When trying to start asterisk (1.2.21.1) from init script the following error message occurs: # /etc/init.d/asterisk start * Starting asterisk PBX (as asterisk) ... Unable to open pid file '/var/run/asterisk.pid': Permission denied cat: /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.pid: No such file or directory [ !! ] it tries to write pid file in the wrong directory /var/run instead of /var/run/asterisk asterisk is however launched, but cannot be stopped since there is no pid file. /var/log/asterisk and all files therein are owned by asterisk:asterisk same goes for /var/run/asterisk Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1./etc/init.d/asterisk start 2. 3. Actual Results: asterisk is started but no pid file is written, hence it cannot be stopped from init scripts and since asterisk.ctl is missing too there is no way to connect to asterisk either. Expected Results: asterisk should have written the pid file in the correct directory and be able to be stopped and/or accessed with 'asterisk -r' command. # emerge --info Portage 2.1.3.19 (default-linux/amd64/2007.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.22-gentoo-r9 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.22-gentoo-r9 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ Timestamp of tree: Mon, 19 Nov 2007 08:30:08 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.33-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r6 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.9-r2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.22-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /opt/openfire/resources/security/ /usr/share/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="candy ccache distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acl alsa amd64 berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cairo cli cracklib crypt cups dri fam foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gpm gtk2 hardened iconv imagemagick isdnlog jpeg maildir midi mmx mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptl-only nptlonly ogg opengl openmp oss pam pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd python qt3 qt4 readline reflection samba session spell spl sse sse2 ssl subversion svg tcltk tcpd threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb xml xml2 xorg xpm xprint zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" MISDN_CARDS="hfcpci" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="vesa nv vga nvidia" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
Created attachment 136362 [details] added the /etc/init.d/asterisk start --debug output Added the output of the init script with --debug flag to better clarify the issue.
Attach the initscript here, please.
Created attachment 136369 [details] the /etc/init.d/asterisk init script
Doesn't make sense...

I'm sorry to see that this bug got ignored for so long. To the best of my knowledge it is fixed in the 1.2.27 ebuild, and I can vouch for it working correctly in 1.6.0.6
