I installed VMware and then Ubuntu. I am running asterisk on top of it.

I started the asterisk server successfully by following a tutorial. After making few changes into the sip.conf, I want to reload the the process so it pick up the changes. So I ran 

sip reload

and nothing happens.

Neither the commands to restart the asterisk server work actually the commands do not exists. Can some please throw light or point to right direction?

  • Try starting CLI with 'asterisk -vvvvvr' for debugging messages. Also, stupid question, are you starting it with sudo? Never used ubuntu with asterisk.

Command to restart asterisk is

asterisk -rx "core restart now"

IF that not work, probably your asterisk core is hangs.
