Some Core Asterisk Modules Just Kinda Disappeared

[tpglitch (Tyler Kinney)]

So I ran asterisk-version-switch a few times to switch between 22, 20 and 18 for an experiment

But now on startup im getting:

The kicker? FPBX works 100% fine. But i prefer to fix these.

The chan_local module hasn’t existed for numerous years at this point. The chan_dahdi module didn’t load because libpri seems to be missing. The pbx_lua module didn’t load because the LUA library seems to be missing.

The rest, to the best of my knowledge, aren’t really used by FreePBX. You’d only notice something if you were using DAHDI based hardware.

[tpglitch (Tyler Kinney)]

Interesting. What is causing asterisk to want to load these? Is this default behavior or related to the numerous upgrades/downgrades I’ve performed.

And how can I add back in the missing modules

[jcolp (Joshua Colp)]

It’s either been told to load the module (in the case of chan_local) or the modules do exist in the Asterisk modules directory, which would cause it to try to automatically load them. I can’t help on the FreePBX side, I can only clarify Asterisk behavior/messages.
