Asterisk 13 unable to read the extensions.conf file

I have an odd issue, asterisk was work just fine, then it suddenly stopped working. when i make a call it always replay with code 404, which means user not found, which means it can’t read the extensions.conf file, also when i do the command dialplan reload in asterisk cli, it replies with command not found, also when i do the command core reload in asterisk cli nothing happend. i tried to restart the service and restart the server and still no solution. please help me with this problem.

In my case it was a stray letter at the beginning of extensions.conf Took me a few hours to figure that out.

Using pico to edit the file, CTL W is the search feature. Guess I didn’t hold down CTL and a W as added as the first letter of the file. Remove it, and all is well.
