SV: [asterisk-users] Help debugging strange asterisk behaviour

Wed Aug 2 04:24:47 MST 2006

I'm thinking this could be a queue problem?

But I still don't understand why the hell it just flips out after a few hours. Now it all ran for about 12 hours since last reboot (longest so far). And this config worked on my old install of asterisk...

Problem description (one of them):
Incoming call gets answered and processed all the way to "exten => 1,n,Queue(1000|tTn|||300)". But it seems like the queue doesn't pick up the call, nothing happens. No MoH, no nothing, just silence. Caller is not sent to free agent. It just "hangs" there.

Example of incomming call that gets sent to queue (from extensions_custom.conf):

exten => 1,1,Macro(custom-callerid,${CALLERIDNUM},SPARR)
exten => 1,n,Wait(2)
exten => 1,n,Set(QUEUE_PRIO=10)
exten => 1,n,Set(MONITOR_FILENAME=/new/monitor/queues/${TIMESTAMP}-${CALLERID(name)}-${CALLERID(num)}-${UNIQUEID})
exten => 1,n,Queue(1000|tTn|||300)
exten => 1,n,Macro(failover-alarm,SPARR,custom-incoming-3000,1,4)

My queues_custom.conf:

I think I'm using native since I don't recall installing anything else (except lame codec). How do I check which I am using? I'm unfortunately no asterisk expert that's why I need your help! ;)

My musiconhold.conf (I have no musiconhold_additional.conf):
;
; Music on hold class definitions
; This is using the new 1.2 config file format, and will not work with 1.0 ; based Asterisk systems ; [default] mode=files
directory=/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3
#include musiconhold_additional.conf

Thanks very much for your time!

Regards,
Jan

Are you using mpg123 for MoH or native?  What's in your musiconhold.conf?
