This is not the first time i did this install… but on asterisk 1.2. I just installed Asterisk 1.4.6 as our back-up server. I am adding 10 channels of G729 codecs. I downloaded all the files needed and move them to the directories as per instructions. I download i686 and i386 versions of the codec. Tried both and have problems.
When registering, i don’t get any error messages. It allows me to register completely and giving me a registration successful message. However, when checking from asterisk, the codecs are not available. I have restarted asterisk and even rebooted the server to no joy. I don’t have codec_g729b.so in /usr/lib/asterisk/modules in case someone ask.
Thanks for that… yes… i have that file there and no I don’t have the codec_g729b.so there. Asterisk will not recognise the codec if you have both in the directory.
…seems to be a common problem. I am using Asterisk 1.4.8 and have exactly the same problem after loading 10 licences of g729.
On “module load codec_g729a.so”, I get error messages, i.e.
WARNING[1294]: loader.c:360 load_dynamic_module: Error loading module ‘codec_g729a.so’: /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/codec_g729a.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
