When reloading, permissions on files within /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin change from “-rwxrwxrwx 1 asterisk asterisk” to “-rwxrwx— 1 asterisk asterisk”, and as dial-parties is then unuseable, calls fail to reach extensions. Is there any reason this would be happening, and what can I do to change it? I am running FPBX 2.9.0.7 with Asterisk 1.8.
Please let me know if I can provide any additional information.
This appears to be a duplicate of this thread, where my configuration is almost identical to the OP:
http://www.freepbx.org/forum/freepbx/users/agi-files-permissions-change
There was no resolution to this. My httpd.conf is also set to user:asterisk group:asterisk. I have not tried changing owner to root, nor do i want to. Where do I set how the permissions are defined?
I have noticed, however, that there is one instance of httpd running as root:
root 4758 0.0 0.4 260768 12404 ? Ss Oct10 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
asterisk 4897 0.0 1.3 349720 42876 ? S Oct10 0:26 /usr/sbin/httpd

root 17935 0.0 0.0 61196 768 pts/2 S+ 11:32 0:00 grep httpdWhat DID change prior to this happening was that I added space to the LVM asterisk is on. I can’t think of why that would break things, but maybe someone has more insight than I do. Any thoughts?
More thoughts…
The instance running as root has state flag Ss; indicating that it is the session leader. Would this have some effect on the issue I am seeing?
I believe I missed a really important bit in the duplicate thread. Asterisk is running as root right now:

root 12551 0.0 0.0 61196 768 pts/1 S+ 12:53 0:00 grep asteriskI did not have this trouble before increasing the size of the LVM on the PBX. Everything loaded fine, applying settings did not change anything. Right now I just need to get asterisk running as asterisk; does anyone have any idea how I can revert this?
Just found something that may make a difference; /etc/sysconfig/asterisk has USER/GROUP commented out. I will enable them, and see how that changes things. If anyone has any thoughts on any negative side effects this may have, please let me know. As far as I can tell permissions are right everywhere; the issue is asterisk not being run as asterisk.
Uncommented those lines and asterisk is now running as asterisk. Clicking apply does not appear to break things; we will see if this stays true tomorrow during service.
