[Asterisk-Users] Upgraded now Asterisk won't start

[Matt Roth]

Paul,

Noloading modules via modules.conf is a band-aid to your problem.  Each 
time you upgrade to the latest CVS, you are likely to run into similar 
problems requiring more noloads.  I'm assuming that you were upgrading a 
working installation of Asterisk when this problem occurred (if not, it 
looks like the Debian package may be broken).  If you were upgrading, 
try this:

First:

cd /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/
rm *.so

Then:

Recompile Asterisk.  You may need to recompile anything else that put 
loadable modules into that directory, such as asterisk-addons, as well.

Does anyone out there know why "make clean" doesn't take care of this 
task?  I spent a few hours dealing with the same situation, assuming 
something was wrong with my config files or the new CVS release before I 
stumbled across this simple fix.  Some modules would fail with an error 
message, while others would seg fault.

I hope this was helpful,

PS - To the list: I'm sorry if I've broken etiquette by basically 
copying and pasting my response to multiple people having similar 
problems.  If there is a better way to address an issue when more than 
one person is experiencing it, please let me know.
