Re: [asterisk-users] Extensions Reload | Asterisk Freezes ? 1.4
I can confirm this issue. And my setup is similar to yours. kristijan 2010/4/19 Positively Optimistic positivelyoptimis...@gmail.com: Good day.. We have what I consider to be a large dialplan (-= 1501 extensions (2559 priorities) in 99 contexts. =-) If we have more than 10 or so channels up (all SIP, no TDM) and issue the extensions reload command.. quite often, asterisk will completely freeze up... requiring us to either kill and restart the process or restart the box... I should probably also share that when watching the log files, at the time the extensions reload command executes... there are no exceptions and/or issues reported while parsing the dialplan... Has anyone in the community experienced this.. and/or have any suggestions ? -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

When you say it freezes up, does it happen for a long time, or a short time (i.e. are you restarting because you can't wait for it to finish reloading, or whatever it is doing)? When you are reloading the dialplan, do you have verbosity enabled or disabled? I find calls can be locked from doing anything while the dialplan is reloading, and if you're doing it remotely with verbosity enabled, this can make it take longer than necessary. If Asterisk locks up, perhaps it is some sort of deadlock.

Re: [asterisk-users] Extensions Reload | Asterisk Freezes ? 1.4
Thanks for the response Mr. Madsen... Typically we leave verbosity set at 20... with debugging disabled. (0). It is a somewhat older version of asterisk..and I don't follow the release cycle too closely..I'll go digging through the release notes and see if I can identify any notes regarding this specific issue... Is anyone experiencing this on a later release..? We don't really see a point in upgrading unless it adds a feature or the upgrade is known to resolve a problem.. upgrading for the sake of upgrading hasn't been something we practice and, knock on wood, it's been extremely stable with this one exception... oh!! i forgot, DNS, or the lack thereof, also tends to kill asterisk... kill as in, freeze solid, so, with these two exceptions... it's solid as a rock.. Connected to Asterisk 1.4.16.1 currently running on sw0 (pid = 2421) Verbosity is at least 20 -Original Message- From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Leif Madsen Sent: Monday, April 19, 2010 10:00 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Extensions Reload | Asterisk Freezes ? 1.4 Positively Optimistic wrote: We have what I consider to be a large dialplan (-= 1501 extensions (2559 priorities) in 99 contexts. =-) If we have more than 10 or so channels up (all SIP, no TDM) and issue the extensions reload command.. quite often, asterisk will completely freeze up... requiring us to either kill and restart the process or restart the box...
