[asterisk-users] Manager.conf '127.0.0.1 unable to authenticate'

[Ken Williams]

That was indeed the problem.  I thought I had eliminated any httpd by
disabling the service, but the problem was trixbox was still trying to
load on startup via /usr/sbin/amportal.  Once I removed that from
startup, problem resolved.
 
I did go a step further and wipe out the panel in httpd as well.
 
Thanks for the pointer.

Hi Ken,

Trixbox comes with the Flash Operator Panel. The FOP server is likely
setup with incorrect authentication parameters, and hence is failing
authentication everytime it attempts to use the Asterisk Manager API to
update it's tracking of what's going on in your system. 

Check your op_server.cfg file (/var/www/html/panel/, I think). Look for
the manager_user and manager_secret parameters, and make sure they match
an entry in /etc/asterisk/manager.conf.

	I've used TCPDUMP & NGREP to monitor 127.0.0.1, no data's
flowing.  
	 
	I've tried loading Asterisk with no modules, tried loading with
a naked manager.conf (only lines are [general] & enabled=yes).
	 
	I've cleaned out /var/lib/asterisk.
	 
	My full log shows the following every attempt:
	 
	[Mar  6 13:32:39] DEBUG[28578] manager.c: Manager received

	[Mar  6 13:32:39] DEBUG[28578] manager.c: Manager received

	I've updated from 1.2.13 to 1.4.1 and done everything I could to
remove Trixbox from the picture.  I thought for sure it was a module,
but moving them all out of the picture didn't alleviate the problem.  It
seems as long as manager.conf exists I'm getting these messages.  I've
got 3 boxes setup with mostly identical setups (extensions.conf is
different) and only one box is getting this message.  From what I can
tell from google searches it appears astbill and/or trixbox are likely
to blame but I'm running out of places to look for these culprits.  
	 
	Any suggestinos would be greatly appreciated.
