Thanks Steve,<br><br>I figured out the problem. As you said correctly, <b>pbx_config.so</b> was not getting loaded because in my extensions.conf file one extra file "extensions.local.conf" was included which was actually not present in the directory. I have commented that line and did "<b>module load pbx_config.so</b>" to reload pbx_config.so and now I see both "dialplan reload" and my sip-external extensions correctly.<br>
<br>many many thanks to you for all your pointers and input. I hope this resolves my issue.<br>Thanks to Carlos too for pointing out the reason. Fortunately I am saved from extconfig.conf thing :)<br><br>Thanks,<br>Abhinav <br>

</div> The last time this happened to me was because extensions.conf had some<br>
strange characters that prevented it from loading. Also check that you<br>
are not trying to load it from a database by means of extconfig.conf<br>
