> Installed asterisk 1.8.19.1, worked fine. Installed 1.8.20.0, and started seeing the following issues, with the same config files for both:
> When I start the asterisk service using "service asterisk start" from the command line, this is the output:
> {noformat}
> [root at pbx ~]# service asterisk start
> Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl exist?)
> Starting asterisk:
> {noformat}
> However, the /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl file is being created and the process is starting:
> {noformat}
> [root at pbx ~]# ls -lh /var/run/asterisk/
> total 4.0K
> srwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 16 12:07 asterisk.ctl
> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Jan 16 12:07 asterisk.pid
> {noformat}
> However, I'm no longer getting the usual splash message when I connect to the asterisk console...this is what I get:
> {noformat}
> [root at pbx ~]# asterisk -r
> Verbosity is at least 3
> pbx*CLI>
> {noformat}
> I don't have any peers setup yet, or even any dialplan configured to test, but when I go through the logs, I don't find any errors or warnings that I'm not expecting.
> I've gone back to the asterisk 1.8.19.1 install and everything works as expected (no error messages, full splash about license / version on connection to console, etc).  I performed make clean in my 1.8.20 source directory, then ./configure, make menuselect, make, make install, and even make config, and I'm still seeing this message pop up when restarting / starting the service. 
> I went through the CHANGELOG.TXT for 1.8.20.0 and it appears there are some items talking about changing the way the process starts up (commit r376428), but I'm not enough of a coder to understand if those would cause what I'm seeing.
