FusionPBX for ex-Trixbox users

This blog is intended to be read in sequential order as it is a series of steps that I followed to build a fully functioning fusionpbx phone system. However you might just need to find out how to do a particular thing so you might want to use the search box below to find that specific step. Please give feedback - if you know a better way to do something share it!

A trap for young players...modules

One of the nice things about FusionPBX (unlike FreePBX as used in Trixbox) is that by default, customisations you have made to freeswitch are not overwritten.  However, this can be a trap for you if you are not careful.

For example, I made the mistake of assuming that what I saw on the Modules configuration page in FusionPBX were actually the settings that were configured in Freeswitch.  This is not the case by default - in order to protect any customisations that people have made directly in freeswitch to which modules are loaded (some people might not want to use the module GUI in FusionPBX and might prefer working directly with Freeswitch).  If you find that a module that you are expecting to be enabled is not working, go to the Modules page and edit any module setting, you don't need to actually make a change, just save the settings as they are.  Then apply your settings.  What you achieve by doing this is that you commit these settings into freeswitch/conf/autoload_configs/modules.conf.xml.  You can actually see the settings in the FusionPBX XML editor under autoload_configs/modules.conf.xml.  If the settings in there don't match the settings you see on the modules page, and you want them to, then you will need to do these same steps as I did also.
