Good morning,

I am sitting with a problem, have looked online for hours, but can’t find the solution.
I hope anybody here can help me with it.

Help is highly appreciate.

I just tried installing asterisk
I get the following error

Could not find the requested service asterisk: host

Anybody a clue what this means?
Thank you in advance.

the output errors;

The Asterisk project does not provide an ansible role or playbook for installation. If this is something you wrote yourself you’ll need to show precisely what it is failing on, if it is something you got from elsewhere I’d suggest reaching out there.

This is the playbook I used.
The problem should be here.

Have been busy with it for hours now.
Thank you for your prompt reply

You haven’t specified which Linux distribution you are using so I can only guess that either it is expecting a systemd unit file (which Asterisk does not include) or is a Linux distribution which an init script is not installed for.

At this moment we are using Amazon Linux cloud server.
Than it is of course the question what are we missing here.
