<![CDATA[Users cannot log in after FreePBX/Asterisk update]]>After updating FreePBX to 10.13.66 and Asterisk to 13.5, users cannot log in to FOP2. When testing with
/usr/local/fop2/fop2_server -c /etc/asterisk/fop2 --test
I get the following output:

Does anyone have advice on how to correct this?

Try to catch me on the live help, maybe we can remote into your system to check all those firewall rules and see if they might be causing that issue or if its something else. You can always try by disabling the firewall and running /usr/local/fop2/fop2_server --test after disabling it.

It might also be a syntax error in fop2.cfg, like having the file saved in DOS format (not unix format). Having an extra space somewhere, etc.

Best regards,

I do appreciate you taking time to help me debug it. There is a new firewall component in FreePBX, but disabling it doesn't seem to help with the error I am getting.

Running:
netstat -lnp | grep 5038
Returns:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5038 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3461/asterisk

Running:
iptables -vnL
Returns over 200 lines. Is there something specific in that that I should pull out or do you want it all?

FOP2 is unable to connect to port 5038 on your server. That is the default port for Asterisk AMI. So you might have some firewall rules preventing that connection, or AMI is not enabled in Asterisk. You will need to fix that, the problem is not with FOP2. What is the output from this:

netstat -lnp | grep 5038

?

And this:

iptables -vnL

?

I am logged in as root when I run the test.

manager_host=127.0.0.1

instead of localhost. Then try again. Also, be SURE you run fop2_server as root or via sudo.

Could the deny/permit settings in manager.conf be a problem?

cat /etc/asterisk/manager.conf

My suggestion is to use the standard location. What is the output from this command:

cat /etc/sysconfig/fop2

?

As for the error when you run --test, it seems you do not have the Asterisk Manager enabled, you will have to enable it by modifying the file /etc/asterisk/manager.conf. Be sure it is enabled there, then restart Asterisk, then try --test in fop2.

Users still cannot log in.

Checking version with:
/usr/local/fop2/fop2_server -v
returns:
fop2_server version 2.27

I have no particular reason for using /etc/asterisk/fop2. I assume that is where the original installation put the files or instructed me to put the files.

chmod a+x /etc/asterisk/fop2/*.sh

And then test it with:

/usr/local/fop2/fop2_server -c /etc/asterisk/fop2 --test

In any case, is there any particular reason to use /etc/asterisk/fop2 for the fop2 config directory? What FOP2 version do you have installed?
