My Asterisk (fresh CVS) takes 98% of the system load on my FreeBSD server. On a slower CPU linux system, Asterisk runs at 0.1% - both without any active channels... Any ideas, anyone recognizing the problem? /O

If it is, take a look at the * logs for signs of what it might be. We've seen this happen on a lab RH9 system, but its usually while we been doing other unusual things. (In our case, two extra instances of mpg consuming the ~98%; copying *.conf files to a second system that didn't actually have any x100p cards in it, etc.) FWIW, I'm running yesterday's cvs on two RH9 systems just fine.

That should be a big clue. My guess is that the difference you see is due to different implementations of pthreads. Have you tried running a debugger? Most of us don't have BSD systems and can't help. But if it were me a debugger would be my first step. IMO gdb is a pain to use. I like "ddd".

It will tell you what system calls your process is executing while it is doing this. Perry
I've tried to summarize my experiences of Asterisk on a FreeBSD system: http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+FreeBSD If you have facts to add, please mail me off list or edit the Wiki page. /Olle
Hi there,
Has anyone had much success installing Asterisk on FreeBSD 5 upwards?
If so what are the packages required to get asterisk working.
Thanks

Hello, Asterisk in FreeBSD ports is currently FORBIDDEN due to security issues raised in pwlib (H323). As I just want to test Asterisk internally at this point I commented out the FORBIDDENs and compiled it with no problems. Unfortunately though, I can't seem to get any SIP softphones to register with Asterisk. I have tried SJPhone on Windows and KPhone and Linphone under FreeBSD. At the Asterisk console I've turned the sip debug on, but don't see anything at all. (no SIP traffic). I have followed the quickstart quide and configured things in sip.conf, but with no success. At this stage, and someone please confirm that Asterisk is really working on FreeBSD ? :) The version I installed is 0.7.2, running on FreeBSD 4.7. many thanks, Richard
Hello, ereyone!
I have just installed Asterix on my FreeBSD (-current) box
I'm planning to use it as H323 PBX for softphones
Currently I'm stuck in transfering a call to another machine
running H323 client
When I define forwarding address as H323/ip$192.168.1.77|20|r
Asterisk will crash immediately with Segmentation Fault when trying
to transfer
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x289f1314 in _init () from /usr/local/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_h323.so
(gdb) x/3i $eip
0x289f1314 <_init+12668>: cmpb $0x0,(%eax)
0x289f1317 <_init+12671>: je 0x289f1327 <_init+12687>
0x289f1319 <_init+12673>: sub $0xc,%esp
When I define call forwarding address as:
H323/ip$192.168.1.77/|20|r i.e. additional "/" after IP
It will perfectly connect and transfer call if there is H323 cli running
If target machine is powered off or no software is running it will behave
weird
It will eat 100% cpu, hang forever and transmit silence to caller
However tracing h.323 shows that it indeed detects that there is no
H.323 connection to target avaible
-- PBX1 is calling host ip$192.168.1.77
-- Call token is ip$localhost/25892
-- Call reference is 25892
-- Called ip$192.168.1.77
-- No phone running for ip$192.168.1.77:1720
== H.323 Connection deleted.
Any help will be much appreciated.
I will be glad to provide any required debuggin info, etc.
Cheers,
AL.
Hi Guys, I'm very interested if somebody using asterisk on FreeBSD and not Linux without problem ?
