What he said. I have FreePBX running on many machines ranging from 8.0 to 9-CURRENT. It wasn't that hard to get working provided you're preapred to make the following compromises: 1. Symlink /usr/local/etc/asterisk to /etc/asterisk 2. Symlink /usr/local/bin/php to /usr/bin/php 3. Put amportal.conf in /etc You will need to perform several post install chores: 1. Put your www user into group asterisk 2. Fix all the errors that reloading FreePBX shows when it reloads and updates modules. These will mostly be permission related. I think the only module that doesn't install correctly is fw_langpacks (localization updates) because it uses the -u option to cp. The linux cp man page says "copy only when the SOURCE file is newer than the destination file or when the destination file is missing" and our cp doesn't have an equivalent option. I haven't had the time to produce a patch that uses install instead when the OS is FreeBSD or to make a compatibility patch to our cp.
