Great.
Let me know how your policy works out.
I would not mind trying it myself.
I have no intrinsic objection to doing things the right way but 
sometimes one just needs to get the phones working!

Dan – you probably installed the init script (look in /etc/init.d for 
an ‘asterisk’ file).  Asterisk includes the older init style scripts 
which are *compatible* with systemd but you don’t have as much control 
compared to creating an Asterisk systemd file.  (SystemD service files 
replace InitD scripts).  So that might be part of the solution, but first…


If disabling Selinux allows Asterisk to run as you expect then you can 
create an selinux policy exception for Asterisk – BUT, ignore that for 
now.  Just keep SElinux disabled (edit /etc/sysconfig/selinux and set 
to disabled) and come back to that later.


So in preparation to diagnose further:

1.Disable asterisk service (systemctl disable asterisk)

2.Disable selinux (as described above)

3.Reboot.

Next, try to start asterisk with ‘systemctl start asterisk’.  Does it 
work as expected?  If no, what user have you logged in with?


If not root, su to root and try again.  Did it asterisk service start 
properly?


If yes, you should create a systemd service file and use the 
‘user=root’ parameter (and remove the initd service script).


Does Asterisk start properly now every time?  If yes re-enable to your 
systemd Asterisk service to start with the system.


I don’t see any attachment (probably stripped by the list manager) but 
that shouldn’t matter – if your Asterisk service is not running as 
root that would explain a range of strange behaviours.

Thanks Jason.

I will try to explain what I’m seeing for this issue.

I did a fresh install of CentOS 7 Minimal into a VM with VMWare 
Workstation.  Followed the Asterisk from Source instructions using 
pjproject 2.6 and asterisk 13.14.0 for the configure, install, …   At 
the end of the asterisk portion, I ran the make config which I 
understand installs the Initialization scripts.


After this, when I restart my CentOS 7 Minimal, I was seeing the 
safe_asterisk process, but asterisk would not start.  I could run it 
from the command line and it would run.


It was suggested that it’s an selinux problem.  They had me try 
‘setenforce 0’.  After this, asterisk process starts running.


As I understand it, there was mention of using systemd instead of 
using safe_asterisk.


Other e-mails indicated I should look at the audit.log, so I included 
that information.  This audit.log mentioned astdb.sqlite3, so I wasn’t 
sure if that’s the problem.


I also just tried a restart and ran ‘systemctl start asterisk’.  This 
did not start the asterisk process.


Through the various recommendations, I’ve become confused on what the 
correct path would be.  I have had zero problems with Debian and 
Asterisk for many years.  Making the change to CentOS.  Followed the 
instructions from asterisk.org, but for some reason I hit a problem 
with this on my CentOS VM.

Re: [asterisk-users] Having problem getting Asterisk to work on CentOS 7

[Ron Wheeler]

Have you tried to turn of Selinux permanently?
I don't see why it would be required on a system that has no users.
In /etc/selinux/config I set SELINUX to disabled

# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of three two values:
# targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
# minimum - Modification of targeted policy. Only selected processes 
are protected.

# mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

This will make sure that you start up without Selinux.

This may partition your problem so that you know where to focus.

I use systemd for everything.
All of my servers are running some version of CentOS 7

From another posting it appears that you can start Asterisk from the 
binary, and from safe_asterisk.  If that’s correct, then are you able 
to start/stop Asterisk from the service file? With CentOS7 that would be:


systemctl start asterisk

Is your asterisk service file present?  (You can create one easily 
based on samples on the internet).  If you have an asterisk service 
file but startup fails post the relevant portion of your syslog 
(journalctl).


If your question has changed (you mentioned ‘the first problem’) then 
ignore the above; jumping in late.

Re: [asterisk-users] Having problem getting Asterisk to work on CentOS 7

[Dan Cropp]

Just a quick update.
Problem seems to have been with the init.d script.

I decided to re-set SElinux to enabled just to verify while using the systemd.  
Even after a restart, asterisk is running with SElinux enabled.

Thanks to everyone on asterisk-users for helping me solve my problem.

