[asterisk-users] cli commands missing

[Eric Fort]

I just loaded a new asterisk install (1.4.19) and found that the sip, iax,
and extentions commands are missing from the cli and are not listed in help
either? Any idea what could have happened or where these commands may have
gone?

Thanks,

Eric

It probably means that the respective modules (chan_sip.so,
chan_iax2.so, etc.) were not loaded. Do you have autoload enabled in
modules.conf?

[Eric Fort]

autoload is enabled but all the modules are not loaded. Why would this be?
what should I look at? The cli output and modules.conf are below.

modules.conf:

A couple of things to check:
Is your DNS lookup on the box working?
Are all the configfiles readable by asterisk?

Can you try to stop asterisk and start it with:
asterisk -vvvvvvgcd
That will show you what it's doing and may give you pointers why it's
not working.

[Eric Fort]

resolve.conf and dns is working. The problem persists.
/var/log/asterisk/messages shows a few notices and warnings on res_smdi.c,
res_musiconhold.c, and usbradio.c. when I disable loading of these in
modules.conf asterisk crashes on load.

Hi Eric,

Post by Eric Fort
resolve.conf and dns is working. The problem persists.
/var/log/asterisk/messages shows a few notices and warnings on
res_smdi.c, res_musiconhold.c, and usbradio.c. when I disable loading
of these in modules.conf asterisk crashes on load.
Eric

try to start asterisk in foreground.
First stop it and then start it on the shell:
asterisk -vvvvvv

You will see all the messages while autoloading. Some of them might tell
You, why a module is not loaded.

HTH,

Regards,
Karsten

Actually often many v-s flood you with messages and hide the errors.

asterisk -U asterisk -c

But then again, this information should already be in the logs.

I've seen something like that (in your next post you show 20-some
modules, a stock install will be > 100 modules) when using the
openSUSE distribution Asterisk package along with asterisk-addons
package. What happens is it gets stuck on some module that is not
configured.... I think one of the ones relating to database or CDR.

You will notice if you do an asterisk -vvvvvc that you did not get
"Asterisk is ready" at the point where your modules are missing. I
think after a few minutes everything loads (module times out starting
with its default config)

If this is the case you should just disable any modules you don't use
from /usr/lib/asterisk/modules or /usr/lib64/asterisk/modules.... you
can move them out of there at first and eventually add them as noload
to modules.conf (so when you upgrade to a newer version you don't run
into the same issue).
