TIPS Elastix 4.0 and Incredible PBX install issues

[Travelstar]

Just managed to finally install Elastix 4.0 on an Intel NUC. Interestingly I ended up having to use the "Basic Graphical Install" option at the grub menu in order to get it to install due to some incompatibilities with Centos 7 and all of the Intel NUCs. That said, I have managed to update everything and also install Incredible PBX.

Whilst everything appears to be up and running, I cannot reach the web server for love nor money. I have checked that httpd is up and running which it is, but accessing the URL of my server yields absolutely nothing - I simply get a 'connection refused'. Also if I use pbxstatus it shows IPtables as down.

Any suggestions for this newbie to get things up and running? My Linux skills are so-so. It's been many years since I have played in this area, but things are thankfully coming back quick.

Probably the default centos (not ipbx) rules. If not publicly exposed try "iptables -I INPUT -j ACCEPT" to accept all traffic. If it works, reboot and craft more appropriate rules.

That worked a treat. Just assumed as I was able to SSH, I would not be blocked from web traffic.

Any recommendations on how to align the ipbx and iptables?

I ended up doing the following:

1. Stop and mask the firewalld service:

systemctl stop firewalld
systemctl mask firewalld

2. Enable the service at boot-time:

systemctl enable iptables

3. Managing the service

systemctl [stop|start|restart] iptables

I believe Centos 7 uses firewalld which was part of the problem. I know see iptables running in pbxstatus

Any suggestions on putting in default rules?
