Michael Newton commented on ASTERISK-26025:
-------------------------------------------

Sorry for dropping this, I meant to debug and never got to it. We're still using 11 in production so this has not been high priority.

User was created with {{adduser -d /var/lib/asterisk -M -r -s /sbin/nologin asterisk}}

Asterisk was started with {{service asterisk start}} (using the RHEL init script provided with source) which looks like it should run {{daemon /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk -U asterisk -G asterisk }}

{{/var/run/asterisk}} is 755, owned by asterisk:asterisk

{{mksock}} is not available on this system, can't find a package that provides it either.

> Our provisioning process includes a Kickstart post script that compiles, installs, and starts Asterisk before installing FreePBX. This works very well under Asterisk 11 but fails under Asterisk 13. The FreePBX installer attempts to run {{asterisk -rx 'core show version'}} before installation, and complains that it cannot.
> Investigating this failure, I found that Asterisk starts up, but does not create {{/var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl}} so no remote connections can be created. I've verified that {{/var/run/asterisk/asterisk.pid}} is created, and the output from {{ps}} shows that Asterisk continues running. Setting the Asterisk logging level to debug shows no errors occurring at startup.
> Once the server is rebooted, and no longer in Kickstart, the control file is created without issue.
