(ari.ARI_ADMIN_PASSWORD)
You can correct it as follows:
1. $ nano -w “/var/www/html/recordings/includes/main.conf.php”
2. Change:
$ARI_ADMIN_PASSWORD =”ari_password”
to
$ARI_ADMIN_PASSWORD =”your-new-secret-password”
3. Close and save the file.
4. Edit /etc/amportal.conf and add the following lines at the bottom:
ARI_ADMIN_USERNAME=admin
ARI_ADMIN_PASSWORD=your-new-secret-password
NOTE: Its expected that you will change “your-new-secret-password” to something only you know.
5. Restart amportal using – $ amportal restart
