Nube Question: Where Is Chan_sip.so?

I am having real trouble getting started. A definitive “hello world” is certainly missing from the official site and the ones out there are dated or broken.

I am beginning to think something went wrong with the install. It was a fresh install of an Ubuntu server, and a fresh install of 13.7.0 – Should be Okay no?

A question. Am I expecting to find chan_sip.so in
/usr/lib/asterisk/modules/ ?

If so, it is not there – no idea how I would have lost it. We do have a new cat – perhaps she ate it.

If I ought not expect to find it there, why does
[modules]
require =chan_sip.so and/or require = res_pjsip.so cause asterisk to fail to start? The documentation makes no mention of an alternate method of loading modules.

best wishes,

P

  • Hello, My name is Daniel. Very strange. Chan_Sip.so should be there. Maybe the cat didn’t have enough cat food? *smile*
    I am a System Administrator, and have done plenty of Asterisk install’s, so am use to errors and such. If you’d like, I can remote SSH in to troubleshoot your install. I charge $25USD for this, but will wave said fea since you’re new to Asterisk. If you’d like help, please email off-list to webmaster@firestar-hosting.com

  • Don’t know about asterisk 13, but in asterisk 11 you have to install asterisk-modules. This should be done automatically.

    Do you have asterisk-modules or equivalent installed?

    What does “dpkg -L asterisk-modules | grep chan” say about chan_sip.so?
    (if this is the correct package name, of course)

  • Was this compiled from source?

    If a package install, you may be at the mercy of the package creator

    In version 11, sip is installed by default, unless a noload statement is active in modules.conf

    All of this may have changed with the transition to pjsip though.

    had installed asterisk from source and been able to run it, but had not installed “asterisk-modules”

    I now have chan_alsa.so and a chan_sip.so (no res_pjsip.???) where I would expect them to be.

  • If it helps, here’s a quick n easy guide I made to installing from scratch with pjsip on Ubuntu. https://github.com/lardconcepts/asterisk-digitalocean-voipfone-config/blob/master/Asterisk-13-on-Ubuntu.md

    There are some other scripts like firewall, wizard etc, but there are aimed at Voipfone users so will need tweaking for your own ITSP or situation. https://github.com/lardconcepts/asterisk-digitalocean-voipfone-config

    If anyone spots anything bad in there, let me know!
