[asterisk-users] Re: "does /var/run/asterisk.ctl exist?" -- butAsterisk *is* running.

[Steven]

I had a problem on one box where /var/run/asterisk/ did exist and had the correct non-root permissions.
There was a typo in /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf.

was: astrundir => /var/run
changed to: astrundir => /var/run/asterisk

I do not remember which version of asterisk this was or if it was broken when adding freepbx. (or maybe when I tested a at h)

I hope this helps.

  Be sure that it is looking in the right place.  If it is running as non root, then the ctl file would be in a different directory.

  It looks as though Trixbox does run as non-root.  The ctl is actually /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl.

  Did you install from scratch, or was a previous version of Asterisk on the box?
