Failure to Apply Config

General Help
1

I just upgraded FreePBX to 15.0.11, and I can’t press “Apply Config” because when I do, I get this message: Unknown Error. Please Run: fwconsole reload --verbose I’ve run that command at least 10 times, nothing changes.

Also, when running the above command, this error message comes back: [Exception] Cron line added didn't remain in crontab on final check. Check /tmp/cron.error for reason.

And what does it say?

This is what it says:

[[email protected] ~]# /tmp/cron.error
/tmp/cron.error: line 1: -:22:: command not found
/tmp/cron.error: line 2: errors: command not found
/tmp/cron.error: line 5: -:22:: command not found

You’ve actually attempted to execute the file. To view a file’s contents use:

cat /tmp/cron.error

to share with us via a URL, pipe to pastebin like:

cat /tmp/cron.error | pastebin

Okay then, here’s what I got from running that:

[[email protected] ~]# cat /tmp/cron.error

crontab -l -uasterisk

Try ‘crontab -e -uasterisk’

Look at the lines and see the lines in your file say “&” instead of “&”. I doubt it, but if it does, that’s your problem.

Nope, they all say “&” like they’re supposed to. So that rules that out as the issue, but this is really stumping me. What could it be? I have some changes I made that need to be applied, and I still can’t press “Apply Config” without it returning the same error that started this thread.

There are only 21 lines in your current crontab, so whatever is getting added to the crontab is causing a problem.

Try this:
crontab -e -u asterisk
press “G”
press “A”
press “enter”
press “escape”
press “ZZ”

Spelling is important, so is case.

Try your fwconsole reload --verbose again and let us know if that helped.

Unfortunately no. I’m still getting the same error message!
