FOP 2 does not startup on a New FreePBX 17 install

[cmartin]

I followed installation instructions for both main program and wallboard and registered the product, but FOP2 does not start it just keeps trying to restart. FOP2 panel and admin panel can be reached while it is restarting, but it reloads browser whenever it restarts.

after running:

It worked for me. you can use these steps:

apt install php-mbstring bind9-utils

add 4445 TCP in firewall

wget -O - http://download.fop2.com/install_fop2.sh | bash
chown -R asterisk:asterisk /var/www/html/fop2/
cd /usr/local/fop2
chown asterisk:asterisk .
bash /usr/local/fop2/setSSL.sh
systemctl restart fop2

But the service keeps restarting

Thanks a lot, this worked for me. The first step was not necessary.
The service does keep restarting but the web pages are not refreshed on each restart so it is fine.
