FreePBX 17 New install after restoring from FreePBX 15 full backup

Installation Process:
Installed on Dell Poweredge T130
Followed instructions on FreePBX Open Source - Install v17 with ISO Distro
Auto FreePBX 17 “PUB” install. (Have Sangoma A200 card installed)

Able to dial and communicate with another internal extension. Echo test works.

Problems:

1 - After selecting Connectivity:Firewall, a red message at top of screen displays:
Hostname “127.0.0.1\r\n208…(a long string of ip addresses)\n”, IP address not resolved.

Intrusion Detection tab shows a red band with a string of backslash-separated ip addresses in the Whitelist under the Delete Custom Whitelist button. Other addresses show in white.

Clicking the Delete Custom Whitelist displays:
Undefined variable $list
File:/var/www/html/admin/modules/firewall/Firewall.class.php:1243

2 - UCP Error log is filling up with: 2026-08-04 10:18 -07:00: There was an error with Asterisk Manager Connection
Note: UCP is working for my extension - have not tested others.

Asterisk Full log shows: multiple lines of :
[2026-08-04 10:22:17] NOTICE[104757] manager.c: 127.0.0.1 tried to authenticate with nonexistent user ‘ucp_events’
[2026-08-04 10:22:17] NOTICE[104757] manager.c: 127.0.0.1 failed to authenticate as ‘ucp_events’

How can I fix these?

Update all your modules and then re-restore your backup - it looks like several settings got missed in the restore - Make sure to update Core specifically - the one on the ISO is broken for restores.

Similar to this: Restore to FreePBX 17 is broken again…Here is a Workaround - FreePBX / Installation / Upgrade - FreePBX Community Forums

No joy on that fix. It came back up with the same errors after the module update and restore.

First issue regarding firewall looks like list formatting issue in the underlying database table row – possibly some newlines got embedded where they shouldn’t. Seems like workaround in firewall code could address this.

For the second issue regarding new UCP AMI user activation, please see related post:
