FreePBX showing "Cannot Connect to Asterisk"

[Zayed]

Hello!

On my GUI, I’m getting a message in red saying “Cannot Connect to Asterisk”. I ran asterisk -r and connected successfully. I also ran fwconsole restart and got the messages,

It is likely asterisk is running as root. Asterisk should be started through fwconsole start. If it is run my systemd or manually then the permissions will be incorrect.

Hello!

As I have mentioned, performing the command fwconsole restart just gives an error for Asterisk.

ps aux|grep asterisk

Is it already running though? Is something else setup to start it instead of FreePBX?

When I run this now after updating ubuntu I get this,

I see this when either trying to run a command without root access or if the database is broken. One is obviously a much worse situation.
