When you start asterisk, it creates the control socket.  Have a look at 
/etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf to see if your install has put it somplace 
other than the stated default location.  If you think asterisk is 
started and the control socket isn't there, look at 
/var/log/asterisk/full to see why it didn't start
