Problems running Asterisk / RHEL

[kmreed]

Good Day,

I have just (actually, two hours ago) compiiled and installed Asterisk. Unfortunately, when I try to start asterisk at the command line, I see a couple errors in the output - and then am back to the command prompt:

(sorry so long, wanted to make sure I didn’t miss anything prior)

A couple things jump out at me:

Feb 3 04:07:01 WARNING[22514]: res_musiconhold.c:833 moh_register: Unable to open pseudo channel for timing… Sound may be choppy.

AND

Segmentation fault[/quote]
which actually causes the fault.

Any suggestions? Installed on RHEL. FYI, this is installed with the sample config files.

Thanks in advance.

If you don’t need that module, add an entry to modules.conf

noload res_netsec.so

Cheers,
