[asterisk-users] Problem with transfer (and asterisk -r)

[Mike]

Hi,
 
I used to have "##" configured in asterisk 1.2 for blindxfer.  Now, when I
press ## I hear it on the other end instead of initiating a transfer.  What
has change and how can I go back to the old behavior?  I kept the same
feature.conf file with these lines:
[featuremap]
blindxfer => ##                 ; Blind transfer
 
Also, for the first time ever, I have a problem connectiong to the remote
console.  It says this when I try:
Asterisk 1.4.19, Copyright (C) 1999 - 2008 Digium, Inc. and others.

=========================================================================
Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk.ctl exist?)
 
 
Asterisk is certainly running well (as far as I can tell) but that's a bit
of an issue for troubleshooting, as you can imagine. I do have an
asterisk.ctl:
srwxr-xr-x  1 root  root      0 Apr 17 23:28 asterisk.ctl
 
Regards,
 
Mick
