Hi,
After upgrading FreePBX from version 2.8 to 2.9 (Asterisk 1.6.2.14 on Centos 5.5), I found that changes made to FreePBX are not sticking, i.e. changes are not carrying over to the various .conf files FreePBX is supposed to update. After some troubleshooting etc, I found that the primary reason seems to be that FreePBX upgrade installed several files on root rather than at /etc/asterisk or other locations. Changes being made via FreePBX are making the changes at the root level files other than the files on The phone system itself works fine, we are just unable to make changes.
The files that were installed onto root are:
chan_dahdi_additional.conf
extensions_additional.conf
features_applicationmap_additional.conf
features_general_additional.conf
features_featuremap_additional.conf
iax_additional.conf
iax_general_additional.conf
iax_registrations.conf
localprefixes.conf
logger_general_additional.conf
logger_logfiles_additional.con
meetme_additional.conf
queues_additional.conf
queues_general_additional.conf
sip_additional.conf
sip_general_additional.conf
sip_notify_additional.conf
sip_registrations.conf
The amportal.conf file is pointing to the proper directories it seems- I have included a retrieve_conf -debug output from both the
/var/www/html…/framework/bin and /var/lib/asterisk/bin
[root@asterisk /]# /var/www/html/admin/modules/framework/bin/retrieve_conf --debug

To make this a bit easier to solve, I think all I really need is how to point FreePBX to update the right files. To prove this, I created symbolic links on the root to point to the files in /etc/asterisk. I was able to enter a new extension and register the phone and make calls once I made the symbolic links.
Thanks for your help!
