asterisk users - Feb 2009 - Asterisk 1.6.0.5 as non root and moh perm issue

I am running Asterisk as non root and have set the required permissions for all
directories including the moh dir specified in musiconhold.conf yet asterisk
still complains it doesn't have access when starting? I get:

WARNING[3600]: res_musiconhold.c:987 moh_scan_files: chdir() failed: Permission
denied

I ran asterisk with strace, and don't see it failing to access anything?

Anyone know why?

Thanks!

Have you tried this?

'su - asterisk
'cd /var/lib/asterisk/moh

When this works, so will *.

The specific error is that it cannot chdir to the music on hold
directory. Are you sure you have the right directory?

what do you get when you do:
CLI> moh show files
and
CLI> moh show classes

The specific error is that it cannot chdir to the music on hold
directory. Who owns the parent directory?
