asterisk users - Dec 2008 - problem with Asterisk on Ubuntu

Hello there,

I am trying to get Asterisk set up by using the book Asterisk: The
Future of Telephony.  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."

Try first just "asterisk" and after "asterisk -r"
If still doesn't start try "asterisk -vvvvc" to verbose...

Best regards,

Chris Hariga

Simply re-posting a question does not help.

Did you already try any of the suggestions?
