Fix missing Asterisk library error (libasteriskssl.so.1 & libasteriskpj.so.2 not found)


Here we will discuss how to solve a problem with the libasteriskssl and libasteriskpj libraries that may appear during installation on Debian or other systems.


1) Symptoms of the problem

        After compiling Asterisk using the ./configure command with the --libdir=/usr/lib64 parameter, we will encounter problems with starting the Asterisk system at the end of the installation. The system will not be able to find the necessary libraries. This may result in a message similar to the following: error while loading shared libraries: libasteriskssl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ldd /usr/sbin/asterisk
You can see that the operating system cannot find two libraries; libasteriskssl and libasteriskpj. Errors appear: libasteriskssl.so.1 => not found libasteriskpj.so.2 => not found

2) Solution to the problem


        As you can see, the system is trying to find the libraries in the /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu directory. We need to look for where they are actually located.
find / -name 'libasteriskssl.so.1'
As we could guess, the compiler copied them from the source to the place we indicated, i.e. /usr/lib64 We now need to put them in the right place, i.e. in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu We will use the ln command to create appropriate symbolic links to these necessary libraries.
ln -s /usr/lib64/libasteriskssl.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
ln -s /usr/lib64/libasteriskpj.so.2 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
Now we can run Asterisk without any problems and check its status.
systemctl start asterisk
systemctl status asterisk
After switching to the asterisk console, we can monitor the operation of the system.
/usr/sbin/asterisk -rvvv
Problem solved!

How to Format and Mount a New 1TB HDD

🖥 How to Format and Mount a New 1TB HDD to /var/www/recordings on Linux If you’ve added a new HDD to your Linux server and want to use it as a dedicated storage location — for example, to store Asterisk or web server recordings — you’ll need to partition, format, mount, and configure it to auto-mount at boot . In this guide, we’ll walk through the process of wiping the drive (careful — data will be lost!), creating a single ext4 partition , and mounting it permanently. Step 1: Identify Your New Disk Run: lsblk Example output: NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS sda 8 : 0 0 931.5 G 0 disk ├─sda1 8 : 1 0 50 M 0 part ├─sda2 8 : 2 0 540.8 G 0 part └─sda3 8 : 3 0 390.6 G 0 part In our case, /dev/sda is the new 1TB disk. ⚠ Warning: Double-check you’ve picked the right disk! Formatting the wrong one will destroy data. Step 2: Unmount Any Mounted Partitions sudo umount /dev/sda* 2>/dev/null Step 3: Wipe Old Partitions and Create One ...
