Hi folks.
Since this is probably more of an Asterisk issue, I’m cross-posting this from the FreePBX board.
I’m still taking baby steps with asterisk, but I’ve set it up just fine with a Fritz!card PCI and chan_capi and played around with some simple extensions and all was fine. Then I installed FreePBX and all was still fine. Then, after not really doing anything fancy in FreePBX (just adding a single trunk+extension+incoming route), asterisk suddenly wouldn’t start anymore. It just exits silently during startup, no error message in verbose output, no segfault, no nothing.
Here’s a snippet from the log:
