Summary:                    [patch] GUI hangs on "Checking write permission for
gui folder"
Description: 
I installed the sources from SVN r5161, set all the appropriate
permissions, enabled the http and manager, and did everything by the book,
as far as I know.

Note, this is on FreeBSD 8.2:

FreeBSD XXX 8.2-STABLE FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE
https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=1: Tue Mar  1 17:29:18 CET 2011
    virtus at XXX:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SERVER  i386

When going to the GUI configuration page, after logging in the GUI keeps
returning to "Checking write permission for gui folder". This error seems
recurrent, as it occurs in several other bug reports and on the mailing
lists.

As far as I can tell, it seems to be a problem with the DAHDI detection,
because the parseConfig loop exits perfectly fine. I'm surprised that it
just keeps going, instead of giving an error which could tell me where it's
going wrong.

It appears that in some places, "/etc/modprobe.d" is hardcoded. In FreeBSD
(using the dahdi-freebsd sources), the modules are installed in
/usr/local/lib/dahdi/, which might be what's causing this.

Firebug reports errors on the following GET commands:

http://XXX:8088/asterisk/rawman?action=originate&channel=Local%2Fexecutecommand%40asterisk_guitools&Variable=command%3Decho%2097555%20%3E%20%2Fvar%2Flib%2Fasterisk%2Fstatic-http%2Fconfig%2Fsysinfo_output3771.html&application=noop&timeout=60000
http://XXX:8088/asterisk/rawman?action=originate&channel=Local%2Fexecutecommand%40asterisk_guitools&Variable=command%3Decho%2097555%20%3E%20%2Fvar%2Flib%2Fasterisk%2Fstatic-http%2Fconfig%2Fsysinfo_output3771.html&application=noop&timeout=60000

My manager.conf file does allow "originate", so that shouldn't be the
problem here.

If necessary, I can provide external access to the server. I would really
like for this to work on FreeBSD! There is a FreeBSD port available, that
works like a charm for 1.4 but is severely outdated.

Hey lathama.

Actually I did read it, from top to bottom. The one, well maybe not the
only one,  thing I don't understand is how/where do I see the debug array
results. Where are they written.

I couldn't find them anywhere after enabling them. But I did get some new
error message windows on the gui.
