– you probably installed the init script (look in
/etc/init.d for an ‘asterisk’ file). Asterisk includes the
older init style scripts which are *compatible* with systemd
but you don’t have as much control compared to creating an
Asterisk systemd file. (SystemD service files replace InitD
scripts). So that might be part of the solution, but first…<o:p></o:p></span></p>

disabling Selinux allows Asterisk to run as you expect then
you can create an selinux policy exception for Asterisk –
BUT, ignore that for now. Just keep SElinux disabled (edit
/etc/sysconfig/selinux and set to disabled) and come back to
that later.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
