Hi all We've had a very strange failure on an Asterisk 1.8 install that has been running for about a year at a customer site.
The physical hardware is fine, all other services off the Centos 6.5 server are running. Only Asterisk is not working... The first symptom was that no calls can be made over the SIP phones used with it, and no calls could be received over the SIP trunk connected to it. I checked and noted that sip show peers in the CLI would either do nothing (e. g. just show asterisk*cli> again, with no response) or it would return only this: asterisk*CLI> sip show peers Name/username Host Dyn Forcerport ACL Port Status asterisk*CLI> A module show like sip also does literally nothing, just asterisk*cli> module show like sip asterisk*CLI> Soon after this, I lost the capacity to get any response if I do an asterisk -r on the commandline - it would just hang indefintely. Did a reboot, and then, I couldnt start asterisk at all - entering # asterisk would also just hang. So, I recompiled asterisk from source and reinstalled the executable and all the module files. Still the same. I happened to have an older asterisk executable from a few months before laying around and sha256summed it - and there was a difference in the checksum vs. the non-working asterisk binary - BUT it turned out that the newly recompiled asterisk binary has the SAME SHA256 checksum as the non-working asterisk binary. System seems fine otherwise, nothing relevant in /var/log/messages or dmesg indicating a hardware failure. /var/log/asterisk/messages also contains no strange warnings or errors. Anybody got any idea why I cannot resuscitate my Asterisk install, even after recompiling it from scratch from source? Why would asterisk die like this in the first place?
