Asterisk not starting after reboot

I have a customer that I installed TB PRO SE a few weeks ago. He rebooted his TB server today and called me in a panic because he could not make or receive any calls and hud would not connect.

So after remoting to his system I tried to go to asterisk -r and it said can not find remote server or something to that effect. So not knowing really what was going on I just typed in "service asterisk start" and asterisk and hud started right away.

I tried rebooting the server 3 more times before I just typed in service asterisk start and it never would start up. What would cause asterisk not to start up on system startup?

There are a number of things

There are a number of things that can cause this problem. Most of them are related to an incomplete or failed activation.

Check /etc/rc.local for the line that starts asterisk on boot:

> /etc/init.d/asterisk start

Thanks,
Mike

This is what I have in my

This is what I have in my rc.local

On another note, the activation completed ok (as far as I could tel), but it did give me a sync error, which I called support and got the server synced up.

#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local

# Load modules and start asterisk
/etc/init.d/asterisk start

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restartssl
/var/adm/bin/check_voicemail.pl
/usr/local/sbin/atftpd --daemon --group nobody --logfile /var/log/tftp.log

/usr/sbin/ntpdate tick.ucla.edu > /dev/null 2>&1

Hey Mike,I had them restart

Hey Mike,

I had them restart the server again tonight and asterisk did not start again. Is there any way you can check to make sure that the activation has completed fully?

Or if not do you have any more pointers on what to look for with this issue?

Server ID is 119687

Thanks
Derek

There is a known issue with the startup procedure that will be fixed shortly. If your system is not starting asterisk properly you can forcably start asterisk using the following command:

> /etc/init.d/asterisk start

OR

> service asterisk start

Thanks,

We are experiencing a similar issue...

...after transferring our configuration from a 2.2 trixbox (VM) to a new 2.6 trixbox(physical) we too are required to manually start asterisk.
