[asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.8.32.1 -- Asterisk Hangs, FXOl DAHDI Channels Go Off-Hook, Operator FXS- Ringing

[Vladimir Mikhelson]

So far it happened two (2) times, last time yesterday. Opened case with Asterisk https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-24593

All FXO channels went off-hook, Operator FXS was constantly ringing. If I picked a handset there was a dead silence.  If I put it back on hook it would start ringing.

FreePBX interface would not operate properly. Specifically it was slow to authenticate, then some irrelevant messages were presented in the upper left corner of the browser tab.

I tried to execute "core stop now" on the console and it would just hang.

I was able to stop the Asterisk by connecting from another session and executing "core stop now" the second time.

After the restart everything was back to normal.

Technical details.

/var/log/asterisk/full shows a number of messages like the following:
