Intermittent Busy Signal - invite problem?

Intermittently incoming calls get a busy signal. Without doing anything about 15 minutes later calls go through sometimes. Usually I restart Asterisk.

I asked for info from my service provider:
Your system IP 79.55.41 is sending a 401 Unauthorized message to generate the busy. Could you review the system logs to see why the system is doing this?

Any suggestions what’s going wrong?

You haven’t provided your sip.conf.

I can’t find the failed call anywhere in your logs.

Also, in the unlikely event that there is a bug in the channel driver, it won’t get investigated or fixed, because chan_sip is no longer supported.

Thanks for info.

I was trying different versions of extensions.conf and sip.conf

Now nothing works. Even old versions of the files aren’t working. Another all-nighter ahead.

I guess I need another topic. Using /etc/init.d/asterisk status it’s “active
exited” and “asterisk -rvv” doesn’t work.

I can’t understand how this happened.

More and more errors.

Read somewhere to reboot the machine and it worked!
