[Asterisk-Users] Re: Application, Dialplan not loading

[Moshe Yudkowsky]

strace does show that that modules.conf loads:

> open("/etc/asterisk/modules.conf", O_RDONLY) = 8

And that I do get some of the channels loading, e.g., the modem channel:

> open("/usr/local/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_modem.so", O_RDONLY) = 8

And if I load the apps via "load app_playback.so",

> open("/usr/local/lib/asterisk/modules/app_playback.so", O_RDONLY) = 25

so it's not as if though load can't find the apps in the directory. 
Autoload doesn't load them.

Other notes:

* I have only sound cards, no hardware. Since as far as I can tell -- 
documentation doesn't seem to cover this issue --  I must have some 
interface running in order to load a context, I've done the following on 
my machine, which uses ALSA for sound. I've proceeded in stages trying 
various combinations:


+ alsa.conf:

context=default

+ oss.conf:

context=default

+ sip.conf:

context=demo

+ extentions.conf:

[default]
include => demo

I've tried other permutations, including simplified dial plans, pointing 
  sip.conf directly at the default context, etc.

Regardless, "dial 500" doesn't work from the console, and neither does 
"dial 500 at demo".

"show dialplan" shows only the "parkedcalls" dialplan from parking.conf.

* This is a *change* in behaviour. I *was* able to get this to work 
previously. The only major change in my system is that I'm using alsa 
0.9.4 that I compiled myself -- but that version of alsa works better 
than previous versions.

* The pre-compiled .deb's from the official Debian have the same 
problem. (This problem started after I recompiled the CVS to help 
resolve the problem with the official Debian. Silly me...)

* I attach to this email a text file, listing.cvs, with some output that 
shows the current state of the system.

(NOTE: I modified the makefile every so slightly to place asterisk 
entirely in the /usr/local/[s]bin & /var/local directories, especially 
as I implemented "uninstall" and didn't want a development error wiping 
out the /usr/[s]bin  directories. However, the problem I've described 
occurs even if I load everything into non-local/ directories, so it's 
not vestigal hardcode as far as I can tell.)

I would appreciate any thought you have on this matter.
