Failed open stream permission denied asterisk.conf

FreePBX Installation / Upgrade
1

I just installed from wiki.freepbx.org FreePBX 13 CentOS 7 following the direction exactly and it i was able to access the web interface at first however and restarting services I am getting:

On the web page
Whoops \ Exception \ ErrorException (E_WARNING)
file(/etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf): failed to open stream: Permission denied

In freepbx log:
CRITICAL admin/bootstrap.php:270 - Connection attmempt to AMI failed

This is my second install getting the exact same result. I assumed i did something wrong during the first install so I installed centos7 fresh and performed the install again.

I have run fwconsole chown
I have performed every step as root user
fwconsole reload / restart are successful
/etc/amportal.conf, /etc/freepbx.conf /etc/asterisk/*.conf are owned by asterisk:asterisk and are 664 -rw-rw-r–

I am not sure where to go from here and am not having success finding a resolution for this problem. I would appreciate any help you could throw my way. Thank you in advance.

is the one line I was worried about.

There is literally no reason this shouldn’t “just work” from what you posted.

did you disable selinux

8

holy crap, literally the first command i entered on this new sever was sestatus and it said permissive so i continued. I am not sure how that could or would have changed with anything i did but its now showing enabled/enforcing so i just disabled it and rebooted. All good. Ok i’m going to go crawl under a rock. lol.

Thank you!
