SOLVED: Reload failed because retrieve_conf encountered an error: 1

Distro Discussion & Help

this error is on a brand new install made with FreePBX-64bit-10.13.66.img. I’ve just set up an extension using Application/Extensions/Quick Create Extension, when I clicked ‘Apply Config’ I get this:
Reload failed because retrieve_conf encountered an error: 1
when I click for more info I get this:

exit: 1
Exception: Cron line added didn’t remain in crontab on final check in file /var/www/html/admin/libraries/BMO/Cron.class.php on line 99

I see this forum has many entries about ‘Reload failed because retrieve_conf encountered an error: 1’ but none of them contain a fix for the errors I have.

update: 10 mins later (typical eh?
solution:
‘yum install crontabs’.
