I give up!

[WLR275]

Been trying to reinstall FusionPBX following the quick install guide and it just keeps failing. Ubuntu, Debian 12 &13 all fail during the ngix web server.
The system used to work perfect before all of this upgrade. My old system was taken out by lightning during the summer and I just thought I would build a new server. Well, the install script at that time was broken (it's mentioned in a few posts) so I waited a while and thought I'd try it again, but now this BS.
I've tried 3 different computers and they all fail the same.
So, I'm done with FusionPBX.
I don't care who flames me for sharing my honest thoughts and opinions.
I appreciate that I was able to use FusionPBX for a while, but I give up.

@WLR275 Did you try calling our support number during support hours?

The FusionPBX support number is listed there.
- https://www.fusionpbx.com/support

The FusionPBX website download shows an install for Debian 12 or Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- https://www.fusionpbx.com/download

Here are tests. I personally performed this morning on 18 November 2025.

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Install
- Install: Success
- Used test server on vultr.com
- Web interface came up fine. Logged in with no problem.
- Menu -> Status -> SIP Status shows that FreeSWITCH is running.
- Reboot after install not required

Debian 12
- Install: Success
- Used test server on vultr.com
- Web interface came up fine. Logged in with no problem.
- Menu -> Status -> SIP Status shows that FreeSWITCH is running.
- Reboot after install is required. There is a notice at the end of the install saying that reboot is required.

The reboot message for Debian is easy to overlook.

We don't list Debian 13 as production ready yet. I suspect with Ubuntu you tried a different version than listed or something to do with virtualization.

As to the people encouraging you to use their solution. They are biased and still using an older version and older version of FusionPBX.

I've installed 2 fusionpbx servers today on debian 12 at digitalocean. Went as expected no drama. As @markjcrane mentions it's easy to overlook the reboot. Done it myself a few times and had to go again
