Summary:                    [patch] Unable to open pid file
'/var/run/asterisk/asterisk.pid': No such file or directory
Description: 
Debian/Ubuntu: A default build from source (without tweaking
/etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf) gives an error on boot:

"Unable to open pid file '/var/run/asterisk/asterisk.pid': No such file or
directory"

Attempting to log in with asterisk -cvv or asterisk -rvv throws:
"Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl
exist?)"

Manually creating /var/run/asterisk and restarting the application clears
the issue, but /var/run/asterisk disappears on reboot.

    Some platforms clear /var/run at boot, which makes connecting a remote
console... difficult.
    
    Previously, we only created the default /var/run/asterisk directory at
install
    time.  While we could create it in the init script, that would not
work for
    those who start asterisk manually from the command line.  So the
safest thing
    to do is to create it as part of the Asterisk boot process.  This also
changes
    the ownership of the directory, because the pid and ctl files are
created after
    we setuid/setgid.
