Summary:                    Asterisk is looking in the wrong location for the
asterisk.pid (and probably asterisk.ctl) file.
Description: 
Asterisk is not looking in the config file for where to locate the
asterisk.pid file.  Using strings, it is readily apparent that the location
is also hard-coded in the asterisk binary.

I believe I am having the same problem.  Using Freepbx when I issue a
"amportal stop" I get:

STOPPING ASTERISK
Asterisk ended with exit status 0
Asterisk shutdown normally.
Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl
exist?)
Asterisk Stopped

"amportal start" seems to work normally

This is a fresh install and I tried re-installing a few times now.
