Unable to connect to remote asterisk

General Help
1

Hello,
I’m using Linux Centos7
I have install the server from this guide
https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-asterisk-pbx-18-lts-on-centos-7/
then I have added the FreePBX using this guide:
https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-freepbx-on-centos-rhel/

I have added 2 users in extentions - abel to connect from 1 PC and one android device.
then I have reboot my server , jsut to be sure all is working.
and now I get this error in the FreePBX page
“Cannot connect to Asterisk”

I guess something in the permissions
I saw that the serice is down after boot
so I have enable it

sudo systemctl status asterisk

I can see it’s running now

but still not working

I have check

asterisk -r
asterisk: /usr/lib64/libjansson.so.4: no version information available (required by asterisk)
Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl exist?)

there is no such file only asterisk.pid

what is wrong? - not working correct ?

please tell me what command to run , and I will show you the replay from them

Thanks,

I there a particular reason you used self install instructions instead of just installing the FreePBX Distro? FreePBX15-16 installation - PBX Platforms - Documentation

3

this was the first answer google for
install freepbx in centos 7
also I’m using oracle cloud , and not a PC

is there naything I can do?
is there a cloud intallation I can use?

Thanks,

I would install libjansson the error suggests your missing that and maybe more dependencies.

you might have selinux running which can do things you don’t expect.

Try starting at command prompt as asterisk -vvvvvc See what you get for errors.
But ultimately you are in a advanced install and so you have to do a lot of the work as its far outside the normal condition.

still not working

this is what I did:

… rebuild Asterisk using ./configure --with-jansson-bundled. perhaps ?

7

I have run this command
still not working
do I need to run anything else after it?

Thanks,

You have to rebuild asterisk after it. ./configure simply does customisations to the build configuration; you sill need to run make menuconfig, make, etc.

this is what I have done:

make
make install
make samples
make config
systemctl restart asterisk
systemctl status asterisk

now I’m able to enter cmd

asterisk -r
