    chkconfig --add freeswitch && chkconfig --levels 35 freeswitch on

modules.conf

  • uncomment the FreeSWITCH modules that are needed.

    mod_avmd
    mod_callcenter
    mod_memcache
    mod_cidlookup
    mod_curl
    mod_translate
  • Used for MP3 support

    make

Remove FreeSWITCH files

  • This step is only needed for a FreeSWITCH upgrade.
    Once it has been confirmed that the compile was successful then remove
    files from previous version of FreeSWITCH

    rm -rf /usr/local/freeswitch/{lib,mod,bin}/*

Install

    make install

File Permissions

  • Set the file permissions instructions may vary based on the OS and install directory.

Debian and Ubuntu

    chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/local/freeswitch

CentOS or Other Unix operating systems

  • Make sure that the web server has access to IVR recordings, Fax, and Voicemail.

    adduser --disabled-password  --quiet --system --home /usr/local/freeswitch --gecos "FreeSWITCH Voice Platform" --ingroup daemon freeswitch
    chown -R freeswitch:daemon /usr/local/freeswitch/ 
 chmod -R o-rwx /usr/local/freeswitch/

Install Sound Files

  • Run this on new installs.

    cd /usr/src/freeswitch
    make sounds-install moh-install
    make hd-sounds-install hd-moh-install
    make cd-sounds-install cd-moh-install

  • Make the script executable and make it auto start on system boot:

    chmod +x /etc/init.d/freeswitch
    update-rc.d freeswitch defaults

Monit

Used to monitor processes on UNIX systems.

http://mmonit.com/monit/

Install

    apt-get install monit
  • Edit Monit /etc/default/monit and set the “startup” variable to 1 in order to allow monit to start.

Configure

Fail2Ban

    cd /etc/monit.d
    touch fail2ban
    nano fail2ban
  • Add the following to the file and save it.

    check process fail2ban with pidfile /var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.pid
     group services
     start program = "/etc/init.d/fail2ban start"
     stop  program = "/etc/init.d/fail2ban stop"
     if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

SIP

  • To monitor SIP from local or remote server

    cd /etc/monit.d
    touch sip
    nano sip

    check host fusionpbx with address your-ip
        if failed port 5060 protocol sip with target monit@monit:5060
            then alert

FreeSWITCH

    cd /etc/monit/conf.d

or

    cd /etc/monit.d

    touch freeswitch
    nano freeswitch
  • Add the following

    #check process freeswitch with pidfile
    /usr/local/freeswitch/run/freeswitch.pid check process freeswitch
    with pidfile /run/freeswitch/freeswitch.pid start program =
    \"/usr/bin/service freeswitch start\" stop program =
    \"/usr/bin/service freeswitch stop\"

or

    #check process freeswitch with pidfile
    /usr/local/freeswitch/run/freeswitch.pid #start program =
    \"/usr/local/freeswitch/bin/./freeswitch -nc -u www-data\" #stop
    program = \"/usr/local/freeswitch/bin/./freeswitch -stop\" check
    process freeswitch with pidfile /run/freeswitch/freeswitch.pid start
    program = \"/usr/bin/./freeswitch -nc -u www-data\" stop program =
    \"/usr/bin/./freeswitch -stop\"

Additional Options

    if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout
    if cpu > 60% for 2 cycles then alert
    if cpu > 80% for 5 cycles then alert
    if totalmem > 2000.0 MB for 5 cycles then restart
    if children > 2500 then restart
  • Monit Daemon Add to the main monit config file

    #monit daemon
    set httpd port 2812 and
    use address localhost
    allow localhost
