Is asterisk running?

If it is not running (i.e, configuration file missing somewhere) then you 
need to correct that.

Check the permissions on the file /var/run/asterisk.ctl.

If you are running asterisk -r as a non-root user, then you need to make 
sure that user has permission (group etc.) to read/write this fiel.
