Must be disable any firewall like selinux or other then reboot your server. I think this is fix.
Thanks.
When i put:
sudo cat < /etc/odbcinst.ini
[MySQL]
Description = ODBC for MySQL (MariaDB)
Driver = /usr/local/lib/libmaodbc.so
FileUsage = 1
EOF
the command line response me with:
-bash: /etc/odbcinst.ini: Permission denied
Can you help me with that?
you are not sudoers user. So you can’t run this command. if possible use root or sudoers user.
Thanks.
to enable Restore from a legacy system, you need to add this install:
sudo apt install php-sqlite3
Which FreePBX version for this?
Thanks.
FreePBX Version 15 on Ubuntu 18.04. — Using the instruction on this page.
The only thing that did not work was the restore of a legacy backup of “raspbx” (IE: FreePBX version 14) I think.
You can manual backup system.
Thanks.
