This thread is a year and a half old. There is now a script that makes migrating off unsupported systems trivially easy:

Thanks for the reply. I’m running centos 6 which I believe is supported. I used the Install guide located at:
http://wiki.freepbx.org/display/FOP/Installing+FreePBX+13+on+CentOS+6
If I issue a fwconsole restart. After a full system restart the issue disappears.
probably because asterisk is being started inappropriately in /etc/rc.local or by init.
Make sure it is not in /etc/rc.local
Then use chkconfig to see if it is in init…
# chkconfig --list asterisk
asterisk 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
If all those don’t say off there is your issue. Run the following.
checkconfig --del asterisk
In /etc/rc.local add
/usr/sbin/fwconsole start
Thanks so much for the reply. chkconfig was starting asterisk. I ran the command: checkconfig --del asterisk
However adding the line to /etc/rc.local
/usr/sbin/fwconsole start
Still doesn’t start Asterisk. After a reboot. Freepbx is showing red bar at top right. “can no connect to asterisk”.
After issuing a fwconsole start everything is ok.
I noticed /etc/init.d/rc.local doesn’t exisit. Any ideas?
[ro#ls -ls rc.local
4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 246 Apr 7 23:14 rc.local
So I added the line: /usr/sbin/fwconsole start
to: /etc/rc.d/rc.local
and it worked. Thanks for your help!
