Hmm ok - I made sure to run
make config
in the Asterisk source folder which installed the correct scripts into rc.d
and so forth.
I then did
chkconfig asterisk on
and rebooted the box.
The parameters remain the same, asterisk is there if you do a ps -aux | grep
asterisk but it still is in a non-working state and not contacible via
asterisk -r.
Since it is an old box and the reason for trying to get it going is mostly
academic, I think I'm just going to dump the box and reformat it with Centos
7.
Strange though, I have installed about 17 other boxes exactly this way on
broadly the same hardware and all are currently running fine with Centos 6.5
and Asterisk 1.8.11.0
Thanks anyway, the problem is clearly deeper than I though since even the
"official" way you detail above fails to start Asterisk as an account that
can start it on system boot.
Even when root is the only account on the machine - which leads me to
believe I have some basic error in my Centos 6.5 installation so I'll just
try it again or try Centos 7.
Okey-dokey. What happens when you start asterisk with "asterisk -c" from a root
account?
