It should come back with the contents of the file on the screen. Look at the bottom line of the display - it should not say “READONLY”.
Don’t change anything. When done looking, type ‘ZZ’ (two capital Z)
That will save the file and exit. If the file is not writable, it will complain on the way out. Otherwise, you just end up back at the prompt.
Thank you! It did not say readonly and there was no complaint on the way out about being not writable
OK, so the Asterisk user can read and write the file, and your Apache instance is owned by Asterisk (check that in the Apache Config files or using “ps -aux”) so the problem must be in the Apache Config somewhere.
Does this tell me that apache is owned by root?
That tells you that ‘root’ owns the files. The question is about “in flight”, which we can only get from a “ps” command or from the Apache Config file.

The process is owned by Apache, not Asterisk.
That might be your problem.
Looking at other systems it appears httpd is owned by root and or asterisk. I don’t see apache on the left. Can I change this?
Owned by root would probably work; the default User and Group for Apache should be set in the Apache Config file…
You are a genius.
User apache
Group apache
Changed to asterisk and it came back to life. Thank you!
I would get the apache config files from a “fresh” install to compare against what you now have as perhaps something else is not correct. i.e. compare /etc/httpd/conf/* and /etc/httpd/conf.d/* files against known good ones.
That’s a good suggestion.
Looks like this is all sorted but faced with this one previous time I found this to work: service httpd restart
