So there is a connection to the database or something needs to be corrected?
It says nothing regarding that. ps -el might tell you something.
It is desirable that it is not started as the asterisk user, as some things it may need to do when starting can only be run as root. It is better to use the asterisk configuration options to have it change.
Running it as asterisk is a security thing, but if you are running it on a dedicated machine, if asterisk gets compromised, you have lost the whole machine, anyway.
huu how is this system originally installed ?
via FreePBX image or by hand
for issues with installing and running FreePBX you should ask https://community.freepbx.org/
