>                 Key: ASTERISK-18763
>                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-18763
>             Project: Asterisk
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>      Security Level: None
>          Components: Channels/chan_dahdi
>    Affects Versions: 1.8.7.1, 13.18.4
>         Environment: Linux
>            Reporter: reinerotto
>            Severity: Minor
>
> In case of wrong configuration of chan_dahdi using "#include dahdi-channels.conf" the error messages are different to the same misconfiguration, but with explicitly edited commands. 
> The error messages because of wrong configuration using "#include ..." are not obvious.
> Example:
> /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf
> ;This is an excerpt from misconfigured chan_dahdi.conf:
> ........
> ; they mean or you know you should change them.
> ; Next line should be after [channels] instead, here it is misplaced.
> #include dahdi-channels.conf
> [trunkgroups]
> ;
> .........
> This will result in the following error messages from asterisk:
> /var/log/asterisk/messages:
> ......
> [Oct 28 10:20:24] WARNING[2836] loader.c: Error loading module 'chan_mgcp.so': /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_mgcp.so: undefined symbol: ast_pktccops_gate_alloc
> [Oct 28 10:20:24] WARNING[2836] loader.c: Module 'chan_mgcp.so' could not be loaded.
> [Oct 28 10:20:24] WARNING[2836] config.c: parse error: No category context for line 11 of /etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf
> [Oct 28 10:20:24] WARNING[2836] chan_dahdi.c: Ignoring any changes to 'userbase' (on reload) at line 23.
> So, in this case, a WARNING only, which is misleading to the casual user (like me).
> Opposed to explicitly edited, misconfigured chan_dahdi:
> /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf
> ........
> ;
> ;#include dahdi-channels.conf
> ;Instead of using include, all statements here
> group=0,11
> context=from-isdn
> overlapdial=yes
> switchtype = euroisdn
> signalling = bri_cpe_ptmp
> channel => 1-2
> context = default
> group = 63
> [trunkgroups]
> ........
> This results in a much more obvious error message:
> /var/log/asterisk/messages:
> [Oct 28 10:24:07] WARNING[2884] config.c: parse error: No category context for line 22 of /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf
> [Oct 28 10:24:07] ERROR[2884] chan_dahdi.c: File chan_dahdi.conf cannot be parsed.  Aborting.
> The behaviour of using an #include is different to explicitly typed config statements. Worrying ....
