The AGI file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the AGI files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the AGI file on each system platform.
What is AGI file?
The file in the AGI format belongs to the Developer Files category. It was designed by Digium. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. Asterisk Gateway Interface Format is most often found on 3 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Mac OS, Windows. The Asterisk application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Digium, Inc.. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs.
How to open AGI file?
The most common problem when using Asterisk Gateway Interface Format is that a specific AGI is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that AGI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AGI file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Asterisk
The first step is to check if the computer has the Asterisk program installed. To do this, enter the name Asterisk into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file AGI with Asterisk. Below is a list of programs that support the file AGI.
Programs to open AGI file
Remember to download programs supporting AGI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Asterisk with AGI files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AGI file still does not use the Asterisk program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AGI file with the Asterisk application.
Step 3. Update Asterisk to the latest version
If, however, after binding Asterisk with Asterisk Gateway Interface Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Digium, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AGI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The AGI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AGI file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AGI file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AGI files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of AGI file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AGI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Digium help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AGI files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move AGI to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AGI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AGI file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
