I have a fresh install of Asterisk 1.8 running on CentOS 6.4. I built Asterisk with configure;make;make install;make samples;make config.
When I issue the command ‘service asterisk start’ I am unable to connect to asterisk using ‘asterisk -rvvv’ and am given the following output:
[root@admin-b ~]# asterisk -rvvv

Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl exist?)
[root@admin-b ~]#
Interestingly enough, ‘service asterisk status’ tells me asterisk is running. If I run ‘service asterisk stop’ then running ‘service asterisk status’ will report that asterisk is now stopped.
On the other hand, if I run ‘asterisk -cvvvv’ asterisk starts just fine and I am able to connect to it by issuing ‘asterisk -rvvvv’.
Any help/insight is greatly appreciated.
