You are getting this because your dial plan is trying to 
send the connection to ZAP/g2 which is any zap channel in 
group number 2.

If you look in your zapata.conf below, you do not even 
have a group defined.

Trying cleaning up your extensions.conf so it is a little 
more readable. I understand that you may just be getting 
started, but it is really difficult to try and decipher 
your extensions.conf file the way it is.
