It looks like you destroyed your system. When you tried to downgrade PHP it looks like you deleted Asterisk and probably many dependencies.

How was this originally installed?

I hope you made a backup in FreePBX.

No asterisk is working fine, Phones are registering and I am able to call through the system, just only that freepbx not working at all.I am having backup of all those files in the /etc/asterisk/ folder.

The real config is in the database /etc/asterisk won’t get you anywhere.

You are correct, Asterisk is fine I read too fast, it’s the run directory that can’t be found.

Check if Mysql is running, make sure that the /etc/freepbx.conf matches your mysql credentials.

Kill all asterisk then do an amportal stop then amportal start (don’t try and do an amportal restart).

I stopped all the asterisk services, and then tried an amportal stop. then i am getting this.
Please wait…

Are you sure you installed all of the required php packages ?

This looks like you missed something.
