Getting error after upgrading : [FATAL] Unable to connect to Asterisk Manager

Hi guys,

I just performed a manual upgrade using version upgrade scripts found here:
http://wiki.freepbx.org/display/PPS/FreePBX-Distro-5.211.65

My FreePBX version was 5.211.65-13 before the upgrade.

The script went smoothly, not reporting any error.

I rebooted the server and when I accessed the GUI, it was reporting the following error:

Error!
Reload failed because retrieve_conf encountered an error: 1
exit: 1
[FATAL] Unable to connect to Asterisk Manager from /var/lib/asterisk/bin/retrieve_conf, aborting
1 error(s) occurred, you should view the notification log on the dashboard or main screen to check for more details.

In the notification log of the dashboard it says this:

retrieve_conf failed, config not applied
Reload failed because retrieve_conf encountered an error: 1

Also the dashboard is reporting that Asterisk is not running.

Any idea what’s up?

What happens when you run fwconsole start. Also have to tried rebooting the server

Might be a good idea to set permissions

I think it’s fwconsole chown

I did a full reboot, that’s the first thing I tried.

Then I did a few commands just to make sure :slight_smile:

amportal chown
amportal restart
mysqlcheck --auto-repair -c -o --all-databases 

No changes at all.

FWCONSOLE doesn’t work at all, it is not recognized in console.

I tired to find any file called fwconsole and there’s no result…

Dammmmnnnnnn I just realized that the upgrade did NOT work…

[root@freepbx UpgradeScripts]# cat /etc/schmooze/pbx-version
5.211.65-13

So I don’t know what happened… here’s a full dump of the script “log”

Bonjour! (Hi!)

This didn’t start well since those two folders already existed when the system tried to create them…

I didn’t know you could set the distro to another locale like you did (it is set to French) but I am not sure it’s such a great thing since it makes it harder for other people to help you (with actually little gain to yourself) since not everyone here speaks French.

(I do and it’s actually my mother tongue…)

I would be tempted to remove that /usr/tmp/5.211.65-13 folder since it seems it should not be there but I am not sure about /etc/schmooze (and I don’t currently have access to my system to check what is in there…).

Good luck and have a nice day!

Nick

Damnit I just figured out I was trying to upgrade FROM 5.211.65-13 and TO 5.211.65-13…
I read the upgrade script page wrong, I thought you needed to select the version you were updating FROM… I’m retarded.
So I guess the script messed up my installation.

Now I’ve tried again with the appropriate script to be on latest version:
https://upgrades.freepbxdistro.org/stable/10.13.66/upgrade-10.13.66-1.sh

Now all hell broke loose.

My SQL tables are corrupt… everything is messed up.

Thank god this was a VM and I cloned it before upgrading.

Will revert back to the pre-war clone for now and will let go of running the newest version for a while.

You missed the important part:

All upgrades need to be installed in numeric ascending order. Do not skip any upgrade step. Upgrade scripts are not cumulative. Each upgrade script should be run in ascending order to get to the desired final version.

To upgrade from 5.211.65-13, you first need to run -14 and then -15 etc. up to -21. Then do the same thing again for the 6.12 branch, and then again for the 10.13 branch. You have dozens of scripts to run in sequence to get from where you are now.

Oh my GOD… man this seems like a gigantic task!

Wouldn’t it be quicker to somehow export all config and start over with a fresh install??

Possibly, you can migrate to a current system with this:
http://wiki.freepbx.org/display/PPS/Elastix+and+PBXinaFlash+to+FreePBX+Distro+Conversion+Tool

Ok so I just cloned my VM again and started with the very first script to upgrade from 5.211.65-13 to 5.211.65-14

Right off the bat I have the same problem, it whines that Asterisk is not running.

If I have to troubleshoot a few dozen of upgrades, I’ll kill myself.

I would like to do a clean install of the most recent version of FreePBX using the distro install.

What would be a best method to import all my settings from my actual FreePBX installation ?
