Symlink from modules failed

Distro Discussion & Help
1

Hi There;
Just received this after updating the Recording report module.

Symlink from modules failed

retrieve_conf failed to sym link:
/var/lib/asterisk/bin/one_touch_record.php from callrecording/bin (Already exists, not a link)
This can result in FATAL failures to your PBX. If the target file exists and
not identical, the symlink will not occur and you should rename the
target file to allow the automatic sym link to occur and remove this
error, unless this is an intentional customization.

FreePBX 12.0.65
Asterisk (Ver. 11.17.1)

Do what it says and remove the link

Thanks Andrew. I thought I did.
I’m not 100% sure I understand the instructions.
I renamed the file “one_touch_record.php” ( /var/lib/asterisk/bin/one_touch_record.php ) to something else.
Reload / Restart or Full reboot didn’t clear the error.
…Or was this alert directing me to the other location
( /var/www/html/admin/modules/callrecording/bin/one_touch_record.php ) ?

I’ve now tried renaming the file in either one or the other location then did a full reboot.
Went back to the directory to confirm changes. Everything was as it should.
The error won’t clear.

You need to run

amportal a r

to clear the error.

Thanks Andrew - that did it.
I’ll throw that now into my little bag of tricks.

What does the command “amportal a r” do? And why doesn’t it appear in the --help info? Thanks!

amportal a[dmin] r[eload]

it regenerates and reloads the system similar to clicking ‘apply changes’ button in FreePBX. Entering ‘amportal a’ or ‘amportal admin’ will give you help output.
