Fresh install on VPS.
Debian 8.7 / FreePbx 13.
Followed: “Installing FreePBX 13 on Debian 8.1”
Here is what happens:
STARTING ASTERISK
Asterisk Started
root@vps103799:/usr/src/freepbx# ./install -n
Assuming you are Database Root
Checking if SELinux is enabled…Its not (good)!
No /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf file detected. Installing…Writing /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf…Done
Checking if Asterisk is running and we can talk to it as the ‘asterisk’ user…Error!
Error communicating with Asterisk. Ensure that Asterisk is properly installed and running as the asterisk user
Asterisk does not appear to be running
Try starting Asterisk with the ‘./start_asterisk start’ command in this directory
So I do that and get:
root@vps103799:/usr/src/freepbx# ./start_asterisk start
STARTING ASTERISK
Asterisk is already running
root@vps103799:/usr/src/freepbx#
I looked at what you suggested but it does not say much to me. It looks like asterisk is running as the “root user”, but I am not certain of this. How do I make it run as the “asterisk user”?
Do you have any idea of where I screwed up in the official tutorial?
Thanks again for your time,
Rob.
