After using "apt install asterisk" on Ubuntu 18.04.2, I noticed when running "service asterisk status" that there was a problem with the radius radcli configuration. It looked like this:

radcli: rc_read_config: rc_read_config: can't open /etc/radiusclient-ng/radiusclient.conf: No such file or directory

The full stack trace looks like this:

I traced the issue to a couple lines in cdr.conf and cel.conf.

I fixed it by running the following 3 lines at the bash prompt:

sed -i 's";\[radius\]"\[radius\]"g' /etc/asterisk/cdr.conf
sed -i 's";radiuscfg => /usr/local/etc/radiusclient-ng/radiusclient.conf"radiuscfg => /etc/radcli/radiusclient.conf"g' /etc/asterisk/cdr.conf
sed -i 's";radiuscfg => /usr/local/etc/radiusclient-ng/radiusclient.conf"radiuscfg => /etc/radcli/radiusclient.conf"g' /etc/asterisk/cel.conf

Then I did a "service asterisk status"

Note, this also resolved the issue with the error highlighted in blue above. I'm less worried about the OSS error and other warnings, so ignoring them for now. Hope this helps someone.

[Edit to add] Well this page rapidly became the top Google search item for some of these errors.

This was unexpected, so to be helpful I researched the OSS error. It's a simple fix. Go to /etc/asterisk/modules.conf and uncomment the following line by removing the semicolon. Save the file, then restart/reload asterisk. I won't be using OSS so that's what I did. See below:

;noload => chan_oss.so

The remaining items are notices and warnings so I'm truly not worried about em.
