Does /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl exist

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hi,

I have asterisk 11.25
I did a core restart now and after that asterisk keeps stopping

if I run asterisk -cvvvv , asterisk starts and stops but sometimes give error “privilege escalation protection disabled asterisk”

If I run asterisk -rvvvv it gives error “Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl exist?)”

ownership for /var/run/asterisk is root and if I try to change
chown -R asterisk /var/run/asterisk
chown: invalid user: ‘asterisk’

SELinux is disabled

I think there was issue with cdr table, I disabled it and it started.

But still for some extensions its giving me
Everyone is busy/congested at this time (1:0/0/1)

sip debug shows 404, but peer is reachable and outbound calls are working

404 would be extension not found in context.

5

extension is reachable and able to make outbound calls. but getting busy / congested when try dial to that extension whereas issue with context gives error “extension not found in context”,

6

Extensions cannot make outbound calls! They are dial plan constructs which receive calls.

Oh okay, but sip show peers is showing me its registered

Please suggest what can I do to resolve this issue

Provide the correct context for the incomign peer, or provide an extension in the existing context, for that peer, that matches the digits it is sending.

@david551 here is complete scenario

Everything was running smooth since last 2 years. today we were unable to dial one extension and some channels were stuck so I did core restart now, after that DB Table named cdr crashed so I disabled it and was able to start asterisk. Now I’m unable to dial most of the extensions (I’m able to dial a few), so it can’t be a context issue

Also if digits are not matched, shouldn’t it give error “extension not found in context”?

11

I configured the same extension on softphone and its working, but not on cisco 7960 / 7940. Not sure why suddenly stopped working on cisco phones

12

Solved the issue, For some reason my router was blocking connections randomly

Thank you for your help @david551
