easy fix - https://dialer.one/index.php/how-to-fix ... ternal_ip/

Is Use of this is limited to a flaw in the system that tries to look up an IP rather than a domain, and the IP in question happens to be the external IP?

Would it make more sense to convert this to "localhost" or 127.0.0.1 if the IP is that of the server in question?

Also (if you want traffic on this post) you should consider using the text of the actual error. "resolve_first: Unable to lookup ..." and "Name or service not known".

This error also occurs when the FQDN supplied by a carrier or co-company is deleted, thus making it impossible to look up. And then the best resolution is to delete that hostname entry from the carrier (and/or deactive/delete the carrier, of course).

its in relation to pjsip which no one is really using yet anyways, its to set the servers IP like external ip feature in sip.conf

does the actual error contain EXTERNAL_SERVER_IP or is it an IP address?

it contains the actual words

You may want to edit your original post to contain the string it will contain. For Google Search purposes. Much more useful if people find it. I'm opposed to the "help" being off this forum, but if it's helpful then it's better to have it findable on this system even if you bounce to your site for the final fix.

sudo sed -i 's/SERVER_EXTERNAL_IP/0.0.0.0/' /etc/asterisk/pjsip.conf

sorry: I meant the error string(s). verbatim. That's what end users will see and search for.
