Comments:	By: Rusty Newton (rnewton) 2014-04-07 14:26:19.351-0500 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Asterisk better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description did not include enough information. You may find it helpful to read the Asterisk Issue Guidelines http://www.asterisk.org/developers/bug-guidelines. We would be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. At a minimum, we need: 1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem, 2. the behavior you expected, and 3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible). This likely includes output from the console with debug level logging, a SIP trace (if this is SIP related), and configuration information such as dialplan (e.g. extensions.conf) and channel configuration (e.g. sip.conf). Thanks!

Also, please show the full output of {{asterisk -rx "module show"}} By: Dorian Logan (dorianlogan) 2014-04-08 08:51:57.608-0500 will do By: Dorian Logan (dorianlogan) 2014-04-08 14:17:26.953-0500 More details added By: Rusty Newton (rnewton) 2014-04-09 19:38:06.279-0500 Deleted that last debug since it wasn't attached to the issue as a file and didn't include the requested debug messages activated in the default full logging file. However, turns out it is not needed as the issue is very reproducible. Another example is res_parking.conf {noformat} newtonr-laptop*CLI> config reload /etc/asterisk/res_parking.conf No such module 'core' {noformat} {noformat} newtonr-laptop*CLI> module reload res_parking.so Module 'res_parking.so' reloaded successfully.    -- Reloading module 'res_parking.so' (Call Parking Resource) {noformat} I see that it occurs when trying "config reload" on many conf files for independent modules that are apparently referenced in the core. This may be expected behavior and a limitation of the command, if so , then it needs to be documented. I'm opening this up since we at least need to modify documentation if it turns out this is expected behavior, and of course the workaround is to just reload the modules directly. Documentation only says {noformat} Usage: config reload <filename.conf>   Reloads all modules that reference <filename.conf> {noformat} By: Dorian Logan (dorianlogan) 2014-04-10 03:11:24.681-0500 Okay so in line with your example Attempting to reload config confbridge.conf fails - this could be defined as expected behaviour and docs updated - or code could be fixed to remove core dependancy if possible. ubuntu*CLI> config reload /etc/asterisk/confbridge.conf No such module 'core' A work round to allow the config to be refreshed without restarting asterisk is to explicitly reload the module ubuntu*CLI> module reload app_confbridge    -- Reloading module 'app_confbridge.so' (Conference Bridge Application) ubuntu*CLI> reload This should still work as it triggers a reload of modules not a config reload.
