NEW IncrediblePBX 2026-Debian13-Ubuntu26.04 + VM platforms

[Wonecue]

Hello all, I upgraded one of our locations to FreePbx 17 and have had nothing but issues. It appears to loose configurations and is really unreliable. I would like to switch to Nerdvittles Version. I have faith in Ward's work and have used it over the years. I have downloaded the new files and will install. Best to all.

Let us know how it goes for you., and if there's any issues.

Incredible PBX is not going to solve issues that exist within FreePBX. Incredible PBX sits on top of FreePBX so an issue in the Ring Group module, for example, will exist on both systems because FreePBX controls the Ring Group module.

What do you mean by it looses configuration? What configuration is it losing? What exactly isn't working?

Let's focus on the Incredible PBX 2026 for @Wonecue and see if he still has issues. Troubleshooting upgrades from older versions to FreePBX 17 is an endless task, unsuitable for mere mortals.

I've updated the Incredible PBX 2026 installer to now support both Debian 13 and Ubuntu 26.04 server platforms. Let me know if you experience any problems. https://nerdvittles.com/introducing-incredible-pbx-2026-for-debian-13/

Just installed Incredible PBX 2026 on Debian 13.6. The install takes over resolv.conf and totally eliminates the DNS servers I have listed in the interfaces file.

No DNS names resolve now.

What did the install change? Did it switch to systemd-resolved?

You can reset resolv.conf to anything you like. The installer changes it to 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 IIRC.
Issue chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf before editing the file.

Thank you, that worked.

I'm just browsing through the settings on the web interface, and the Asterisk Info says I'm on version 19.0. I selected version 22 during install.

From the root login to your system, issue this commands to verify what you are running. FreePBX may or not realize your version number.

asterisk -rvvvvv
core show version

If it shows Asterisk 22, you're good. If not, something went poorly during your install. IncrediblePBX-2026 does not reference or download Asterisk 19 in any way, shape or form.

The other place to check is via the GUI at Settings > Advanced Settings and look for the field below. It should be empty or set to 22 in your case:

If you restored a FreePBX backup from an older system, that field might be set to whatever it was in the backup.

Your second suggestion solved it. I cleared that setting and it's reporting properly now.

Thanks
