@jfinstrom it’s the content of the file which is causing problems, not its visibility to the application…
parse_ini_file is unable the handle the “(home-callcentric);” entries present in that file.
Parenthesis have a special meaning to parse_ini_file, see PHP: parse_ini_file - Manual, more specifically this:
Characters ?{}|&~!()^" must not be used anywhere in the key and have a special meaning in the value.
The file has been accessed and parsed when the application crashes, it’s what parse_ini_file returns the code that follows can’t handle…
Other people are putting that callcentric configuration in /etc/asterisk/sip_custom_post.conf which is not parsed by FreePBX so that’s what the OP should try next…
(actually from what I understood this is the file to use for stuff like this…)
Have a nice day!
