Hello there,<BR>
<BR>
I am reading Asterisk: The Future of Telephony Chapter four. I am using a Ubuntu box with Asterisk precompiled at this time so I can learn. I am finding that I am having a problem when I do "asterisk -r" from the command line. It says:<BR>
Unable to connect remotely (are you sure that /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl is available.) The answer to this question is yes. I also see through my logs that there are over a hundred modules loading and I just want the timing interface at this time. I do not have hardware to use but I set up Asterisk as the boo recommends in Chapter four. Can anyone help me in the proper direction.<BR>
<BR>
1. I don't need all one hundred modules I just want the timing interface.<BR>
<BR>
2. I don't see why "asterisk -r" is not working.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for your help and included is my messages file.<BR>
