[asterisk-users] Asterisk Problem

[Antoine Megalla]

Hi,

I had this problem once before.
It was related to running asterisk as a non root user.

I think if you run asterisk as root your problems will
go away.
OR
you can change the permissions on the /var/run
directory to 777 and the 
problem might be solved too.

Regards,

Antoine Megalla.
