I disabled the FreePBX gui from overwriting the config files however I need to get the SMS web page working again. I found the dialplan for incoming SMS and that seems okay but not sure what I lost to get the text from the SMS page to the dongle . Was there something in an extensions.conf or extensions_X.conf for sending SMS??
On a related note I have to use a Raspberry Pi 1 as I can not get stable enough power for a Pi3 and 3 dongles on the antenna mast where it is mounted (see why below), so I want to totally remove the FreePBX GUI. How can I remove the freePBX GUI and keep the SMS page working? I tried this on an earlier install and upon removal of freepbx , Asterisk seemed to complain a lot, with a lot of "warnings".
I am using this for rual telephony....
I have a raspberry Pi model B (lower power requirement), Powerd USB hub running from a 5V buck converter. This buck converter is fed from what arrives as 9V up 2 extra pairs of ethernet cable , and is fed on the other end of the cable, inside the house from a 12V 4A powneedneeder supply. The power to the Pi, as-is, is still precarious and I may need to go to only 2 dongles. This is in a weatherproof box and mounted on an antenna mast, which is the only place I can get a reliable signal. I still get only 4.98 V out of USB hub and it appears the Pi has 5.02V . Tjhese measurements when all is running. SOmetimes when I make a call non one dongle , I see another dongle "disconnect" in asterisk CLI
Thanks

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Did you try to only disable FreePBX, but keep Apache enabled? In this case the sms webpage should still be there. Once you set up everything with FreePBX enabled you should still be able to use the sms feature with everything even after disabling FreePBX.
Nonetheless, I'm not sure if you really gain much by disabling FreePBX, it won't change much on your power budget. Most of the power will be required by the dongles during an active call.
