[asterisk-users] Asterisk config files and #include

[Bryan Laird]

I don't have the source for 1.2.18 handy and didn't bother digging  
through my 1.4.4 tree looking but a quick grep for the
exact error you see didn't reveal anything... although i greped the  
typo in maaximum

However, correct that and that leads you to config.c
#define MAX_INCLUDE_LEVEL 10


I suspect if your nesting a lot of includes you would probably need  
to up this level.  I don't see a way to change this in asterisk.conf so
I would suggest if you really need to go that deep in includes edit  
this option re-compile and be happy.


**** NOTE ***
This was in 1.4.4 maybe different in your version.  I'm also not  
qualified to say from a quick glance if upping this limit has any  
negative impact
but I would imagine it wouldn't.... and is more to help keep from  
causing loops.
