I just setup an Asterisk system on a small Shuttle box; I am only using
SIP channels and have no FXO/FXS cards. The system works fine in that I
can call my inbound number (Broadvoice) and have the system answer and
I can make outgoing calls. The problem is that every time I want to
change something in the sip.conf file, I have to do a 'restart now'
instead of a 'reload' or 'sip reload' as it hangs and stops
processing
calls or responding on the CLI. I tracked this down to something
dealing with the peers I have in sip.conf. However, I removed all peers
and just placed a simple friend in sip.conf (right from the sample
file):
[xlite1]
;Turn off silence suppression in X-Lite ("Transmit Silence"=YES)!
;Note that Xlite sends NAT keep-alive packets, so qualify=yes is not
needed
type=friend
regexten=1234 ; When they register, create extension
1234
username=xlite1
callerid="Jane Smith" <5678>
host=dynamic
nat=yes ; X-Lite is behind a NAT router
canreinvite=no ; Typically set to NO if behind NAT
disallow=all
allow=gsm ; GSM consumes far less bandwidth than
ulaw
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
From the Asterisk CLI, I do:
sip show peers
It shows the one peer
and then sip reload
and then
sip show peers
and it is blank with the system being hung.
I've searched high and low for a solution, reinstalled Linux (Fedora
Core 3), reinstalled Asterisk (I enabled the ztdummy module), and have
used the sample config with the same results (for the sample, I just
uncomment the above). Since I used the sample without modifications,
the fact that I'm using it behind NAT shouldn't make a difference.
Any ideas on what is causing this? Is there any additional information
I can provide for assistance?
Thanks.

We also need to know whether you've added any patches or any other additional modules.
Sorry about not including the additional info (I realized right after I sent the message of my mistake): Fedora Core 3 (from ISO images); no updates applied Asterisk from CVS (as of this morning) Zaptel from CVS Libpri from CVS No extra Patches No Extra modules Hardware is a Shuttle SS51G w/ Intel Celeron 2.4 GHz; 512 MB RAM; 80 GB Western Digital hard drive. DHCP Assigned address from my main server (address is actually static based on MAC address) No firewall is active I'm more than happy to run gdb to see where the lockup is, but I'm a bit rusty on how to debug a multi-threaded app using gdb. Thanks in advance for any assistance. -- Scott Gruby <mailto:scott@gruby.com> <http://www.gruby.com/>
I have the same problems with the reload command. I found, it is the chan_sip.so which causes the hang. A simple reload of chan_sip.so leaves asterisk in this state, where it does not react on any commands in the CLI. I've tried to open a bug on bugtracker for it, but I was told it would be a dupe of bug 3246 which deals with a system crash. Scince this hang isn't really a crash, I wasn't able to use gdb to get some backtrack informations. Maybe with some instructions on how to get more informations out of the hung system, I could give all of us more needfull details to solve this problem. I found this problem first in December in CVS-HEAD-12/31/04. the STABLE Version didn't have this problem. I have the same installation of asterisk running on three different hardware platforms, all with the same failure. All these systems are running stable with Fedora FC2. With actual CVS-HEAD-01/08/05 the problem remains. Thanks to all Guido

Dave, yes I have an external registration to sipgate. I commented register => xxxxxxx:yyyyyyy@sipgate.de/xxxxxx in sip.conf in context general, but the problem still remains. Do I have to comment out the sipgate context in sip.conf as well?
