I stopped by Nervittles to see what was new after being away from the site for many months. I am happily immersed in my new to me Incredible PBX 16-15 running on a pi 2 while I wait for the delivery of a pi 4. Looking forward to keeping up with the blog over the coming fall and winter months. I might suggest two edits in the entry 1. Reference "./configure-exim-email" for email config. A literal copy-paste of the "configure-exim-email" from the blog entry throws the expected command not found. 2. The linkage to email config tutorial in the Administration notes is resolving to a page does not exist. [WM: 1. The command is configure-exim-email without ./ as the article indicates. 2. Link works for me.]

You can connect the Pi directly to your WiFi network and avoid dragging out a keyboard by creating the wpa_supplicant.conf file and putting it the boot folder along with a file named ssh when you transfer the Incredible PBX 16-15 image to a microSD card. Then all you need to do is figure out the ip address of the pi by either connecting the pi to a monitor or by logging into your router and looking for a computer named incrediblepbx

New Blinkt! System Status utility is now available to display current status of most components on your PBX. Instructions and download available here.

I also found this, when I went to my FreePBX Admin page today:

You have 7 tampered files
File /etc/dahdi/modules does not exist.
File /etc/dahdi/system.conf does not exist.
File /etc/modprobe.d/dahdi.conf does not exist.

Is this due to an upgrade? or have I been hacked?

[WM: You didn’t mention whether you actually had upgraded certain modules on your PBX and, if so, which ones. If you did the upgrading then you probably haven’t been hacked. To remove the tampered files alerts, run /root/sig-fix.]

A few weeks ago I posted a comment about the User Control Panel not working. The comment never appeared on this page.Am trying again…

[WM: UCP if of little use to most deploying Incredible PBX on a RasPi. It’s designed for individual user access to limited features of the PBX. Since most RasPi deployments are for personal use, the FreePBX GUI typically suffices. Having said that, you can add UCP in Module Admin if desired.]

We talk about the Raspberry pi4, but will this PBX 16-15 work with 3b+?

[WM: Any Raspberry Pi from version 2 forward will work fine. Newer gets you better performance obviously, but 3B+ is great.]

This is so far ahead of RasPBX, I am eager to start playing around with it. Just a couple issues I want to mention here:

I was unable to access the web interface in a straightforward manner because:

1. The install script did not prompt me to create a password for the web interface

2. ‘/root/show-passwords’ does not display the web password

3. The setup instructions do not indicate that ‘/root/admin-pw-change’ is needed to configure the web password. (I see now that it is documented, but not in the context of the installation steps).

4. The setup instructions do not indicate that ‘admin’ is the account name for managing the web interface.

I got it straightened out, but these things need to be clarified for the new user.

On a 32 GB SD card, the dashboard complains about swap space:

"The swap space of your system is too low (137212 KB). You should have at least 200000 KB of swap space. This should be fixed as soon as possible. Once fixed issue a reload to remove this message."

— Is this something you still need to tweak on the install image, or is a 32 GB card just too small for this application? (The setup instructions dont say anything about storage requirements.)

[WM: When the install completes, the first thing you are told to do is run admin-pw-change to set the admin password for web access, but we’ll try to make it more clear. Thanks. As for SD card size, 16GB or larger is fine. You can adjust the swap file size with the following commands by modifying CONF_SWAPSIZE…]

dphys-swapfile swapoff
nano -w /etc/dphys-swapfile
dphys-swapfile swapon
/etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile restart
ls -all /var/swap
free -h

Since chrome doesn’t allow visiting non-httpS sites, how do I add a web certificate so I can use https (instead of http) to access the web gui control panels?

[WM: Chrome doesn’t block HTTP sites. It merely marks them as insecure. Carry on. The firewall has your back.]
