Try doing a:

chkconfig –list asterisk (That’s dash dash list, I hate outlook)

If it shows all off do

chkconfig asterisk on

then do the above and see if it’s got on in runlevel 3 and you should be good to go.

You can also do a:

service asterisk start

and see if it gets any errors.

Subject: [App_rpt-users] ACID not starting Asterisk

I tripped over the power cord and disconnected my ACID box.

On restart, I noted something odd. It no longer automatically loads asterisk or safe_asterisk. I am wondering if a file was damaged. When I type safe_asterisk at root, asterisk loads up fine and then I can type asterisk -r to get to the CLI, etc. If I don't, then asterisk is not working, and in fact is not running. Once I do a manual start then everything else seems to be working. 

In trying to trouble shoot this, I realize that in the boot process within the ACID version, I do not understand how asterisk is automatically called to load. That is one place where I want to see if there is some sort of problem. Can someone tell me the correct files to look at for that? I have added a line to /etc/rc.d/local to start safe_asterisk, thinking that whatever the boot issue is, I might be able to get it to load during these last few steps of the reboot process, but this did not work.

Also, any other suggestions as to where to look for a bad file would be great. I may even need to compare my file to someone else's to see where the problem is.

Thanks,
