Bug#379285: Incorrect location for asterisk.pid and asterisk.ctl
Package: asterisk Version: 1:1.2.7.1.dfsg-3 Severity: normal In the default configuration asterisk runs as an unprivileged user, but the binary tries to create and use /var/run/asterisk.pid and /var/run/asterisk.ctl and fails (without the .ctl the -r function will not work). There is a /var/run/asterisk directory presumably setup for this purpose but it's not trying to use it. The only fix currently is to run asterisk as root, which is not ideal.

Ahh... never heard of that setting before. changing that worked.. thanks. /etc/init.d/asterisk still has: PIDFILE=/var/run/asterisk/asterisk.pid which needs changing manually (and perhaps should be in the default build) but it does seem to work as it is. I guess you can close this bug. Thanks for the help. Tony -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I believe you got thing wrong: The PID should not be in /var/run/asterisk.pid (if you want to be able to run asterisk as non-root). -- Tzafrir Cohen sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] icq#16849755 iax:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +972-50-7952406 jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xorcom.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

That's what I'm saying - the default /etc/init.d/asterisk has that path hardcoded in it, so that script needs changing.
