RESOLVED: System Overview shows Asterisk down, but it works anyways

1

I’ve been trying to patch Asterisk with a Cisco Phone fix. Today I started over with a fresh install, and I think I have it working now.

Everything looks good, and seems to be working.

But in the FreePBX GUI, the system overview shows Asterisk as down, however, FreePBX still acts like Asterisk is up.
I can add extensions, view Asterisk Info page, etc.

From CentOS, I’m also able to connect to Asterisk (asterisk -r)

Here is a log of all the commands I used to patch, I omitted feedback except when it was necesary to show a warning or information

Added the following, where appropriate:

%patch13 -p1

// Installing Asterisk here, I left out the following rpms:

That normally means the asterisk manager configuration is incorrect. If you installed the asterisk-config-samples RPM (or whatever it’s called), that overwrote /etc/asterisk/manager.conf.

You need to fix that so it matches what freepbx is expecting, or, fix freepbx so that it matches what’s in manager.conf

Thanks Rob

It seems to have resolved itself.

FreePBX now shows Asterisk as good. I didnt have to make any changes this time
