Not from Asterisk CLI - run it from a shell.
taking this a simpler way, as this has happened to me…
did you forget to hit “Apply Config” after deleting the extension in the GUI?
Yes I did sadly, was too much in a hurry
so are you Good now?
or are you still hosed?
we can likely help you find it via the SQL CLI if necessary
So should I run the commands given to me by adell4444 and see what happens? Or is it simpler through the SQL CLI?
that is the mysql CLI.
from command line (nothing to do with asterisk -r, or fwconsole, just the command line)
mysql -u root -D asterisk -e "select * from users where extension like '6144';"
mysql -u root -D asterisk -e "select * from devices where id like '6144';"
Tried that at the command prompt on the server under root and it comes back with Extension Number already in use by error
So how did you fix yours when you did that?
Well did the requested and still no luck. The extension still says it is in use and the only place you can find it is in Reports - Peers with the extension and nothing with it.
Sorry @IdahoTech , the “SELECT” is returning “Extension in use”?
or after running the select, you are trying to re-add?
the commands sent are merely to Check, not to Delete.
After I run the commands at the prompt on the server. I then go into the GUI and to Extensions and re-add the extension and that is where I get the Extension in use. I have attached a photo…
When I run the commands it just goes back to the command prompt after each entry. And when I look in Reports - Asterisk Info - Peers it shows it there but nothing else with it. Not even the name…I cannot find this user or the extension anywhere else but here…
As @sholinaty intimated,
mysql -u root -D asterisk -e "delete from users where extension like '6144'"
mysql -u root -D asterisk -e "delete from devices where id like '6144'"
Well I tried that dicko and no luck still get the same error. Anything else I should run after those two lines? I had the ; in the line where your lines did not, should I have taken that out?
mysql -u root -D asterisk -e “delete from users where extension like ‘6144’;”
mysql -u root -D asterisk -e “delete from devices where id like ‘6144’;”
No. the terminating semicolon is unnecessary but harmless, did you fwconsole restart
after having mysql delete the bogosity ?
No I did not. Just do that at the command prompt on the server, correct? It will not reboot the server will it. Do not want to take the phones down in the district.
Shouldn’t be a problem but fwconsole reload
would be less traumatic, current calls would not be dropped, but accomplish the same result.
That was it!! The fwconsole reload was it. Thanks to all for your help…I got up and did a dance in my office…the best I can do is say Thank you to everyone!
the happy dance is a legitimate tech-suppory/troubleshooting step.
never forget the happy dance.
