Anyone know what this means? ERROR[17585] chan_woomera.c: cannot connect to {default} localhost/42420

Yea, I tried that -- and also restarted the whole server and it didnt help.

that module isnt used by the TrixBox right? I have no addin cards.. its all SIP trunks.

Ok, I gave this a try, but it did not seem to help.

asterisk -r -x unload chan_woomera.so

Still shows that notice in the log

If you let it run for a long time, you see this error message in the /var/log/asterisk/messages file

Apr 21 16:23:10 VERBOSE[3311] logger.c: **[WOOMERA]** Receive Message: {default} [localhost/42420]

Restarting asterisk put is back to the original message I posted in post 1.

Any other ideas? our system seems to be running fine, I just dont like errors flooding my logs -- so it makes it harder to debug other problems.

Tried this.. and it still doesnt work.

At the bottom of the config:

[global]
chan_modem.so=yes
noload => chan_woomera.so

Still throw this 5 second retry over and over.

Hi,
I know it been a while from last reply in this thread but I got the same problem with system currently running.
My /var/log/asterisk/full is getting full of

Our system has Trixbox 2.6.2.3 ISO installed and using SIP service for inbound calls and PRI ISDN30 with AFT A101 Single port E1 Card without echo cancellation.
This system is running already for 2 months and didnt have this problem until last 2 weeks. We didnt change anything on it from the initial setup and it just started to happen.
As its mentioned here the workaround would be to disable the woomera channel but as we are using Sangoma T1 card I'm not sure if I can disable it without breaking up the outbound calls. Before we had it setup with inbound and outbound going through A101 card but when the first 5 second reconnection started to happen we changed over at least Inbound to SIP (before was our fail over destination).
I guess that woomera is used only by BRI card (examle A500) but would be nice to know why its actually happening and why it started after couple of weeks. Also if its the problem with disabling the woomera channel do I have to disable it with every future installation of Trixbox ISO which will be using Sangoma E1 card and not BRI? I just want to avoid making the same mistake in future installations.

noload => chan_woomera.so

That command goes under the modules section and not global.
