System has been running for a few weeks before this problem came up. Doing an "amportal restart" corrected the error.
Anyone have any idea what may be going one so that I can come up with a permanent solution?
CentOS v5.1
Asterisk v1.4.15
Asterisk-addons v1.4.5
FreePBX v 2.3.1.x
Zaptel v1.4.7
Sangoma Wanpipe v3.2.1
Octasic echo can (AMD32) v1.04
Webmin v1.38
All FreePBX modules up to date except I see that the "Core" module had a recent update which I have now applied.
sounds like someone may have
sounds like someone may have changed the permission of sip_additional.conf at some point. Nothing in FreePBX should be able to do that (as it should all be running as user asterisk). When you run amportal restart, it executes a "chown asterisk:asterisk *" to several key directories and /etc/asterisk is one of them. That is why it got fixed.

Thanks for the reply
Thanks for the reply p_lindheimer,
Looking at the dashboard this morning I am also getting this error. I also saw this yesterday before I restarted amportal. Apply changes still works though.

anyone?
anyone?
it usually means that you
it usually means that you have a 'real' copy of extensions.conf in /etc/asterisk in which case it will not get sym-linked in case you did that on purpose (even though you shouldn't) just mv/delete /etc/asterisk and let the symlink happen.

Yes, after I posted that it
Yes, after I posted that it occurred to me that a donation would be appropriate. Thanks for the reminder.
Thanks - fixed the problem for me
p_lindheimer, thanks for the note about just removing the extensions.conf file (make a backup first of course just in case) and letting it recreate the symlink automatically by running retrieve_conf in /var/lib/asterisk/bin/. It worked like a charm.
