asterisk users - Aug 2013 - Installing asterisk and dahdi on ubuntu

Hello;

I am installing asterisk and dahdi on ubuntu "and I used my username
bghayad to login for ubuntu and do the installation, actually I feel my problem
is related to the?username and permission but I am not able how to fix it",
I am facing now mainly the following two problems:

The first one, asterisk is not starting automatically although I did sudo make
config (for asterisk and dahdi) and the asterisk and dahdi scripts have been
created under /etc/init.d/

The second problem, I started asterisk using asterisk -cvvv and from the CLI, I
tried dahdi show version and?dahdi show status, I am getting the following
results:

*CLI> dahdi show status
No DAHDI found. Unable to open /dev/dahdi/ctl: Permission denied
Command 'dahdi show status ' failed.

*CLI> dahdi show version
Failed to open control file to get version.


Below is my ubuntu information:

bghayad at Bilal:/usr/sbin$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: ? ?Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
Release: ? ? ? ?12.04
Codename: ? ? ? precise

Regards
Bilal

Just because the initscripts exist in .etc/init.d, does not mean that they are 
symbolically linked from /etc/rc[0-6].d.  I think Ubuntu uses
"update-rc.d" to
do this, but you will have to refer to your documentation.

To deal with the permissions thing, try
$ sudo su -
which will give you a normal root prompt.

Answers come *after* questions.

Permissions: take a look at "/etc/udev/rules.d/dahdi.rules". Last
line.
OWNER and GROUP should be the same as the user running the asterisk 
process (root or asterisk?).
