Hi all, I recently installed FreePBX Distro 10.13.66 on VirtualBox, and successfully imported it into AWS EC2 using Amazon's import guide.
The first issue I found that wasn't mentioned anywhere was that after starting the instance, the "lo" loopback adapter is always off. I had to make it re-enable it and make it activate on boot for the MySQL server to work again. After that I only needed to do a Zend reset and then the FreePBX Distro instance was up and running with no error notifications.
Next I made a SipStation account and made an extension to register to it. I got Zoiper Softphone on my Android and made a call to an external number. It makes and receives calls, but no audio on either end.
I made another extension with no trunk assigned. I used my Zoiper smartphone and then set up the Zoiper smartphone on my laptop. So, I used one Zoiper extension to call the other. In this case I only get one-way audio, and only the smartphone can call the PC, not the other way around, even though they're on the same subnet.
I've tried completely turning the Sangoma firewall off for a few minutes, I've tried setting the instance to an EC2 Security Group with all inbound/outbound traffic on all ports allowed, neither of these changes the results I'm getting.
Our own network and laptops have no firewalls, just a Peplink router doing NAT with basic DDoS protection.
I created a "Peplink FusionHub" instance alongside the FreePBX instance, which is a software router which lets our physical Peplink router create a dual-ISP VPN into the Amazon subnet. So, I can access the FreePBX instance with both the Amazon public IP, and directly at it's internal IP. I can register the softphones with both methods, but the no-audio and one-way audio behavior is the same.
Not looking forward to busting out Wireshark and going end-to-end on this thing to find the issue; does anyone have any quick insights first? Does anyone besides me on the forum actually run off Amazon EC2?
Thanks for the help!
