Asterisk is running as root, so it has write access everywhere. The extensions.conf file has the asterisk_guitools context, with the executecommand extension. My manager.conf file has a user, and that user has read and write access to all of the options.
It is still stuck at the "Checking write permission for gui folder" I think this may be related to running Asterisk on OpenVZ. Is there a kernel module that is needed? I am trying to use Asterisk 1.6.
