FreePBX install problem

Support
,
1

Dear community.
It’s probably stupid, but it is.
It is about FreePBX. I have running Nethserver v. 7-7.1908 and everything works fine. Once I installed and tested freepbx. I was not sure if I will continue to run FreePBX on this server and wanted to completely uninstall and remove. I used a manual from Need help to remove asterisk.
Now I want to have it back and the installation of FreePBX runs without errors but does not work.
https://my-nethserver/freepbx -> “File not found”

I think that Asterisk is not completely installed, because for example /var/lib/asterisk/bin/ is missing…
How can I restore all Asterisk packages and get FreePBX running again.

For your help I am very grateful.

Did you manually remove the packages?

Did you delete the files and dirs, especially /var/www/html/freepbx and /usr/src/freepbx dirs and the databases?

Hello Markus.
Yes, manually.
Yes, I have deleted all directories, and DBs…

You may check /var/log/messages and /var/log/freepbx_rpm_install.log` for errors.

I assume freepbx (/var/www/html/freepbx) is (partly) missing.
Please check if files like index.php are there:

ls -l /var/www/html/freepbx

Use the following to force reinstalling freepbx:

rm -f /var/www/html/freepbx/index.php /etc/freepbx.conf /etc/amportal.conf
signal-event nethserver-freepbx-update
5

[root@DNS-GW ~]# ls -l /var/www/html/freepbx
total 0

and
ls -l /var/www/html/freepbx
total 0
…
I have deleted and updated (signal-event nethserver-freepbx-update)

Are there files now in /var/www/html/freepbx? Do you still get the “file not found” ?

Yes, “File not found”

This is from /var/log/freepbx_rpm_install.log

You may try to delete the DB and then reinstall freepbx with the 2 lines I posted above. It should recreate the missing files.

Ok, I’ll try it…

It seems you still have the asterisk db as only the asteriskcdrdb is populated.

Please delete both DBs:

mysql
drop database asterisk;
drop database asteriskcdrdb;
exit

This is how it looks when it works:
