asterisk users - Dec 2008 - how to get /var/run/asteris/asterisk.ctl

Hello there everyone,

Well I have set up Asteriks 6.0 and almost have Freepbx working too.
However, freepbx is showing me that /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl is
not found.  I confirmed that by going to the directory.  How do I
get /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl put in correctly?  I am using a
Ubuntu 8.10 system.  Thanks much.

When you start asterisk, it creates the control socket.  Have a look at 
/etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf to see if your install has put it somplace 
other than the stated default location.  If you think asterisk is 
started and the control socket isn't there, look at 
/var/log/asterisk/full to see why it didn't start

start it from /etc/init.d/asterisk start
the script will create it...
it only exist if asterisk is runing
try to connect to asterisk  doing asterisk -r
maybe you will need to be root.
if you cant connect if you normaly run asterisk as root run "asterisk
-c"
and it will show you why is not running.
if you run asterisk as other user you MUST run asterisk whit that user or
you will F**CK the instalation. su root password and then su
<asterisk_user>
and then asterisk -c
