[asterisk-users] asterisk.conf ignored?

[Stefan Viljoen]

Hi all

 

I'm trying to limit the maximum concurrent calls on my Asterisk to try and
mitigate another problem I posted about earlier.

 

I've edited

 

/etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf

 

And uncommented this line, and put a value of 60 in there:

 

maxcalls = 60

 

in an effort to limit my Asterisk to 60 simultaneous calls.

 

I did a 

 

core reload

 

in the CLI after doing that.

 

Any idea why my running instance totally ignores this setting? I still goes
right ahead and services unlimited numbers of simultaneous calls - we have
90 extensions or so and it will happily service 90 simultaneous calls in
spite of asterisk.conf clearly stating

 

maxcalls = 60

 

The "maxload" specification is also ignored, load can go anywhere the
Asterisk instance keeps taking more calls despite load exceeding, for
example

 

maxload = 10

 

in /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf

 

What am I doing wrong that the asterisk binary is apparently ignoring
settings in /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf?

 

Thanks

 

Stefan
