Dear All,
I have followed the exact instructions written by Moshe brevda in order to restrict some extensions from making outbound calls, as stated in: http://mbrevda.blogspot.com/2008/11/restricting-outbound-calls-in-freepbx_15.html
however, when i ran the amportal command, i no longer was able to apply any changes to system, no matter what i do. I’m not good at using linux, however i tried giving 777 permission to any files i felt would help, but without any benefit. here is a log of what happens when i try to apply configuration changes:
exit: 1

[FATAL] Cannot write Queues configurations Failed creating/overwriting Queues extensions file: /etc/asterisk
/queues_additional.conf
1 error(s) occured, you should view the notification log on the dashboard or main screen to check for more details.
Regards,
/etc/asterisk/queues_additional.conf existed, i tried deleting it before hence,
however it didnt solve the problem. Infact, it didn’t create a new one either.
Later i created one and set permission 777 and gave root ownership
Could you enlighten me on how to exactly do it.
Thanks for your fast reply
If /etc/asterisk/queues_additional.conf exists then try to delete it, freepbx will recreate it.
if it does not exist try to create it yourself with owner and group as asterisk.
type ‘chown asterisk.asterisk queues_additional.conf’ to change the ownership of the file to the correct one.
Mickecarlsson,
I’ve applied the command mentioned, but it didn’t fix it.
I still get the same fatal error.
Delete the file, it will be created when you run retrieve_conf.
If you get the same error after deleting the file, then check that the directory /etc/asterisk is owned by asterisk (ls -l in /etc):
drwxrwxr-x 2 asterisk asterisk 4096 Dec 30 23:19 asterisk
[FATAL] Cannot write Queues configurations Failed creating/overwriting Queues extensions file: /etc/asterisk
/queues_additional.conf
the file was not created!
checking the ownership of the directory, here are some of the results:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6314 Dec 1 13:35 amportal.conf
drwxrwxrwx 2 asterisk asterisk 4096 Jan 4 11:29 asterisk
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 1 13:32 asterisk.elastix
This is getting strange. Do this:
go to /etc/asterisk
type ‘su asterisk’ so that you change the user to asterisk.
then type ‘rm queues_additional.conf’ if you get this error:
rm: cannot remove `queues_additional.conf’: No such file or directory
then we know that the file does not exist. If you get nothing back the file was deleted, if you get anything else please post it here.
Now go to /var/www/html/admin and type /var/lib/asterisk/bin/retrieve_conf
and see if you get any errors.
the remove command confirms that:
bash-3.1$ rm queues_additional.conf
rm: cannot remove `queues_additional.conf’: No such file or directory
cd var/www/html/admin
/var/lib/asterisk/bin/retrieve_conf
exit

I no longer have the apply changes problem now, however iam unable to make any changes to existing extensions, nor can i add new ones!!! please help
Revert the thing that you did:
Start by opening /etc/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf and REMOVE the following context:
[from-internal-restricted]
#exec /var/lib/asterisk/bin/restricted.sh
Save and do ‘amportal stop’ then amportal start.
What version of FreePBX do you run?
I already had commented the lines i’ve added by using semicolon, i removed them permanently now.
still unable to do any changes to any extensions.
adding new extension also would produce this error for voicemail, which i even didnt request to add
FATAL ERROR
Error: Trying to write null voicemail file! I refuse to contiune!
Try this: amportal stop then amportal chown then amportal start
Then type this ps aux |grep asterisk and post the outcome.
What version of FreePBX do you use?
i use FreePBX 2.4.0.0 .
these are the requested results:

Where did you get this text?
There must be something wrong with permissions or you don’t have your FreePBX installed at /var/www/html/admin
Go to /var/www/html/admin and do an ls -l and post the outcome here
after running: retrieve_conf
there was a prompt on the screen, as if it was expecting me to enter something.
after waiting for a min, i decided to quit it
from which i got all the next outputs.

Ok, the /var/lib/asterisk/bin/retrieve_conf run from /var/www/html/admin should just run, there should be no prompting whatsoever.
Try the command when logged in as root:
cd /var/www/html/admin
/var/lib/asterisk/bin/retrieve_conf --debug
This will produce a long output. Look for obvious errors in the output.
I’m sorry but no output at all
p.s : i’m logged in as root
Have you tried the ‘Windows approach’?
Reboot the machine and try it again.
If that fails, then I am sorry to say that you need to reinstall. I can’t help you more as the steps above should solve it.
Do you have a backup of the machine?
What you could try is to upgrade to FreePBX 2.5 but I can not guarantee that it will work as your system looks corrupt.
