Asterisk Asterisk Support

Hi
I am unable to start asterisk after a new installation. No process of asterisk is running but I am unable to start it.

[root@localhost ~]# ps aux | grep asterisk
root 7821 0.0 0.0 103228 832 pts/0 S+ 20:11 0:00 grep asterisk
[root@localhost ~]# service asterisk status
asterisk dead but pid file exists

Please Help
Ahsan

No luck!
Safe asterisk is running. But cannot connect it.

[root@localhost ~]# ps -ef | grep asterisk
root 1914 1 0 23:30 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk
root 1917 1914 0 23:30 pts/0 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/asterisk -f -vvvg -c
root 1926 1676 0 23:32 pts/0 00:00:00 grep asterisk

[root@localhost ~]# asterisk -r

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

Any ideas?
