SOLVED: (Phew!!)
Based on another post I changed the secret= in /etc/asterisk/manager.conf
to match Settings->Advanced->Asterisk Manager Password
It did not match originally.
Note that the red “Can Not Connect To Asterisk” label comes up and stays for a few minutes. I Guess asterisk is taking longer to start.
Upgrade process had a problem with kvstore.sipsettings
Ran this and solved it :
fwconsole ma downloadinstall sipsettings --tag 13.0.27.8
fwconsole ma upgrade sipsettings
then ran
./post_upgrade
The kvstore.sipsettings error disappeared, but “Asterisk not Running” came up twice.

When I started asterisk manually and ran fwconsole start:
[root@localhost ~]# service asterisk start
Starting asterisk (via systemctl): [ OK ]
[root@localhost ~]# ^C
[root@localhost ~]# fwconsole start
Asterisk already running
Seemed ok, but the Freepbx GUI still says “can not connect to asterisk”
