ISO FreePBX 17 SNGDEB-PBX17-amd64-12-10-0-2504-1.iso and SNGDEB-PBX17-amd64-12-8-0-2503-1.iso borked install -> endless loop

and
SNGDEB-PBX17-amd64-12-8-0-2503-1.iso
and tried installing “pub” and “upg” always ends up in an install loop

I intervene install loop by going over to console2 (pressing ctrl+alt+2) logging in and running command

sudo systemctl disable sng-install-freepbx

system does one more reboot..
i log in again and download files in tmp

cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/FreePBX/sng_freepbx_debian_install/raw/master/sng_freepbx_debian_instal.sh -O /tmp/sng_freepbx_debian_install.sh

downgrade asterisk

sudo asterisk-version-switch


i downgraded to Asterisk 21 since it seems v22 and the installer of freepbx does not play nice with each other. ( press 5 and let the program do its job )

run installation again BUT without adding/updating asterisk

sudo bash /tmp/sng_freepbx_debian_install.sh --noasterisk

BIG thanks to abrasive found his solution in Freepbx install failing - #18 by abrasive

Nice screen grab and workaround - opened a ticket in GitHub to address this - [bug]: Installer stuck in a loop with Asterisk 22 but not Asterisk 21 · Issue #27 · FreePBX/sngfd12 · GitHub