[Telium Technical Support]

The history of the question is lost (in the mail thread) so I'll jump in
based on what I could see in my recent mail and the subject line:

-The ASTDB should have no impact on Asterisk service start (which I
assume is the problem given the subject line)

-If you disabled SElinux then that's not the problem in starting
asterisk

 

>From another posting it appears that you can start Asterisk from the binary,
and from safe_asterisk.  If that's correct, then are you able to start/stop
Asterisk from the service file?  With CentOS7 that would be:

 

systemctl start asterisk

 

Is your asterisk service file present?  (You can create one easily based on
samples on the internet).  If you have an asterisk service file but startup
fails post the relevant portion of your syslog (journalctl).

 

If your question has changed (you mentioned 'the first problem') then ignore
the above; jumping in late.

Re: [asterisk-users] Having problem getting Asterisk to work on CentOS 7

[Dan Cropp]

Some background to make sure this is the right track.  SELINUX does seem to be 
the problem on startup.

The audit.log I provided is what is happening prior to executing 'setenforce 0'

Looking at astdb.sqlite3, there is only one table astdb.  It has one record, 
which contains a key and value pair.
Key is /pbx/UUID
Value .

Trying to understand where I should be focusing my efforts for the first 
problem of it not starting after a restart.

Is sqlite3 and the astdb.sqlite3 errors from the audit.log the place I should 
be looking into?
Or is the SELINUX issue the correct place for me to be looking?  Seems to 
startup if I run the 'setenforce 0' (or change SELINUX setting).
Or would it be best for me to be looking into using systemd based on possible 
problems with safe_asterisk?

What are you using for the database - SQLite?
I am using mysql (mariadb).

I am not familiar with SQLlite. Can you access the database from the console - 
look up the list of tables - display the contents from a table? Anything to see 
if your SQLite is working and has asterisk data in it.
>From your Asterisk console,


CLI> core show help database
should give you a list of commands that you can try.



database show  -- Shows database contents

database showkey   -- Shows database contents
would seem to let you know if you have a database that works.
Never had to do this but it seems an easy way to test your database connection.

Do you have webmin installed on your Centos7 box. I find that this is a handy 
web/graphical interface to Centos7.

Many things work well, once properly configured. Looking at the exact error 
(again, audit.log) is the first step.

Once upon a time Asterisk used to be able to run with SELinux:

The problem may be missing a profile for Asterisk.

Or the fact that it interacts too much with other services? I'll have to
give it a shot. At least for a stand-alone Asterisk.

Re: [asterisk-users] Having problem getting Asterisk to work on CentOS 7

[Dan Cropp]

Thanks Tzafrir.

Upon further investigation it is safe_asterisk that was the process id I 
initially saw.  I believe this is what was installed when running make config 
to install the Initialization Scripts in the asterisk 13.14.0 source code
Asterisk did not start up previously on a restart.

I changed SELINUX setting in /etc/selinux/config (default was enforcing and I 
changed it to permissive).  After that, I was seeing the Asterisk PID.  
I didn't realize both safe_asterisk pid and asterisk pid were displaying when I 
executed pgrep asterisk.

Admittedly, I'm new to systemd.  I need to research it to learn what I need to 
do.

pkill? nice? That is not asterisk. Are you sure you got the right process? 
Maybe you got safe_asterisk instead? If it is safe_asterisk:

1. That script is pointless now that you have systemd. Replace it with a simple 
systemd unit (hint: Restart=on-failure gets you most of the way there).

Isn't there one already included with Asterisk by now?

2. Use the option -f of strace to see the exact error message. What is error 
status 34 of asterisk? ERANGE?

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/11/html/Security-Enhanced_Linux/sect-Security-Enhanced_Linux-Working_with_SELinux-Enabling_and_Disabling_SELinux.html

If disabling Selinux solves your problem, then your problem may be 
related to Selinux.

If it does not change yout problem, you may want to look elsewhere.

It seems that a lot of  things do not work with Selinux or 
have no instructions about how to make them work with Selinux that it 
almost seems like a useless feature.

Re: [asterisk-users] Having problem getting Asterisk to work on CentOS 7

[Dan Cropp]

Thank you Jean.

I changed selinux to permissive in the /etc/selinux/config and restarted.  
Asterisk was able to start up.  One oddity though, I now see two different pids 
for asterisk (pgrep asterisk).  Is this to be expected or do I still have 
something wrong?

For my second issue, after stopping firewalld, SIP traffic is now making it 
through to Asterisk.

