I am on Chapter 4. I have have set up Zaptel and zapata.conf and also set up extensions.conf and when I run "asterisk -r" at the Gnome-terminal to connect with Asterisk I get the following message: Unable to connect with remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl exist?) It sure does exist. I also see I am running like a hundred different modules according to "/var/log/asterisk/messages." _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone with SprintSpeed _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
