Howdy TimeBandit, thanks for replying...

I tried your suggestions and it made no difference, so I went back to
AMP and removed entry pointing to custom-myapp, leaving the other two
that I had also created earlier, which worked.

Now when I dial in the digital receptionist doesn`t do anything, and the
call just disconnects. Here is the output of the CLI from the time the
call is initiated, to termination :

======================
 Starting simple switch on 'Zap/4-1'
    -- Executing GotoIf("Zap/4-1", "0?from-pstn-reghours|s|1:") in new
stack
    -- Executing GotoIf("Zap/4-1", "0?from-pstn-afthours|s|1:") in new
stack
    -- Executing GotoIfTime("Zap/4-1", "||*|*?from-pstn-reghours|s|1:")
in new stack
    -- Goto (from-pstn-reghours,s,1)
    -- Executing GotoIf("Zap/4-1", "0?from-pstn-reghours-nofax|s|1:2")
in new stack
    -- Goto (from-pstn-reghours,s,2)
    -- Executing Answer("Zap/4-1", "") in new stack
    -- Executing Wait("Zap/4-1", "1") in new stack
    -- Executing SetVar("Zap/4-1", "intype=") in new stack
    -- Executing Cut("Zap/4-1", "intype=intype|-|1") in new stack
    -- Executing GotoIf("Zap/4-1", "0?7:9") in new stack
    -- Goto (from-pstn-reghours,s,9)
    -- Executing GotoIf("Zap/4-1", "0?10:12") in new stack
    -- Goto (from-pstn-reghours,s,12)
    -- Executing Goto("Zap/4-1", "|s|1") in new stack
    -- Goto (,s,1)
    -- Hungup 'Zap/4-1'
========================

So I reload, and I notice that there are a few entries which seem a bit
suspect :

========================
<snip>
== Parsing '/etc/asterisk/extconfig.conf': Not found (No such file or
directory)
<snip>
== Parsing '/etc/asterisk/adsi.conf': Not found (No such file or
directory)
<snip>
Reloading MGCP
  == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/mgcp.conf': Not found (No such file or
directory)
<snip>
========================

Based on the recommendations on the AMP site, I should not manually edit
the extensions.conf, extensions_custom.conf and
extensions_additional.conf files, so if removing the entries via AMP
does not solve the problem, how do I go about fixing this ?

Commenting out the lines inserted by AMP into the above files does not
make a difference.

Does the custom-myapp entry I listed earlier (with corrections of
course) have to be in extensions_additional.conf as well?

Regards
