Today I have been moving things around in our rack to allow for a new UPS. On firing up the server I can log in but I cannot connect to the Asterisk console in the usual manner: ‘asterisk -r’. Upon looking round, the phones have no service too.
If I connect instead using ‘asterisk -c’ I can see a list of errors thus:
WARNING[4253] : chan_zap.c:923 zt_open: unable to specify channel 1: no such device or address
here = 0, tmp->channel = 1, channel = 1
ERROR[4253] : chan_zap.c:10288 setup_zap: unable to register channel '1’
WARNING[4253] : loader.c:414__load_resource : chan_zap.so : load-m module failed, returning -1
WARNING[4253] : loader.c:554 load_modules: loading module chan_zap.so failed
First of all, when you moved the Asterisk-server I assume you powered down the server and restarted it in its new location ?
You were not able to connect to Asterisk remotely (asterisk -r) because the Asterisk proces was not started.
Make sure that the proces always starts at startup with chkconfig (if CentOS). !!
Second : if you ask me, the ZAP-errors are due to the zaptel drivers that are also not loaded at startup. Make sure the zapata drivers also start up together with the rest of the system !
If I try: chkconfig --list asterisk
I get: asterisk 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
If I try: chkconfig --list zaptel
I get: zaptel 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
Whether that is useful or indeed what it all that means is beyond me.
I have been fiddling with some of the asterisk configuration files recently, using psftp from a remote PC. It is possible, but very unlikely, that I have overwritten some other configuration file. I have been 'reload’ing the configuration quite happily before today. The server was rebooted quite happily perhaps a week ago.

I shut the thing down, opened the case, took out all the cards, ran the vacuum cleaner round inside, put everything back and - bingo - we’re working again.
Phew! What a relief!
I have a cheapo Motorola 62802 based X100 card that connects to an analogue line when all else fails. I think this was upset so that zaptel didn’t load cleanly.
Perhaps this will encourage me to build a second server and have that ready and waiting.
