Practical Asterisk 1.4 and 1.6: From Beginner to Expert

FATAL ERROR

SELECT username, password_sha1, extension_low, extension_high, deptname, sections FROM ampusers WHERE username = ‘asteriskuser’
DB Error: no such field

this is a simple thing to fix.

The problem is that the upgrade should have changed a column name in your my mysql database. ( but it didn’t for some reason )

How to Fix :

You need to log in to your mysql database ( either through phpmyadmin, webmin, ssh or on the console )

if you are using ssh or console you will first need to find your mysql password.

nano /etc/amportal.conf

you will see a line with “AMPDBPASS=xxxxxxx” this is your password

mysql -u asteriskuser -p

it will then ask for your password, key in your password and press enter

now you should have a mysql prompt which will look like this ” mysql-> ”

now you need to select the correct database

use asterisk

and check the current configuration of the table

select * from ampusers;

you should see something like this

+---------------+--------------------+
|  username     |   password         |          and so on
+---------------+--------------------+

we need to change the password column to password_sha1

alter table ampusers change password password_sha1 varchar(20);

now exit mysql

exit

That is all you need to do. Now you should be able to log in to Freepbx web console.
