Hi,

I’ve installed asterisk using asterisknow repository, since that getting error message like as below.

[root@localhost CATIE\_SSHClient\_v0.7]# /etc/init.d/asterisk status  
asterisk (pid 32227) is running…  
[root@localhost CATIE\_SSHClient\_v0.7]# chkconfig --list asterisk  
asterisk 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off  
[root@localhost CATIE\_SSHClient\_v0.7]# asterisk -r  
Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl exist?)  
[root@localhost CATIE\_SSHClient\_v0.7]#

help me to fix this problem.

If the server is running, this will be a permissions problem.
