I did a complete backup on the old one then restored to 15.
Looking at the original 2.11 PBX, I see someone changed Asterisk Manager User to “amanager.”
Now on the newest FreePBX 15, I cannot even reach the advanced settings, so I went into manager.conf, manager_additonal.conf, and manager_custom.conf and see there is no [amanager] section.
I added [amanager] section in manager_custom.conf, but still I am getting the same issue in FreePBX, “can not connect to asterisk.”
Yes, I am aware of that. “amanager” is from the old PBX version 2.11.
There is an [admin] section, but as shown from the log/CLI output, it is looking for “amanager” which I have added, but still I am getting the same message. Hence why I am asking about anything I am missing about this.
I don’t know what was done on the system you migrated from, but the correct config for FreePBX AMI credentials is as in manager.conf. It will probably be the admin user and the secret is as generated
