My asterisk crash every 2 or 3 hours only when I use a2billing AGI to send calls to a Gateway (using OOH323 or simple SIP calls), doing some debug I found too many errors in /var/log/messages log file:

Oct 15 17:29:31 trixbox1 php: /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/libs_a2billing/Class.A2Billing.php[230]: date(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/New_York' for 'EDT/-4.0/DST' instead

and also this message:
Oct 16 12:24:49 trixbox1 php: /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/libs_a2billing/Class.RateEngine.php[721]: Undefined variable: agi

The first error dissaper adding this line to Class.A2Billing.php and Class.RateEngine.php (thanks svetur):

date_default_timezone_set("America/Denver");

Well I think we have better performance but now I dont know what to do whit the second log message "Undefined variable: agi"

My system:
2 Processors Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz
CPU Speed 2.99 GHz, Cache Size 2048 KB, 1G Ram
Centos 5 , Kernel Version 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 (SMP) (from trixbox 2.3)
PHP 5.1.6
DB: Mysql 5.0.22 (in a separated box)
Asterisk 1.2.24 (works well with DeadAGI)

please I really need some advice.
thanks
rafael

Who said here is ASTERISK SUPPORT FORUM??

Thanks anest

My problem is not asterisk, actually my asterisk (1.2.24 and 1.4.x) its very stable and works perfect if I do not use a2billing AGI, so my cuestion is related to a2billing performance, see the "segmentation fault" in my last log:

My configuration in extension.conf :

;; This config crash and reset asterisk randomly
exten => _51.,1,DeadAGI(a2billing.php|3)
exten => _51.,2,Hangup

;; This works OK
;exten => _51.,1,Dial(OOH323/${EXTEN}@192.168.12.248:1720)
;exten => _51.,2,Hangup


debug in /var/log/messages find this error:
Oct 17 09:52:50 trixbox1 php: /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/libs_a2billing/Class.RateEngine.php[301]: Undefined variable: agi

any idea?
thanks

Hi

I changed "switchdialcommand" parameter to "YES" in a2billing.conf to define the order to make the outbound call and my problem has gone, my asterisk is running for two days without any problem, well I am not sure but... hope it helps,
