the gui does NOT assume root privileges.
How ever the gui assumes that the user asterisk runs as has read/write privileges to the 
config folder (/etc/asterisk) via manager

and also can write to the gui folder (for writing sysinfo_output.html)

With the GUI, Asterisk is NOT meant to run unless it has root privileges.

The last time I ran into this error I installed the GUI from SVN as root, and that leaves a hole bunch of permissions set incorrectly.  Check your /var/lib/asterisk/static-http and /var/lib/asterisk/static-http/config.  Are these directories and files owned by asterisk or root?  Generally I do a recursive chown on /var/lib/asterisk/static-http/ and set owner to asterisk:asterisk.  This should resolve the issues if it's a permissions thing (which this file listing happened every time I did a root install).

Otherwise the GUI seemed sort of faulty in general, once permissions are fixed and a clean setup is performed everything goes back to normal.

I had a problem when root owned files that it setup a trunk that disappeared from the GUI somehow, but when dialing was a problem you could find 2 definitions for trunks in the config, just one was written broken/incorrectly so it wasn't parsed and shown again.
