SIP command not found

Question

I have installed asterisk on Ubuntu Natty,

When I go into asterisk CLI & type in sip reload or any SIP related commands, it says SIP command not found.

Anyone had a similar problem before?

Thanks

Answer 1

Check, if the SIP channel module is loaded:

The command module show should have this line in its response:

chan_sip.so Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

If not, check if this module is installed (should be, by default) and check the startup messages in the log files of asterisk.

If you compiled from source, you may be missing the OpenSSL development library.

Try:

sudo apt-get install openssl-dev  (or libssl-dev on Precise)
./configure
make
make install
