to update your system packages to the latest available version.
To do this, run the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
To install FreePBX on Ubuntu, you need to install some dependencies. These dependencies include the Apache web server, PHP, MariaDB, and some PHP modules.
To install these dependencies, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server mariadb-client php php-curl php-cli php-mysql php-gd php-pear php-xml libapache2-mod-php -y
Download the FreePBX installation script from the official website using the wget command.
cd /usr/src/
sudo wget https://mirror.freepbx.org/modules/packages/freepbx/freepbx-15.0-latest.tgz
sudo tar -zxvf freepbx-15.0-latest.tgz
cd freepbx-15.0/
Now you can run the installation script by executing the following command:
sudo ./install
The installation process may take several minutes to complete.
Once the installation is completed, you can start FreePBX service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start freepbx
sudo systemctl enable freepbx
You can verify the status of the FreePBX service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status freepbx
If the service is running successfully, you should see the output as "Active (running)".
By default, FreePBX uses port 80 and 443 for HTTP and HTTPS traffic. You need to allow these ports in your firewall to access the FreePBX web interface.
To allow these ports, you can run the following commands:
sudo ufw allow http
sudo ufw allow https
FreePBX web interface can be accessed at http://
Open your web browser and enter the FreePBX URL in the address bar. You can now log in to FreePBX with the default credentials: Username: "admin" and Password: "admin".
Congratulations! You have successfully installed FreePBX on Ubuntu Server Latest. You can now start configuring and managing your PBX system through the FreePBX web interface.
