Reload failed because retrieve_conf encountered an error

FreePBX Installation / Upgrade
1

I’m having trouble getting my new installation of PBX in a Flash working. I’ve followed the steps in the installation guide but when I click on the orange line in the FreePBX gui to apply the changes I get the error message below.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to help resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Have you posted this on the PBX in a flash site? They have customized many things and you might have something that is just slightly out of wack.

sounds like Asterisk is not running, check the Status Panel.

Hi All,

Thanks for your input and suggestions. I did post the question on the pbx in a flash forum and the issue was finally resolved.

The link to the forum post on the pbx in a flash website is http://nerdvittles.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1359#post1359

Basically the issue was incompatible passwords between etc/asterisk/manager.conf and etc/amportal.conf

Seems if you change some of the passwords it get’s bent out of shape. Several of the posts say install it, leave it at all the defaults and it works. Change default passwords and things get wacked.

PBX in a Flash needs to create some routines to allow for password maintenance it looks like.
