FPBX 17 fresh install getting the "Please Run: fwconsole reload --verbose" error

Fresh install using the script, all modules updated to latest version. I ran fwconsole chown. Wondering if there is anything else I should try?

This is what I get when running it from CLI as asterisk user.

# sudo -u asterisk fwconsole reload --verbose

In Network.class.php line 113:

/etc/network/interfaces is owner/group root with 660 permission. Changing it to 664 gets rid of the above error. Perhaps this permission change needs to be added to the install script and to fwconsole chown?

Run fwconsole as root

When looking up that error it was suggested to run as asterisk user to troubleshoot the cause.

fwconsole chown, which I run as root, does not get rid of the above error that only shows up when run as asterisk user.

I just got the same error and i ran upgradeall via shell yet still have the same problem in my test box for v17

The asterisk user has reduced privilege, you should be root to install, sudo is not sufficient

When you do this from the UI I believe it runs as asterisk user, so running as asterisk from cli is a way to troubleshoot that.

In any ‘shell’, a sudo (do as switched user) environment is NOT necessarily identical to the environment encountered by a root login, you can compare any differences with env in both.

su root would be a better choice

okay thanks, I just gutted the entire vm and it’s reinstall 17 now. Not sure what happened after I did updates but all hell broke loose. I made snapshots this time

After the rebuild and importing of ext, trunk and DID it’s running well except for this

The Asterisk REST Interface is Currently Disabled.

I checked the username and password of ARI and nothing with odd characters

thanks, that was it. I don’t ever remember having to enable that in the past.

If you want to be as close as possible then you should use su - instead.
