Asterisk Ready.
*CLI>
It looks like the Asterisk stars quite nicely.
Try running this:
safe_asterisk
asterisk -r
when i type safe_asterisk i have got this
Cannot find specified TTY (9)
please help
Have we established that it is Linux. safe_asterisk relies on the behaviour on Linux, at least on PC hardware, of running multiple virtual terminals on the physical console. You can then switch between them using ctl-alt-Fn. Rather than running asterisk in true background mode, it runs it with output to /dev/tty9, so that you can use ctl-alt-F9 to look at the CLI output. It also doesn’t run it in background mode, so that it can monitor it, and restart it if it crashes.
It seems that something about your system is invalidating that assumption, in which case, you should try running it in true background mode, by running it with no command line options.
i have purchased virtual hosted server for asterisk and i have installed asterisk on it
so how can we type these commands?
If you want good audio, I would advise against anything other than a physical machine for running Asterisk.
You will have to ask your questions of the hosting provider, as we don’t know how they have installed their OSes. We use VMWare, in house, for testing, and it supports the standard PC Linux console interface and will run safeasterisk with no problems.
I would note, though, that if you cannot run asterisk in the background using no parameters at all, your hosted system is not suitable for running any custom services. Also, as far as I know, disabling the use of /dev/tty9 in safeasterisk should be well within the skills of someone trying to install asterisk in the cloud.
I think you might be better buying an asterisk appliance, or, if you must use the cloud, an asterisk based centrex service.
