Thanks, this seems to be an issue with a base LAMP install on Fedora 18 as well =/

Thanks a ton!!! Saved me so much frustration!!! I Love asterisk, but working remotely with old version of CentOS and trying to upgrade php is a pain!

I just updated my PBX in a Flash system, rebooted my server, and had a similar problem:

[root@pbx /]# amportal start

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function posix_getpwuid() in /var/lib/asterisk/bin/gen_amp_conf.php on line 3
**** WARNING: ERROR IN CONFIGURATION ****
astrundir in ‘/etc/asterisk’ is set to but the directory
does not exists. Attempting to create it with: ‘mkdir -p ‘

mkdir: missing operand
Try `mkdir –help’ for more information.
**** ERROR: COULD NOT CREATE ****
Attempt to execute ‘mkdir -p ‘ failed with an exit code of 1
You must create this directory and the try again.

I just disabled the following lines of /var/lib/asterisk/bin/gen_amp_conf.php and it works now.

// $current_user = posix_getpwuid(posix_geteuid());
// if ($current_user[‘uid’] !== 0) {
// die(‘Forbidden – must be root’);
// }
