Summary:                    Include empty folder in exensions.conf - weird
results
Description: 
Hi!

It seems that including and empty directory into extensions.conf messes up
pretty much everything.

When i RELOAD asterisk with an "empty include", everything works great as
always, the issue is when i RESTART the asterisk service. 

No calls gets through. 404 on everything (sip), can't find extension.

I use polycom 330 phones, and x-lite, both get the same errors.

You can't have an empty directory like that. There needs to exist at least
one file ending in .conf must exist in this case. The file doesn't need to
contain anything, but it must exist.

This is a general rule for using #include -- the file you're including
must exist, even if it contains no data.
