Amportal commands don't work, blank admin web page,

PBX is using Freepbx12 on 32 bit Ubuntu (14.04.1 LTS). Manual install. Getting blank admin gui page, amportal commands return nothing. Asterisk is running. MySQL is running. No calls going through. Rebooting server doesn’t help. Can get into asterisk CLI.

Where do I start?

Contents of /usr/local/sbin/amportal were empty. I noticed there was an amportal.bak, so I made a copy and renamed it to amportal. Now when I run amportal it shows as “Please wait…”.

There is something funky going on in the var/www/ directory. It seems every file in the var/www/ directory is there but showing 0kb, like everything in them got wiped.

Look for hidden files, weird cron jobs, extra dialplan added to extensions_custom.conf, stuff like that. It sounds like your server has been compromised. Did you have the /recordings (old user interface before UCP) enabled? In the past, there were some vulnerabilities there that could allow an attacker to control your system.

The system is not open to the internet, so if it was compromised it would have to be from an internal source. Something happened after I enabled the CDR reports module.

I copied the entire www directory from a similar system and am setting permissions recursively on the folder for 0755 and owner asterisk (since amportal chown isn’t working). Hopefully this works.

The web GUI is partially back up. I can log into it but many of the menu options are greyed out (Asterisk is not running it says, even though it is). Disconnect somewhere between FreePBX and Asterisk?

is asterisk running as root

How can I tell? Sorry I’m not too familiar with Asterisk/FreePBX. Have to do everything manually as none of the amportal commands are working.

Ran amportal a ma refreshsignatures and it found framework signature invalid. Then I did a amportal a reload and results in

Please wait...

Ended up having to replace the modules.conf in etc/asterisk as it had one line. Asterisk and FreePBX seem to be working and now I can hit “apply config”. Calls are working now too.
