<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had a problem on one box where <FONT

<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It looks as though Trixbox does run as non-root. The ctl is
actually /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Did you install from scratch, or was a previous version of Asterisk on
the box?<BR><BR> </DIV>
