Hi,
I did an upgrade from FreePBX Module Admin. I also did a yum update.
After this I realised I’d lost my 4 DAHDI channels.
I decided to restore from backup.
Since then I cannot access FreePBX admin. I just get a white screen at http://192.168.1.250/admin/config.php
Digium have just helped me get my 4 DAHDI channels working again (the updates had over-written some config). All other telecom functions seem to work (ie I can make and receive calls). BUT I cannot access FreePBX which is where I do all my administration from. I’m not good with command line stuff.
Can anyone please help me get FreePBX working again?
If you have any questions (eg what version of xyz are you using?) Please be sure to tell me what to type on the command line to find out!
Patrick
So, I guess what I am really asking is, is there a very of recovering or reinstalling FreePBX without upsetting my config?
Patrick
It seems that my updates are all out of sync.
Is there a way of updating all FreePBX modules from the command line?
I guess I am going to need to seek paid support to get this fixed?
Patrick
You can use the /var/lib/asterisk/bin/module_admin to manage modules. As with most any program a ‘?’ will display the arguments.
Thanks for your reply, but I have no idea how to use it!
How would I update the Core module for example?
Patrick
If you hit module_admin ? all your questions will be answered.
You are quite Linux challenged. You would probably be a lot less frustrated if you ready a beginners guide to Linux.
Anyway, one quirk of Linux is it does not automatically put the current directory in the search path.
You have to specify the current directory, it is always referred to as ‘.’
So ‘./module_admin ?’ will get you the help page.
Hope that works for you.
[root@vox ~]# cd /var/lib/asterisk/bin/
[root@vox bin]# module_admin ?
-bash: module_admin: command not found
If I look in the directory, I can see that module_admin is there:
[root@vox bin]# dir
ampbackup.php callerid_updater.php freepbx_engine_hook_fw_fop retrieve_conf
ampbackup.pl caller_updater.php freepbx_setting retrieve_op_conf_from_mysql.php

Hi SkyKingOH
Yes indeed! I think I started this thread by saying that I am indeed quite Linux-challenged! That’s why I depend on the wonderful FrePBX interface. Thanks for your patience.
Right… I’m getting there…
Presumably if I use the command -
./module_admin upgradeall
- I might stand a chance of recovering things? (Or will have have to understand about all the dependancies and install modules one at a time?)
Patrick
You can try that, it may be an easy fix. I would thing you are going to have to get core and framework working first.
Here’s module status which explains why nothing works -
[root@vox bin]# ./module_admin list

Sorry if I look very thick. Thanks again for your patience.
Not thick, just wondering how it got this screwed up. Do you have the FreePBX yum file in etc/repos.d ??
I dont appear to have a directory called repos.d
I have a directory called yum.repos.d
This must be a AsteriskNow install and anytime you do a yum update it installs a new FreePBX RPM which breaks your existing systems. That is how it got broke.
If Tony is right and you are running AsteriskNow you are going to struggle to fix it without Linux knowledge.
The various Distro’s all do things differently. It seems that FreePBX was an afterthought on AsteriskNow.
You might want to buy an a support package and let an expert solve this for you.
Yes, it is AsteriskNOW. So… I should avoid yum updates in future, is that right?
Right… looks like I need to spend some money on support. Thanks for your input guys.

The only other command I did last night was a ‘reload’. Since then,none of my three trunks work and I cant even make internal call! Arrggggh! It’s gone critical.
