Michael,

Maybe I should clarify this a little further.  The actual credit card processing is running on a separate server, however the FreeSWITCH server does collect the credit card number off the caller and offload this to the transaction server for processing.  Therefore, the FreeSWITCH server (running on CentOS 6.7) is directly involved and needs to be PCI compliant.  I hope this now makes more sense.

I noticed this thread has ballooned a little out-of-control.

Perhaps this thread should stop here.

I will attempt to build the latest production version (1.6.x) on CentOS 6.7 without video (by commenting those features out inside modules.conf) prior to the build taking place and provide an installation document here (in a similar way as I did for CentOS 7).  I am sure I can get this up and running.

Regards,

Andrew Keil

That's poor planning; they need to split up networks and minimize PCI scope. Anyone that's finding PCI applying to their non-payment systems is doing it very wrong (and the costs will balloon). This is one huge reason why companies that offload handling of PAN like BrainTree and Stripe got so big - they make your PCI scope negligible.

No they do not, however it is at the same site and for PCI compliance all systems involved needed to be locked down.

Does your clients actually run the credit card processing on the same server as freeswitch??
