asterisk users - Nov 2013 - Call files without permission for asterisk to read

Hi all,
I am syncing call files on my secondary asterisk server but without
permission to read for asterisk. So they should be executed when I grant
the right permissions (thats when my primary asterisk server crashes or
shutsdown somehow). But asterisk only tries to read the file at the time of
placing the file. So when i grant right permissions nothing happens. Is
there any workaround to this problem?

I need to continue the execution of call files on secondary server if
primary server fails. The call files are suppose to retry for 45 mins if
the call does not get connected.

Thanks in advance.

See https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Call+Files  Especially
the parts about creating the files in a different directory and the parts about
the scheduling call files.

Have you tried to restart asterisk after setting the correct permissions?

HTH,

When you activate the secondary, 'touch' the files in the spool
directory.
