Hi There

I received the following error on my FreePBX asterisk server and have no idea why this error was generated. Could anyone offer me advice on how to resolve this error?

Error: Cronmanager encountered 1 Errors

The following commands failed with the listed error
/var/lib/asterisk/bin/module_admin listonline (255)
Added 5 hours, 11 minutes ago
(cron_manager.EXECFAIL)

For FreePBX to automatically check for module updates it runs that command. That command simply reads the online repository which has the resulting effect of populating and notifications if there are updates available. So for some reason the command failed. You can run the command manually and see what it says. It could have been an internet problem. If you can't updated modules online for some reason then it is related to that.

Hi all,

Apologies for resurrecting a dead thread, but this is all Google can find for me :)

I'm receiving a similar error above. FreePBX is reporting that, 'Cronmanager encountered 1 errors'. Here it is expanded:

The following commands failed with the listed error
/var/lib/asterisk/bin/module_admin listonline (255)
Added 12 minutes ago
(cron_manager.EXECFAIL)

I'm receiving an e-mail from cron every hour giving me a failure message, but here's a paste of the output of /var/lib/asterisk/bin/module_admin listonline, ran as asterisk:

asterisk@asterisk ~ $ /var/lib/asterisk/bin/module_admin listonline

Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /var/lib/asterisk/bin/module_admin on line 142

My limited knowledge of coding PHP brought me to inspecting line 142, so here's the particular snippet:

<?php
function showList($online = false) {
$modules_local = module_getinfo();
$modules = $modules_local;
if ($online) {
$modules_online = module_getonlinexml();
$modules += $modules_online; /* line 142 */
}
ksort($modules);
?>

When adding a print $modules, and print $modules_online between lines 141 and 142, I get this output:

asterisk@asterisk ~ $ /var/lib/asterisk/bin/module_admin listonline

Array
Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /var/lib/asterisk/bin/module_admin on line 145

Which is where I'm stuck: += as an operator expects numerics, and it's not getting them. Is anyone aware of how this might happen? FreePBX runs from Apache2 (ran as asterisk:asterisk) and the /etc/ampuser, /etc/asterisk/manager.conf passwords are all set correctly. I've checked and checked and checked chown/chmod permissions, with no clue as to why this is failing.

FreePBX is version 2.4.1.0.

(Yes, an old version of Asterisk, but I need to retain it for compatibility - plus, portage has been hugely behind with 1.4 until only recently.)

Any help will be greatly appreciated. :)

Thanks,

tomm3h,
the line:

<?php
$modules += $modules_online;  /* line 142 */
<?

Is a union operator on the two arrays, see:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.array.php

Well, thanks for pointing out my mistake. Though I'd hasten to add that I (logically) came to this page, first..

Still, whatever the operator does, the script is still failing, as it's not being given what it expects (one variable looks null, as far as I can tell.)

After some odd fiddling, I moved /var/lib/asterisk/bin/retrieve_conf to another location, I was then asked to reload by FreePBX (failed of course) and so I moved the file back. After a reload, calling module_admin listonline worked perfectly.. Once. And thereafter it's back to being broken, with lovely cron errors each hour :)

Any idea? I'll try to give as much help as I can :)

Hello. I have a new install of FreePBX that was working fine untill the latest round of updates. I am now getting the same error as notated above. The following commands failed with the listed error /var/lib/asterisk/bin/module_admin listonline (255). When I run from a command line, I get the same error in line 142. I now go back to my original FreePBX box, and run the same command, and it works fine. (Different computer, we are in the process of doing a hardware change. Same configuration, but different Servers.) I can get onto the internet, but this error is there.

Any ideas? I geatly appreciate it!

Terry

One thing I did do to troubleshoot this a bit.. I did a comp between the MODULE_ADMIN from the original box and the current box, and they are the same, so the problem is elsewhere. Sorry for the double post!

What versions of php are you running on those two boxes?
Do a 'php -v' in a shell on each box and post the outcome here.

I am running PHP Version 5.1.6 with the Zend Engine of 2.1.0.

If you run /var/lib/asterisk/bin/module_admin list
do you get any errors?

I did try the module_admin listonline yesterday, and got the error above. Now, I do not get the error. I will wait and see if the error happens again when CRON runs tonight.

Works for me on Ubuntu Intrepid with php 5.2.6-2ubuntu4. The union operator doesn't handle null operands.

Hi All,

I'm having the same problem.

johnc - I added your patch, the "+ if (isset...." line, to module-admin and got the below error. If there is anything else I should include, no matter how basic and obvious, please let me know.

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF in /var/lib/asterisk/bin/module_admin on line 143

The system can ping outside IPs and make test calls, so I don't think it's a connection problem.

Help from anyone is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben

Ben, sorry for the late reply; I've been away.

It's not clear from your post whether you've applied the patch correctly. After patching, you should have:


$modules = $modules_local;
if ($online) {
$modules_online = module_getonlinexml();
if (isset($modules_online)) $modules += $modules_online;
}
ksort($modules);


i.e. you delete the line that starts with '-' and add the line that starts with '+'.

John

this issue has already been fixed in one of the recent framework updates, #3658.
