Critical Error retrieve_conf failed, config not applied

FreePBX Installation / Upgrade
1

Specs :

Virtual Machine Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2
Asterisk : 1.4.21.2
Asterisk-addons : 1.4.7

FreePBX 2.5.0.0

I am fairly new to linux and completed the installation proces of FreePBX 2.5.0.0 yesterday, it toke me a lot of time solving all the errors I had before (during install of ./install_amp) . Mainly restriction / permissions errors .

The first time I installed I got stuck but I gave it a second try . In that second try I got several permission errors . I cant recall all of them exactly , but in order to solve them I "chmod 777 "ed :

/srv/www
/var/lib/asterisk/bin
/etc/asterisk
/usr/lib/asterisk

And all subdirectory’s / files, I am aware this is not what I want security wise . But it was the quickest way for me to get the installation forward.

I’ve tried to run retrieve_conf (-rwxrwxrwx) with the file set to owner asterisk aswell as root. The error I get remains the same :

Please update your modules and reload Asterisk by visiting http://localhost/admin

(AMPMGRPASS = xxxxxxx WHICH IS THE SAME IN manager.conf [admin] secret)

My question is; how do I solve this so the “Critical Error retrieve_conf failed, config not applied” error is removed from my freepbx interface ?

Well I hope I’ve specified enough if some important details are missing I’d be happy to add them .

(BTW I found a simulare topic http://www.freepbx.org/forum/freepbx/users/reload-failed-because-retrieve-conf-encountered-an-error-126#comment-15015 and got directed to start a new topic so here it is)

The problem is solved the key was “Queues module may not be installed” .

I solved this by simply installing that module via the interface>module admin>check for updates online. It than appeared and was ready to be installed.
