[asterisk-users] DAHDI loading issue on Asterisk

[steve at vanwambeck.net]

Hello all,
At this point I am at a complete loss as to how to fix my problem. I
have gone back and rebuilt the whole system from the ground up but am
getting the same results. When I start asterisk with the -f option I do
see what the problem appears to be.

Unable to load config skinny.conf, Skinny disabled.
Unable to open '/dev/dahdi/channel': Permission denied
Unable to open channel 1: Permission denied
here = 0, tmp->channel = 1, channel = 1
Unable to register channel '1-23'

This is because the file permissions are not set correctly on the
/dev/dahdi/channel:

crw-rw----  1 root root 196, 254 Apr 17 15:07 channel

Can anyone provide me with a concise step by step guide, or point me to
one, on building Asterisk 11, DADHI and all? I have pieced together
different components of the process but they seem to be in error. Other
than this one problem the Asterisk system works like a champ. I really
need to get my wtce43x card working and ISDN PRI setup on this platform.

Thanks for your assistance.
Steve
