I am conducting an upgrade to FreePBX 16 from 13 in the process of moving from one host to another. I restored the most recent FreePBX full backup on the new host. When I connect to the web console for FreePBX I see a red banner stating that: Cannot Connect to Asterisk.
I have checked that the secret in /etc/asterisk/manager.conf matches that returned by mysql -e 'select keyword,value from asterisk.freepbx_settings where keyword = "ampmgrpass";'. I have verified that asterisk is running as the asterisk user. I have reloaded asterisk using asterisk -x "core reload" .
When I open Advanced Settings that page is blank other than the header boilerplate and the navigation menu and buttons.
That typically means that asterisk is not running. You should be able to connect to the CLI and try and restart asterisk using fwconsole restart. If asterisk is failing to start look at /var/log/asterisk/full for any errors that may be preventing asterisk from starting.

Connected to Asterisk 16.30.0 currently running on inet29 (pid = 14724)
[Jul 20 12:03:04] NOTICE[22446]: manager.c:3520 authenticate: 127.0.0.1 tried to authenticate with nonexistent user 'administrator'
[Jul 20 12:03:04] NOTICE[22446]: manager.c:3557 authenticate: 127.0.0.1 failed to authenticate as 'administrator'
Is this running Sangoma OS or a custom install on another OS? It looks like it’s already running/trying to start but running into some sort of auth issues.
To be honest I am not sure how it got to this point just from restoring from backup.
