Permission denied (dialparties.agi)

Asterisk Asterisk General

for the last couple of days, maybe a week, we have had some strange things happen, I finally was able to capture a debug of what the call was doing. A simple reload fixes it, but I don’t understand why it’s happening. Here is the error message from the debug…

– Executing [s@macro-dial:6] AGI(“SIP/WOW-SIP-00000009”, “dialparties.agi”) in new stack
Launched AGI Script /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/dialparties.agi
dialparties.agi: Failed to execute ‘/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/dialparties.agi’: Permission denied
[2016-04-05 06:24:56] ERROR[3485][C-00000008]: utils.c:1339 ast_carefulwrite: write() returned error: Broken pipe

I have already changed the permissions for this file to 777 hoping that would fix it, but wanted you guys opinion as to why it happened, or if I needed to do more?

You need to check that in the FreePBX forums at http://community.freepbx.org/ and usually that error is due to asterisk user do not own the script or folder.

Thanks, that’s what I did, I should have put that in the message but thanks for your quick response!

Although I don’t think Asterisk does this, a lot of server software will refuse to run with configuration files that have unsafe permission/ownership combinations.

ok so after a module update to a couple of different modules the problem returned this morning… my PBX restarts every morning at 4 AM. can someone give me a more permanent solution? Something I have never had to worry about is Asterisk, and now I find myself checking it every morning at 6 AM. :frowning:

You need to ask in the FreePBX forum.
