Unable to edit allmon3

Allmon
1

So… I’ve been at this for days and I’m at my wits end. I’m computer literate but not so much with linux and command line.

I got debian12 installed on my mini pc and got ASL installed on that. I was able to configure it. I want to run stand alone on that device until I can get a usb interface.

I’m not even sure if my AllStar node is working. I wanted to log in with iaxRpt but that doesn’t work. Or with the RepeaterPhone app for ios.

I got to the step of installing allmon3 and was able to edit the allmon3.ini file once but now I can’t even seem to get there again. Why I try to cd to that directly it says that it doesn’t exist even though when I type “ls” to list the directories I can see it there. I’ve tried with sudo and it gives the same result.

How can I test to see if my node is even working?

How can I regain access to the allmon3.ini file?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT; I removed link to photo and figured out how to copy the code below

What is the output (please copy/paste not a picture) of ls -ld /etc/allmon3 and ls -l /etc/allmon3?

I also appear to be getting this over and over again every few seconds.

Based on that, your file needs to be edited as root (i.e. sudo or sudo -s).

Also:

[2024-12-15 19:39:41.337] NOTICE[2349]: manager.c:3790 authenticate: 127.0.0.1 failed to authenticate as ‘admin’

This means that the passwords in allmon3.ini and /etc/asterisk/manager.conf don’t match.
