I just went through an install via the instructions found here on a fresh CentOS 6.5 box.
voip-info.org/wiki/view/Aste … n+CentOS+6
I skipped DAHDI and libPRI as this is a SIP only IVR server.
No errors in the asterisk install, but when i go to start the server it does not recognize it as a service:
# service asterisk start
asterisk: unrecognized service
there is not an /etc/init.d/asterisk file
FYI I did the same thing last month with 11.7.0 and did not run into this issue, everything just worked.
Is there a different install instruction? What additional info can i provide/look at to figure out whats going on? where can i find the tarball for 11.7.0?
thanks!

I followed that guide exactly, The only difference is that I did a yum install of my specific kernel version, which I had to do to get dahdi working. I think this is because I am on a digitalOcean virtual machine (but I am not sure).
Again no errors, everything installs great but the asterisk service and /etc/init.d/asterisk are not created
[root@ivr2 asterisk-11.8.1]# uname -r
2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x86_64
[root@ivr2 asterisk-11.8.1]# yum install kernel-devel

Setting up Install Process
Package kernel-devel-2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
[root@ivr2 asterisk-11.8.1]# yum install kernel-devel-2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x86_64
You might contact the digitalOcean tech support department, maybe they could be blocking the service on their digitalOcean virtual machines.
i got around it by using yum
fyi this is for a 64 bit system
yum update -y
reboot now
yum install dnsmasq
rpm -Uvh http://packages.asterisk.org/centos/6/current/x86_64/RPMS/asterisknow-version-3.0.0-1_centos6.noarch.rpm
yum update
yum install asterisk asterisk-configs --enablerepo=asterisk-11
service asterisk start
