How are you handling call parking?

Transfer to parking lot extension 70, which does actually work, but the BLFs don't light up on the phones showing that there is a parked call on the extension, so my users don't know that it's actually parked. On our phones there is a park button which transfers to 70, then we have 4 BLF for ext. 71-74 to indicate that there is a call on that extension.
Edit: actually it parks the call, and the BLF DOES work, but when they hit the button for ext 71, it says "there is no call on this extension" or something like that.

So, when call parking is "broken" what you actually mean to say is the BLF subscriptions are not working.
Totally different thing.
Manually park a call by transferring to 70 and listening for the park slot used.
Dial the park slot and pick up the call.If this works, then you know 100% that call parking is functioning normally.

@jaredbusch Sorry, I misinterpreted the problem. If I manually transfer to 70, it says "call parked on 71", the BLF lights up for 71, then when I actually hit the button for 71, or dial 71, the freepbx lady tells me that "there is no call on this extension"

Okay, that means you need to know where the call went. Is the caller on hold someplace? If so, just dial each park until you find it.
If not, we can assume that transfer to parking disconnected the call.You can monitor this from the CLI (
asterisk -rvvvvv) if the PBX is not very busy. If it is busy, you will want togrepthe log file for the call. -

The MySQL issue and the Call park issue should be totally unrelated.
Asterisk does not use MySQL for anything.
FreePBX uses it to store the configs to send to Asterisk and all, but normal operation has nothing to do with MySQL.
To resolve your mysql issues, simply restart it.
On FreePBX 13 and older:service mysql start
On FreePBX 14 and newer:systemctl start mysql -

So this says the call went to park slot 71 and the hold music started playing.
If you do this, and then then dial 71 (don't use a BLF), what does the log show? -

On FreePBX 14 and newer: systemctl start mysql
systemctl start mariadb at least stopped the notification every 30 seconds, not sure what is causing it though, I'll dig through some log files.

Maybe it's coincidence, but as soon as I restarted mariadb, dialing 71 and the BLF both pick up the parked extension perfectly fine again.

That's just odd, like mariadb isn't getting started like it should.
If you type
systemctl enable maraiadb, what's the output? -
@travisdh1 no output

Then I was wrong about mariadb not being set to automatically start, it already was. Do you see anything in the log files on why it stops?
-
It looks like it may have been permission issues? Do you guys know if amportal was ever used in FPBX14, or has it always been fwconsole?
I haven't had any issues, even after multiple reboots, since running 'systemctl start mariadb', but I also ran 'fwconsole chown' during that same session, so maybe that is what cured these issues? I'm not sure, but I will keep digging.

I don't know what you did but none of this is normal.
Was this a clean 14 install?
-
@jaredbusch This was a clean install of 14, I used the convert script (sometime in July, 2017) to migrate extensions, and the like, over from Elastix to 14. Since migrating from Elastix to 14, everything has been great until fairly recently, I don't know if some updates broke something, something in the OS was corrupted some how? I don't know.
Do you think it would be beneficial to spin up a new instance of 14 and migrate everything over again?

That is NOT a clean install.
That is a migration.
That script does a LOT of backend stuff that I have had trouble with more than one time.
I have given up and will only do a true clean install and manual migration anymore.

I would spin up a new instance.
But I would not use a migration script.
I would export things since you are on FreePBX 14 and are going to FreePBX 14. You have this power now.
I don't have time to grab screenshots, but the export import functions do work.
