<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was wondering if anyone else out there has had
issues with Asterisk after doing a reload with a number of users
on.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I fixed a minor bug in my dial plan and did a
reload, and I seemed to have a corrupt config file afterwards. I am also
considering there may have been some kind of an issue with copying the
files. I keep a seperate copy on a test server, and I copied over to
Asterisk before doing the reload. I was getting errors that were basically
indicating parts of my dial plan were missing (error indicated I was sending
control to priorities that did not exist but they should have). I stopped
Asterisk and rebooted the machine and the errors still occured. I copied
the files over from my test machine a second time, restarted Asterisk, and
everything worked beautifully (as it had on the test machine during the whole
process).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have some concern the reload may have been
related to this problem, which is serious because it pretty much took down our
ability to take calls. It seems like it could have been an error occuring
in the process of copying hte files also. For the record I ftp the files
between machines to a seperate directory and then "cp" them into the asterisk
config directory.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any feedback especially on doing reloads with high
call volume and using queues etc, would be appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
