General Help

here is the console output
e asterisk (does /run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl exist?)
[root@ec2-tel40 asterisk]# fwconsole start

In Start.class.php line 189:

Unable to connect to Asterisk. Did it start?

I believe its because I need to have the lib directory & spool in a diferetn place.

However asterisk will start if I tel systemd to start it.

Any ideas on what i need to fix. Asterisk does start with systemd as well as asterisk -c start at command prompt.

I’m curious if this is on a fresh install or if it’s on an old system that’s no longer working. If it’s a fresh install, which Distro are you using? Is it the SangomaOS?

Its Rhel 7, on a new install It worked for a few days until updates were done.

Do you know if asterisk is started on boot up? I’m curious if Asterisk has been started, but started under the incorrect user. If you execute ps auxf | grep asterisk on the console, what does it say?

Anyone have ideas why it won’t start

7

It’s running - right there.

If this isn’t the daemon you started (for example, if you started one by hand or have systemd starting it) then it might not be set up for FreePBX to manage it.

Maybe disable asterisk start on boot up and see if that fixes it? FreePBX may want to be thing thing that wants to start it I believe.

systemctl disable asterisk
