Asterisk messages popups in the terminal!?

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hi,

I just installed Asterisk18 and is experience a annoying problem. Whenever i use vi to edit a file, messages from Asterisk popups in the terminal window, what’s up with that?? And how can i stop these messages from poping up?

2

What messages? Are you sure you aren’t seeing messages from dahdi?

Hi,

Whenever i try to edit something with vi, messages from asterisk pupup and mess up my text in the vi editor. It is the same messages that popup when i run reload in CLI. I just don’t understand why they popup when i am editing something with vi. I find it verry strange !#%?

You have not provided any new information. What are the actual error messages?

(Also, how did you install Asterisk, and how did you start it?)

5

delete your logger.conf and create new one with info provided in other post and restart asterisk and see if issue goes away. How you start your asterisk and what os are you running it on.

I’am running CentOS 5 (final) and installed asterisk 1.8 via yum. I deleted the logger.conf and created the one you told me to, i also set the right premissinos to the file. But it did not help.

I have made a video of what’s happening, you can view it here -> mrmagne.com/files/popup.avi

  1. Installed CentOS 5 (final)

  2. yum -y upgrade

  3. Setup Asterisk repo acording to asterisk.org/downloads/yum

  4. yum install asterisk18 asterisk18-configs asterisk18-voicemail dahdi-linux dahdi-tools libpri

  5. asterisk -vvvgci

8

is there startup script that will start your asterisk at boot time ? it should be in /etc/init.d/

Yes,

I should mention that i’am on a cloud server.

If you are doing this:

how are you managing to run the editor on the same console?

Asterisk will not perform well on a VM unless the VM host’s work load is carefully tailored.

lol… Started a new putty session and that solved the problem. Thanks to you both :smile:
