Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /freepbx on this server.

Does it happen when doing module updates?

it is happening when i have installed module VOIP-PBX. from software center and after that i am trying to open WebUI of freepbx then its showing this an error.

Maybe you need to enable web access to freepbx?

http://docs.nethserver.org/en/v7/freepbx.html#web-access

Thanks for reply ! I am getting following an error. when i am running scl enable command

/usr/bin/scl enable rh-php56 “/usr/sbin/fwconsole”

/var/tmp/scly71LMe: line 8: /usr/sbin/fwconsole: No such file or directory

Can’t test it at the moment, did you try without paths?

yes i have tried both, but the same issue occurred. After installation this is the same issue even after fresh installation.
This is kind of bug or incomplete package from NS, which is non tested.

I don’t use FreePBX but it has installed fine right now on a test VM.
If fwconsole file is missing maybe the installation failed. Logs should provide you more info (/var/log/messages, /var/log/yum.log, /var/log/freepbx*, /var/log/asterisk*).
You can remove and reinstall the module. If after doing this you still have problems with the module try to Uninstall FreePBX completely
If it stills fails, even after a fresh server install, there could be a side problem (connection, repositories…)

Did you change the password of mysql root user? Does mysql on command line work (you should be logged in without password)?

i didn’t change password ! and now able to login in mysql .
But i have applied following command to get access ! which is successfully done ! now i try for reinstallation of Freepbx.
Followed steps -
Login to NS terminal, can be done remotely]
$ sudo systemctl stop mysql
$ sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
$ mysql -u root

I have tried to install it again but its same an error !
Very strange issue is occurring. If i reset mysql root account then its access from following command.
#mysql -u root

but when i tried to install freepbx and in the log file same an error as above.
and after running mysql command - i get following an error.

#mysql -u root
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)

I think the mysql root user password is wrong. Nethserver stores passwords in /var/lib/nethserver/secrets/. To reset the mysql root password please follow these steps:

Get the password of mysql root:

cat /var/lib/nethserver/secrets/mysql

Reset root password, replace SECRET with the password you got in previous step.

systemctl stop mysqld
mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
mysql mysql
update user set password=PASSWORD("SECRET") where User='root';
flush privileges;
exit
mysqladmin shutdown
systemctl start mysqld

http://docs.nethserver.org/projects/nethserver-devel/en/v7/mysql.html

To reconfigure freepbx:

signal-event nethserver-freepbx-update

Just to compare rights/owner, maybe there’s a permission problem (too):

ll /var/www/html/

Yes this is the issue with mysql … before i have rebooted and mysqld_safe … command and then it was successfully installed but now after installation its creating problem. As you instructed i have followed commands. But it couldn’t reset.

[root@backend ~]# systemctl stop mysqld
[root@backend ~]# mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
[1] 27340
[root@backend ~]# 180818 19:39:42 mysqld_safe Logging to ‘/var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log’.

[1]+ Exit 1 mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
[root@backend ~]# mysql mysql

[root@backend ~]# mysql mysql

You can try:

mysql --defaults-file=/root/.my.cnf

EDIT just checked mysql has to run for this

A mysqld_safe process was still running so it didn’t work to get into mysql as root.

You may reboot to restart running processes and try again, it worked here already. As soon as the login works you should be able to reset the root password.

I have rebooted the server and again tried to reset but its mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables, But again its not allowing to reset.
