[asterisk-users] [URGENT] Zap channels fail to load

[Andres Jimenez]

I have spent some time this morning trying to add an Astribank to our
current Asterisk, but it failed, so I just removed the hardware,
restore the config files to the original setup and started asterisk.;

I could see that no Zap channels are started so I did load chan_zap.so:
pbx*CLI> module load chan_zap.so
[Feb 26 10:32:18] WARNING[3809]: pbx.c:2968 ast_register_application:

  == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf': Found

[Feb 26 10:32:18] ERROR[3809]: chan_zap.c:10527 build_channels: Unable

Fair enough. I did unloaded chan_zap.so (because of the first error)
and tried again:

pbx*CLI> module load chan_zap.so
[Feb 26 10:32:18] WARNING[3809]: pbx.c:2968 ast_register_application:

It looks like the problem is in the zap card's first channel:

Is there any change any Astribank related stuff can be causing this?

I have ensured that no Astribanks modules are loaded and even rebooted
the box, but no success.
