Conflicting upgrade info re: adv_recovery & Endpoint Manager

FreePBX 15.0.23 / all modules up to date

The System Overview window in the FreePBX Dashboard is saying:

Critical Errors Found:
You have a disabled module
The following modules are disabled because they need to be upgraded:
adv_recovery
You should go to the module admin page to fix these.

$ sudo fwconsole ma upgradeall

As I read the log above, it says Endpoint Manager 15.0.43.1 has been installed, then claims adv_recovery can’t be installed because Endpoint Manager 15.0.43.1 or higher is required.

Am I missing something obvious? Please advise.

And now, when I “Apply Config”, the following error message appears:

Error!
There was an error during reload: Unknown Error. Please run fwconsole reload --verbose

Here’s the result:

$ sudo fwconsole reload --verbose
[sudo] password for stewart:

Re-running “Apply Config” gives the same error as above.

Arghhhhhhhh!

From the Module Admin module it appears that Endpoint Manager 15.0.43.1 was not actually installed (as it appeared to say in the log referenced above), and remains at Endpoint Manager 15.0.39.49. I expect that the license for EPM has expired, but I really don’t intend to pay any more for EPM. So my questions now are:

  1. If adv_recovery is removed, will that fix my issue?
  2. If question 1 is yes, then how do I remove adv_recovery?

Hi @sgseidel
You are talking about 2 different issues here.

  1. Advanced recovery module getting disabled due to endpoint dependency.
  2. Error while running reload.

You can resolve issue number one by removing adv_recovery module (if you are not using) and rollback to endpoint module older version or purchase module update for EPM.

Issue number two seems to be coming from your custom configuration.

I’ve got the same issue. I uninstalled adv_recovery. Still can’t update endpoint manager. I also have purchased endpoint manager…

@psanddesh Thanks for your reply.

OK, issue #1, how do I remove adv_recovery?

Issue #2. I have been running FreePBX 15 for a couple of years, keeping FreePBX current with “sudo yum update” and “sudo fwconsole ma upgradeall” every few days as required. I have NEVER seen this issue. As far as I know I do not have a custom configuration, it’s pretty much stock.

Please advise. Thanks.

IF you’re using the paid version of EPM, upgrades require that the maintenance period be current.

If the module maintenance is current, you can upgrade with the command:

fwconsole ma downloadinstall endpoint --tag 15.0.43.3

Paid commercial modules with maintenance up to date include free support:

I’ve got maintenance current on epm.

I managed to uninstall adv_recovery (I’m not exactly sure what worked, but that’s another story). The system was rebooted and now after “Apply Config”, the “System Alert” box is green and “No critical issues” is displayed. This is good.

Thanks to all for your assistance.
