Won't Register on Startup, Must Touch iax.conf and Reload

To be sure, I rebooted my machine last night and checked it this morning. Ran iax2 show registry and I was not registered. Touched iax.conf and then reloaded and was registered instantly. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: Forgot to include some details…
Asterisk 1.6.2.5-Oubuntu1
Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS (Linux 2.6.32-24-generic)
Teliax VOIP provider

what happens if you just restart asterisk? Did dit re-register at all (without the touch)?

Surprisingly, yes. I ran core restart now and was registered without any problems. Hmmmm… :question:

Hi I bet yo will find that

reload chan_iax2.so will also make it register, make sure you have qualify set as well

I think you can safely discount the touch from the equation and do one of the following:

verify your networking is not the issue (I.E. your router; for some reason [I guess experience] I always do this first as it was always the case in a past life)

turn on some sip debugging and watch the messages.

If David55 grabs this thread he can probably shed quite a bit of light on the messages…

Ian,
I have qualify set, as well as nat. I’m no asterisk expert yet, so I couldn’t tell if that command was a typo or not, but I ran the following commands and they did NOT cause registration to work:
reload chan_iax2.so
reload chan_iax2

Jake,
As far as networking it’s a simple setup. Everything is allowed out and TCP/UDP 4569 is forwarded to my asterisk box. I don’t think that’s the issue since it will register after a restart or touch&reload.

Possibly related, there are some warnings/notices when I run reload:

As a workaround, I’m restarting Asterisk automatically on startup, although it won’t work unless I first pause for 60 seconds.

/etc/rc.local

[code]# Pause for a minute, and then restart Asterisk

sleep 60
/etc/init.d/asterisk restart

exit 0[/code]
