FreePBX 17 Installation Issues

FreePBX Development

I attempted to open the following issues at https://issues.freepbx.org/ but that the site is not currently operational (403 Forbidden / Request forbidden by administrative rules). Todd at Sangoma advised me that FreePBX 17 issues are being addressed by the developers on the Community Forum for the time being.

While adding FreePBX 17 support to [PBX] FreePBX for the Raspberry Pi - VOIP Tech Chat | DSLReports Forums, I encountered the following three issues:

Issue #1
A successfull install returns a non-zero result code:

As of 16/1/24 Freepbx 17 still does not install on Debian 12 VM and Ubuntu 24.04 VM.Tested on internet in a box as per @reraikes and A.Holtā€™s internet in a box scripts.Unfortunately new users cannot post links to the issues encountered .
There is a ticket iiab/iiab#3675 in GitHub with background info regarding Freepbx 17 Beta installation.Below is snapshot of recent posts.
I got the same mysterious return code / exit status 1 right after it announced ā€œYou have successfully installed FreePBXā€ :

root@box:~# fwconsole reload
Reload Started

In DialplanHooks.class.php line 157:

Undefined variable $funclist

reload [ā€“json] [ā€“dry-run] [ā€“skip-registry-checks] [ā€“dont-reload-asterisk]

I can see the bug hereā€¦ If you have other modules installed this should go away though that doesnā€™t mean there isnā€™t a bug.

Basically there is just an uninitialized variable because you have no modulesā€¦

PR submitted: Fix uninitialized variable by jfinstrom Ā· Pull Request #93 Ā· FreePBX/framework Ā· GitHub @kgupta @lgaetz

Thereā€™s no bug here only a missing step.

cd /usr/local/src
wget http://mirror.freepbx.org/modules/packages/freepbx/freepbx-17.0-latest-EDGE.tgz
tar zxvf freepbx-17.0-latest-EDGE.tgz
cd /usr/local/src/freepbx/
./start_asterisk start
./install -n

Which the OP did but the next few steps are:

**fwconsole ma installall** (SKIPPED BY OP)
fwconsole reload
fwconsole restart

The OP skipped fwconsole ma install and went straight to the reload/restart which is going to fail.

Thank you all for your help in looking into it
@dicko.I am on PHP 8.2.7
