Hello everyone,
I’ve compiled/installed the following:
Asterisk 1.8.3.3
Addons 1.6.2.4
libpri 1.4.12
FreePBX 2.10.0
Webmin 1.590
on a Debian 6 Squeeze fresh machine.
Problem is that FreePBX starts, logs in the panel, make and save editings like normal but doesn’t apply configurations to Asterisk, that is: Asterisk configuration files are not edited on “Apply Config”.
DEBUG:
All files are correctly asterisk:asterisk owned and even a full 777 doesn’t solve. Ok, debug-time.
I went to “/etc/asterisk” and “extensions.conf”, “sip.conf” and few others where the original Asterisk files, not those with “AUTO-GENERATED FILE…”, while all the “_additional” and “_custom” where correctly there.
I digged into it for long and I arrived to /var/lib/asterisk/bin/retrieve_conf (the one called on “Apply Config”) trying to find out the code that substitutes these files (since if I remove i.e. “extensions.conf” and apply, it gets created correctly this time).
Found, it was around line 131, the method “do_symlink(…)” and debuged it.
This is the method:
// stripped comments for the sake of clearity
function do_symlink($src, $dest, $subdir, $moduledir) {
if (file_exists_wrapper($dest)) {
if ((!is_link($dest) || readlink($dest) != $src) && (md5_file($src) == md5_file($dest))) {
// nothing.
} else if (!is_link($dest)) {
// ### passes here: finds original files (not links) and leaves them there as are
freepbx_log(FPBX_LOG_ERROR, $dest.' already exists, and is not a symlink!');
$this->symlink_error_modules .= "<br /> ".$dest." from ".basename($moduledir)."/".$subdir." (Already exists, not a link)";
} else if (readlink($dest) != $src) {
freepbx_log(FPBX_LOG_ERROR, $dest.' already exists, and is linked to something else!');
$this->symlink_error_modules .= "<br /> ".$dest." from ".basename($moduledir)."/".$subdir." (Already exists, linked to something else)";
}
} else {
// // symlink, unlike copy, doesn't overwrite - have to delete first
// if (is_link($dest) || file_exists($dest)) {
// unlink($dest);
// }
if (!symlink($src, $dest)) {
freepbx_log(FPBX_LOG_ERROR, 'Cannot symlink '.$src.' to '.$dest.'. Check Permissions?');
}
}
}
So from the code sounds like those file should alredy be substituted at this time, so I could also remove manually original “.conf” files and let FreePBX create them back (I got the exact list), or force in code this substitution, but i don’t know what this could determine so I fear to mess something somewhere else.
Sounds like some step was miss during installation (those original files shouldn’t be there, right?): at what point of FreePBX installation Asterisk configuration files get substituted?
What’s your thoughts so far?
Thank you in advance.
