For starters, please provide a more descriptive subject for your
message. Something like "cannot find extension context 'from-sip'" would
be better than nothing.

Also see my reply inline.

Could you please provide the relevant parts of your extensions.conf ? 

Do you connect from a SIP channel? What is the context of that channel?

I can also recommend http://xorcom.com/rapid, which is a Sarge with a
better Asterisk. But then again I'm not an impartial observer.

Not that much. See the above link for a shortcut (also note the license,
