After I run the install command: bash /tmp/sng_freepbx_debian_install.sh

I get this error:

Just wondering if anyone has any clue what went wrong? Google turns up almost nothing. My server is a fresh install of Debian 12 and up to date.

Thanks.

The issue here is that the install script is trying to fix a problem that Debian already fixed on its own through its normal policies.

Before Trixie was released the install script had this:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

Now it has this:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free

That error is happening because the install script is trying to add that last repo and your Debian install is already pointing to it.

Comment out the lines in the install script that try to set the repo to bookworm and try again.

Thanks for the reply, I edited the file and commented out with “#” those lines but for some reason the script wont execute now. I did “chmod x file.sh” but didnt help. I’m running the script as root.

What kind of errors are you getting? Any output from the script?

5

no, nothing, I run the script it just exits back to the prompt.

Thanks for your help. I did get it installed by disabling the Debian repositories, then download new install script and install without modifications, then re-enable the Debian repositories.
