I've been running FreePBX on FreeBSD since 2.5.1 and use the upgrade process to upgrade. There have been very few problems with the upgrade. The only consistent issue is with fw_langpacks because it uses an incompatible option to cp '-u' which according to the Linux manual performs the "copy only when the SOURCE file is newer than the destination file or when the destination file is missing". This was the patch I mentioned, although I need to re-write it. I'm not sure whether its best to add the option to FreeBSD's cp, or to change the installer in the FreePBX module to 'install'. I submitted several patches to FreePBX to improve compatibility with php-5.3 which was a few versions ahead of the php used for FreePBX development at the time. My shortcoming is that I do not understand the ports collection, even superficially, to attempt to port FreePBX. I always just install it from an older tar (freepbx-2.5.1.tar.gz) and upgrade through the web interface. That said, if you can spare the time, maybe we can finish the port, although my time is short. FWIW, php.ini needs the following mods: memory_limit = 128M display_errors = Off log_errors = On error_log = stderr magic_quotes_gpc = Off Specifically the errors settings prevent issues in phpagi from landing on stdout and being interpreted by asterisk as manager commands.
