Maybe there is no “service asterisk start” :wink: Try running safe_asterisk and then asterisk -r to get in to the Asterisk console.

even this is also not worling

safe_asterisk
asterisk -r

You’re not going to get it running if you have errors with the make install.

Do you also get errors doing the -
./configure
make

Normally the first error is the one you want to concentrate on.

No ./configure . this doesn’t show any error.

11

if i do ./configure and than make…than also i get the same errors.

You can fix this issue by compiling asterisk again.
do this:

cd /usr/src/asterisk-version

#make distclean
#make clean

./configure

make menuselect

#make install
it should work.
Take care.
