similar to: Running asterisk as non root user

I was previous using Asterisk 1.2.9.1 and decided to get some real servers outside of my house. It was time for Asterisk 1.4.4. I figured since all the conf files were in /etc/asterisk form the old box, i'd just copy tha directory over to the new server. My SIP DID AGI stuff worked, except running 'asterisk -r' doesn't. It tells me ' Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does

change asterisk.conf: mkdir /var/run/asterisk chown it to your asterisk user. change astrundir => /var/run to astrundir => /var/run/asterisk My guess would be that you are running asterisk as a non-root user and that this user can not write to /var/run . if so, the ctl and PID files are not created. -- -- Steven http://www.glimasoutheast.org "Tom Castleman"

I've configured asterisk 1.4 to use imap storage for voice-mail and while I'm happy with it generally speaking it really seem to hammer the IMAP server. It appear, from the IMAP server logs that it's polling the imap server every *second* for mailbox updates for the users' voice-mail folders. Is it really necessary to do this once a second? Is this tunable anywhere? Thanx, b.

Hello, I am trying to get a repeatable build setup for asterisk. Part of doing so involves using the -C option to specify the master config file. The problem is that asterisk reads the config file location that i specify, however it still tries to read two other config files, namely: * /etc/asterisk/extconfig.conf, and * /etc/asterisk/logger.conf I have specified in my config file that the

Hi, I have set up asterisk to run as non root, and allow admin users to log in to the server as asterisk, which gives them privileges to edit configs in the asterisk home directory.
