I installed the last version of Elastix (1.3) and after of this, the Asterisk don't load.

When introduce:

astersik -vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvc

The system gives me the following message in /var/log/asterisk/full:

[Oct 21 18:20:44] ERROR[4012] asterisk.c: Asterisk has detected a problem with your Zaptel configuration and will shutdown for your protection. You have options:
1. You only have to compile Zaptel support into Asterisk if you need it. One option is to recompile without Zaptel support.
2. You only have to load Zaptel drivers if you want to take advantage of Zaptel services. One option is to unload zaptel modules if you don't need them.
3. If you need Zaptel services, you must correctly configure Zaptel.


¿What happen?

The machine in that i'm installing the Elastix is an:

HP Proliant DL385G2

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi!

Why you use asterisk in console mode?
You must use asterisk in remote mode!

>asterisk -rvvvvv and not
>asterisk -cvvvvvvv

• -c Provide console CLI
  -r Connect to Asterisk on this machine
  -v Increase verbosity (multiple v's = more verbose)

If asterisk work, you must use asterisk -rvvvv.
If asterisk don't work, you can use asterisk -cvvvvv

Excuse me, i didn't see the "Why" - zaptel! :blush:

So... you have installed a specific board like TDM or other?
Have you make an yum update? Maybe there is a valid update to zaptel!?

 

[seaq]

Hi!

I'm not using a TDM board; i'm working with the TZDUMMY that comes in the standard installation.

But i've installed the Elastix 1.3 in a Virtual Machine and other PC, and no appears said problem.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have the same problem using the following hardware:

ASUS RS100-X5/PI2 Intel 1U Server with Intel Duo Core CPU with 2 onboard Marvel 8056 GbE LAN controllers

The same install worked fine on other machine.

 

[itjumper]

I noticed that if you restart zaptel manually, then asterisk will start (manually) ok. But sometimes, asterisk will keep auto restarting if it failed to restart

 

[seaq]

Hi;

I've solved the issue like this:

vi /etc/asterisk/modules.conf

add the line...

noload => chan_zap.so

... afther that it works

The problem is caused by not having Zaptel hardware in the machine.

 

[seaq]

After to restart the system the problem comes back, but this time the Asterisk don't load.

In the follwing link suggest:

Downgrading Asterisk to initial release.

Thanks again.

Asterisk starts successfully every time if zaptel service is disable at startup. I used webmin to disable it

Hi Itjumper;

Do you have any card (for zaptel drivers) installed in your system?

 

[itjumper]

No card

 

[gregec]

I have same problem after upgrading...

If I unload zaptel genzaptelconf -su
then Asteerisk load, but I do not know if it is ok to work without zaptel?

Any suggestions?

 

[itjumper]

zaptel is only required if you need to interface with PSTN, via either an analog or a digital card.

I have one machine that had this problem when no card was installed. Then the problem went away afrer I installed a Rhino T1 card.

I think you must have no card installed.

 

[gregec]

Thank you for answer.

I do not have any card installed, that's why it is strange how come that after upgrade it report this error. I even tried to rescan for zaptel card and it does not find anything, change zaptel.conf but error is same. I can not start aterisk unless I unload zaptel...

I do not know how to reinstall dummy drivers. I think this is problem that after upgrade dummy zaptel is gone.

I read somewhere that even if asterisk does not have zaptel cards it has to has loaded zaptel module because of timing?

I can report now that I have problems with installation now when i unload zaptel module. Exstensions are registered but can not make internal calls beetwen exstension... I will do reinstall :-(((
