I’m building a new system rather than trying to move my current Trixbox installation over to FreePBX in the hopes that it’s a cleaner install.
I’ve put together a new FreePBX 2.9.0.7 installation and have configured my extensions, trunks, etc. with the exception that I have not defined the endpoints in the extensions yet, and I currently have the trunks disabled so as not to create a conflict with the existing Trixbox machine.
When I try to open the FOP in it starts to load then gives me a “Couldn’t load variables.txt?aldope=23077” error. If I retry, the numbers at the end change each time but the rest of the error remains the same. I get the same results with multiple browsers and from the Panel tab in the FreeBPX Admin screen.
Under the advanced settings tab for the Flash Operating Panel I currently have:
Disable FOP False
FOP Password combination of text, symbols, and numbers
FOP Sort Mode Extension
Start FOP with amportal False
Thanks. I had tried changing amportal False to true without success. After reading your post I realized I’d need to restart the server before it would take effect. That worked.
Hello, I have the same problem as the OP but when I attempt to run amportal restart_fop, I get the following and error:
amportal restart_fop
Please wait…
STOPPING FOP SERVER
STARTING ASTERISK
Asterisk is already running
STARTING FOP SERVER
Can’t listen to port 4445
The FOP’s server (op_server.pl) could not start!
Please correct this problem
I am using the FreePBX Distro, 1.87.29.55. FreePBX 2.9.0.7 and I did not upgrade from standard FOP. I just install FOP2.
Please advise.
EDIT: It at least appears to be working at the GUI level…it shows that OP Panel is ok, but I still get an error suggesting that it cannot start the FOP server…still curious about what could be going on.