I need to research both selinux and firewalld some more.  They are both new to 
me.

Have a great day!

Dan

Some background information.

I have used Debian with Asterisk for several years.  Have encountered zero 
problems.
I am now trying to setup an Asterisk on a CentOS7 box using VMWare Workstation. 
 I am brand new to CentOS and RHEL so I may be missing something obvious.

I am installing CentOS Minimal Install and Asterisk from Source.  (I have 
installed Asterisk from Source on Debian hundreds of times without any 
problems).
After installing CentOS (only root user), I update CentOS.  I then install the 
CentOS "Development Tools".
Also install, I install net-tools and wget.

After that, I am following the Wiki pages for Asterisk from Source.
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Installing+Asterisk+From+Source
Retrieve the asterisk-13-current.tar.gz and the pjproject-2.6.tar.bz2

I uncompress them, run the asterisk install_prereq script to install all 
required packages.
I configure PJPROJECT, make dep, make, make install, and ldconfig

After that, I install asterisk
./configure
make menuselect
make
make install
make samples
make progdocs
make config

After that, I modify the asterisk conf files for a couple pjsip endpoints and 
turn on debugging and verbosity.  Copying settings from another box which is 
working.

I am seeing two different issues

First, when I restart the box, the asterisk process is present.  However, it's 
not writing anything to the log files so it seems to be stuck.  Any idea why 
running Asterisk as a service after the make config would not seem to fully 
start up?

Second, I stop the asterisk service.  Make sure asterisk process is not 
present.  Then, I start it up manually going to the console.  Everything is 
running.  I see information written to the asterisk log files.  However, I try 
to connect phones to this and it does not work.  I used tcpdump to verify the 
SIP packets are making it to the CentOS box, however Asterisk is not seeing the 
SIP messages.
I run netstat -apn | grep -i asterisk and see Asterisk udp with port 5060.
The one thing I notice is my Debian installations have always been eth0.  
CentOS is using the newer ens33.  Might this cause a proble?
Any suggestions?

Have a great day!

Dan

I uncompress them, run the asterisk install_prereq script to install 
all required packages.


I configure PJPROJECT, make dep, make, make install, and ldconfig

After that, I install asterisk

./configure

make menuselect

make

make install

make samples

make progdocs

make config

After that, I modify the asterisk conf files for a couple pjsip 
endpoints and turn on debugging and verbosity.  Copying settings from 
another box which is working.


I am seeing two different issues….

First, when I restart the box, the asterisk process is present.  
However, it’s not writing anything to the log files so it seems to be 
stuck.  Any idea why running Asterisk as a service after the make 
config would not seem to fully start up?


Second, I stop the asterisk service.  Make sure asterisk process is 
not present.  Then, I start it up manually going to the console.  
Everything is running.  I see information written to the asterisk log 
files.  However, I try to connect phones to this and it does not 
work.  I used tcpdump to verify the SIP packets are making it to the 
CentOS box, however Asterisk is not seeing the SIP messages.


I run netstat -apn | grep -i asterisk and see Asterisk udp with port 5060.

The one thing I notice is my Debian installations have always been 
eth0.  CentOS is using the newer ens33.  Might this cause a proble?


Any suggestions?

Have a great day!

Dan

You mentioned starting asterisk manually. Do you do that with the proper
permissions (assuming you do run Asterisk as a non-root user, as you
should). Any chance asterisk does not have write permissions to the log
files?

Failing that, try strace.

  strace -p $PID_OF_ASTERISk

Maybe also add -f and / or -o if there's too much output.

[asterisk-users] Having problem getting Asterisk to work on CentOS 7

[Dan Cropp]

Some background information.

I have used Debian with Asterisk for several years.  Have encountered zero 
problems.
I am now trying to setup an Asterisk on a CentOS7 box using VMWare Workstation. 
 I am brand new to CentOS and RHEL so I may be missing something obvious.

I am installing CentOS Minimal Install and Asterisk from Source.  (I have 
installed Asterisk from Source on Debian hundreds of times without any 
problems).
After installing CentOS (only root user), I update CentOS.  I then install the 
CentOS "Development Tools".
Also install, I install net-tools and wget.

After that, I am following the Wiki pages for Asterisk from Source.
