asterisk users - Nov 2009 - Asterisk crashes : Failed to start PBX

Hello,

I am using Asterisk 1.4.24.1 version in production.
OS is Centos 5.3 64 bit & RAM is 8 GB.
I am facing crash in asterisk approx each 12 hour.
When it crashes I see  below linesin asterisk logs.
[Nov 18 06:47:23] WARNING[8730] pbx.c: Failed to create new channel thread
[Nov 18 06:47:23] WARNING[8730] chan_sip.c: Failed to start PBX :(
I debugged asterisk source code in details &  I found that it happens
because it can not allocate memory to create thread.

Another thing is, when I check coredump using gdb, it's not showing any
debug symbols.

Would you please let me know how to prevent or resolve this?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi Neo,

have you checked your log files? It sometimes happened to me that 
Asterisk crashed without a reason. I discovered my logrotate didn't make 
its dirty work so I had huge log files. I lowered Asterisk log level and 
forced logrotate to work and now I have no more crashes.

Hope it may help. :)

Giorgio.
