FreePBX Upgrade From 11 To 12 Php-Xml Install

General Help
1

I upgraded from FreePBX 11 to 12, followed the install instructions and now I’m getting this message on the system status page.

PHP-XML isn’t installed.

PHP-XML is a requirement of PHP SysInfo. System Statistics are disabled until that package is installed.
This can be resolved by installing the ‘php-xml’ package on most distributions, and then restarting Apache.

Does this mean I have to install another module within FreePBX, or does it mean install php-xml from the CentOS command line? I’m guessing the command would be “sudo yum install php-xml”. Just wanted to double check before doing something stupid!

So I went ahead and installed php-xml with the command listed above. I restarted Apache with “sudo service httpd restart”. After this when I log in the FreePBX administration web portal I get directed to the status page like always. However the status pages shows Welcome to FreePBX and under that it says Frobulating. That is all I get, and if I click to browse to any other page while logged in it sends me back to the log in page. The phone system still works as expected, but this isn’t good!

Anyone have this issue or any advice to how to fix it?

Saw this in a similar post to debug run the command “amportal a dbug” then login to the FreePBX admin interface. Here is the output, looks like a permission issue?

After diving a little deeper I found the command “amportal chown” which will set the appropriate file permissions on the needed files. After running this command all was working, hope this helps someone else with this issue in the future!
