HOWTO Content Of OPT Directory

Under '/opt' you have 2 PBXware related directories:

httpd
pbxware

httpd - Setup Wizard/Licenser is a kind of controller for 'pbxware' chroot. Httpd is not a chroot and is the only part of the system which requires root privileges. In 'httpd/bin' you have application 'mini_httpd' which will bind to port '81' by default.

pbxware - Consist of a chroot, with no root privileges, and several important processes -

PBXware daemon (dialling logic, controlling logic),
Asterisk,
Sitemanager GUI, and
several other utils required for normal operation

sitemanager - pre 3.0 GUI had its own chroot in /home/servers/sitemanager but on 3.x systems it is part of the pbxware chroot in /opt/pbxware/pw/gui folder
