PJSIP.CONF Reverting to default on reboot

Asterisk Asterisk Support

Every time I reboot the Server, I lose all config changes in pjsip.conf.

Current system.

Asterisk 13
FreePBX 13.0.192.16
Red Hat 4.4.7-17
2.6.32-642.6.2.el6.x86_64 GNU/Linux

What are you doing that you believe should update that file? Did you mean pjsip.conf?

Hi David

Yes pjsip.conf
I am new to this so I may be missing out vital steps. I am simply creating 2 x endpoints in the config, then creating a dial plan so that 2 phones can call each other, Please see below. It works fine but every time I reboot the server, my version is overwritten with the default pjsip.conf.

PJSIP.CONF
[transport-udp]
type=transport
protocol=udp
bind=0.0.0.0

[6002]
type=endpoint
context=Internal-Users
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
auth=6002
aors=6002

[6002]
type=auth
auth_type=userpass
password=mysecret
username=6002

[6002]
type=aor
max_contacts=1

[6001]
type=endpoint
context=Internal-Users
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
auth=6001
aors=6001

[6001]
type=auth
auth_type=userpass
password=mysecret
username=6001

[6001]
type=aor
max_contacts=1

EXTENSIONS.CONF
[Internal-Users]
exten = 6002,1,Dial(PJSIP/6002,20)
exten = 6001,1,Dial(PJSIP/6001,20)

There isn’t a default pjsip.conf, only a sample one, and that is only installed by make configs. Even then, it is not installed if one already exists.

I wonder if you are using a GUI. GUis, like FreePBX, are not part of Asterisk, and not supported, here, but they do tend to take ownership of most top level configuration files.

Hi David.

Thanks for the reply. I am changing the name of the sample file below and creating a new one with the config detailed above. There is a GUI but I have not made changes in this way. Then, on reboot, the file is overwritten with the sample file again.

mv pjsip.conf pjsip.conf.sample
nano pjsip.conf

As stated in the file you can’t touch it, FreePBX will overwrite and take control of it. Even creating a new file won’t work. It will still get replaced.

Hi all

Thanks for the input. I made the changes in pjsip_custom.conf and extensions_custom.conf. I have rebooted the server and the config changes remain. The system now works as I wanted it to.

Thanks once again.
