FYI PEAR Failures Galore

[w1ve]

install seemed to show no errors, however, blank web, and if
i do amportal restart, I get:

PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'DB.php' (include_path
='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/html/admin/libraries/db_connect

status shows:

Help?

w1ve Yeah, the pear install syntax got "improved." You now need:

pear uninstall db
pear channel-update pear.php.net
pear install -Z db-1.7.14

All Incredible PBX installers have been fixed. And darmock will address in the PIAF 3 builds shortly.

Happy Thanksgiving, Ward!

Applied that, now I get:

Always run Incredible PBX behind a hardware-based firewall.
root@realtime:~# amportal restart

Please wait...
FATAL: can not find freepbx_engine to start Asterisk

 

[w1ve]

Web UI came up with the red Apply button showing. Pressed it, and got:

Reload failed because retrieve_conf encountered an error: 127

exit: 127
sh: 1: /var/lib/asterisk/bin/retrieve_conf: not found
1 error(s) occurred, you should view the notification log on the dashboard or main screen to check for more details.

So, what's the best step to continue?

w1ve Probably need to start with a new Incredible PBX 12 install. Not sure what the FreePBX folks improved, but it hosed existing install images. So I rebuilt the default image with their new stuff, and new installs should work fine other than having to manually disable signature checking in Advanced Settings. Or try updating everything in Module Admin.

 

[Jay Deal]

This hosed the IPBX 11 install as well. I would have to choose last night to start over again.....thanks FreePBX for my pre-Thanksgiving turkey!

 

[wardmundy]

Jay Deal Just tested the Thanksgiving Day build of Incredible PBX 11 for CentOS, and it works fine. Then logged out and back in to apply updates. Then downloaded and installed Incredible Fax 11 (http://incrediblepbx.com/incrediblefax11.sh) accepting all defaults. Then rebooted. Reset AvantFax password after logging in as maint:password. Everything works after one more reboot.

 

[Jay Deal]

On an Atom (i386) machine - Ok, just installed IPBX 11 on Ubuntu 14.04. With the revised script, pear db error went away and the install went fine. Followed it up with IncredibleFax11. And that hosed the IPBX install.

I give up. It's just turkey's everywhere around here today.

Which installer did you use for Incredible Fax??

 

[Jay Deal]

I used this one: 'wget --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joshnorth/UbuntuPIAF/master/incrediblefax11_ubuntu14.sh'. Downloaded about an hour ago.

I now get this error (same on as this thread referes to: http://pbxinaflash.com/community/index.php?threads/incredible-pbx-12-for-ubuntu-14-04.15926/page-3) ....

What's weird is that you can login to the Avantfax portal and it seems to function normally. And the IPBX update script shows all green after a 'su -'.

 

[Jay Deal]

I was able to get back the Freepbx portal. First I did a "pear uninstall db" and then ran "pear install DB-1.7.14" like this post suggested: http://community.freepbx.org/t/db-connect-non-static-in-class-freepbx-db/25646.

 

[wardmundy]

I'll alert Josh North, but there are three lines in that script for pear that are probably blowing FreePBX out of the water because of the recent pear update that FreePBX doesn't support:

#pear upgrade
#gunzip /build/buildd/php5-5.5.9+dfsg/pear-build-download/*.tgz
#pear upgrade /build/buildd/php5-5.5.9+dfsg/pear-build-download/*.tar

 

[wardmundy]

I've put a modified copy with these lines commented out on incrediblepbx.com if anyone wants to try it. THIS IS UNTESTED CODE!

wget http://incrediblepbx.com/incrediblefax11_ubuntu14.sh

 

[w1ve]

Thanks Ward! I'll simply rebuild my machine with the new scripts. Hope you are getting *overtime* for working on Thanksgiving... I just got back from a big fill of turkey and pumpkin pie... ready to sleep for a while... NOT!

I'll rebuild the VPS and try again... I'm sure it will be fine.

I can confirm this issue when installing from PIAF 2.0.6.5 ISO. The errors were (repeated multiple times):

Please wait...
PHP Fatal error:  Cannot make static method DB::connect() non static in class freepbx_db in /var/www/html/admin/libraries/freepbx_DB.php on line 57

You must create this directory and the try again.

After install, Asterisk is "OFFLINE" and web GUI is a blank page. Attempting "amportal start" would give the same error as above.
The two commands suggested by Ward and Jay Deal works fine to fix the problem after install:

pear uninstall db
(optional) pear channel-update pear.php.net
pear install -Z DB-1.7.14

Then you can do an "amportal restart" and proceed to update all modules in FreePBX's Module Admin.

You can't really "fix" this after install easily by just reinstalling the correct pear/DB files, by then the DB is pretty much hosed and apply config won't work (missing files) in the GUI. I've ran a new install twice now from the current files (after -Z option was added to the DB pull) and it runs great with a squeaky-clean running system.
