asterisk users - Jun 2010 - asterisk appache issue

Hi Everyone,

I installed Asterisk-1.6 by user root and its working fine.

but when i tried to run any asterisk command through apache user it shows 

Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl exist?

i think its a permission error.

how can i give the root permission to apache ?
?please help !!!!!!

sudo.

However, without careful configuration you will probably be giving root 
access to any process that runs as your apache user.

I've never done it, but I'm guessing you could create a group, make your
asterisk user and your apache user members of that group and protect 
resources appropriately.

What are you trying to accomplish that you can't using AMI, querying a 
database, creating a call file or parsing a log file?
