I’m trying to install version 2.3.1 onto a Suse 10.1 machine that’s running asterisk v 1.4.9, MySQL 5.0 and PHP5.
When I run ‘amportal start’ it complains about not being able to start the FOP’s server as shown below. I’ve read a number of posts about this but I’m still having trouble.
I’ve tried being logged in as root and as asterisk, but no difference. All the files in /var/www/html/panel are owned by user/group asterisk/asterisk and the entry for asterisk in /etc/passswd indicates that it has bash access.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Howard

Try `kill --help’ for more information.
The FOP’s server (op_server.pl) could not start!
Please correct this problem
line 0: cd: /var/www/html/panel: Permission denied means that it does not have permission to execute. You checked the first place which is that the group and owner are set properly. But you need to also check that owner and group have execute permission on the op_server.pl and safe_opserver files.
Still not working. I still get:

Please see the permissions below. User, Group and Other all have execute permissions. I also tried giving User, Group and Other execute permissions on all the files in /var/www/html/panel.
I’m grateful for any direction you can provide.

I’m not a SuSE user nor a perl expert but remember seeing it posted someplace…
Check that the first line is pointing to your proper perl install.
by default it is set to
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
in the op_server.pl file.
Best bet is to make a symlink at that location to the right one as several of the perl files will all be looking in the same place for it (ampbackup.pl, fax-process.pl, retrieve_op_conf_from_mysql.pl, etc).
I have just installed FreePBX, and after a number of fat finger mistakes I have the system up.
However on the Administrator Web-interface the Asterisk button is RED and says ERROR and the Op buton says WARN.
I can start the Asterisk Server Manually and the RED ERROR goes away, but the Op still remain on warn.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to resolve this.
Thanks
Lindell
