Hi to all i had a big rpoblem actually with my asterisk server now…i cannot execute---- asterisk -r ---------- command here is the error
Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does
/var/run/asterisk.ctl exist?)
any have idea about to resolve this problem…thanks in advance 
First:
Do you started * ?
If you already did that:
Search for asterisk.ctl
see # vi /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf
astrundir = “…” (path of asterisk.ctl) (probably = var/run/asterisk)
tell me if this work…
Yes i already run the asterisk -rvvvv…i got eror on the last message g729 codec failed…not installed
and also i got a file asterisk.ctl @ var/run/asterisk/
and i try also edited the asterisk.conf ====>from var/run/ to ======> var/run/asterisk
then i try to run asterisk -r it all same error…
Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk.ctl exist?)
ok…
does exists /var/run/asterisk <---- ¿?
var/run/# mkdir asterisk
#chown “user” /var/run/asterisk
and try again
let me know if this work
yes it exist…/var/run/asterisk=====> and had a file asterisk.ctl and pid
so do i have to make new directory?
that puzzeled me…the file asterisk.ctl exist and i already set the asterisk.conf to /var/asterisk…
What could be wrong.
“so do i have to make new directory?”
flaco, hablas español? porque el nombre ruben me suena bien chango!
sorry i was not able to get that…
just need help…
OKOK, sorry…
one simple question…
after the changes… do you restarted the asterisk??
/etc/init.d/asterisk restart
which distro do you use??
Ubuntu?
try this:
$ sudo asterisk
$ sudo asterisk -r
¿?
thank you so much…i already got it right finally.
Ok, but what do you did?
i just restarted the asterisk system after changing all the details you said…
