Great.
Let me know how your policy works out.
I would not mind trying it myself.
I have no intrinsic objection to doing things the right way but
sometimes one just needs to get the phones working!

Thank you Jason
After following your steps, Asterisk starts up each time even after
the reset.
I will look into creating an SELinux policy exception for Asterisk.
Have a great day!

Dan – you probably installed the init script (look in /etc/init.d for
an ‘asterisk’ file). Asterisk includes the older init style scripts
which are *compatible* with systemd but you don’t have as much control
compared to creating an Asterisk systemd file. (SystemD service files
replace InitD scripts). So that might be part of the solution, but first…
If disabling Selinux allows Asterisk to run as you expect then you can
create an selinux policy exception for Asterisk – BUT, ignore that for
now. Just keep SElinux disabled (edit /etc/sysconfig/selinux and set
to disabled) and come back to that later.
So in preparation to diagnose further:
1.Disable asterisk service (systemctl disable asterisk)
2.Disable selinux (as described above)
3.Reboot.
Next, try to start asterisk with ‘systemctl start asterisk’. Does it
work as expected? If no, what user have you logged in with?
If not root, su to root and try again. Did it asterisk service start
properly?
If yes, you should create a systemd service file and use the
‘user=root’ parameter (and remove the initd service script).
Does Asterisk start properly now every time? If yes re-enable to your
systemd Asterisk service to start with the system.
I don’t see any attachment (probably stripped by the list manager) but
that shouldn’t matter – if your Asterisk service is not running as
root that would explain a range of strange behaviours.

Thanks Jason.
I will try to explain what I’m seeing for this issue.
I did a fresh install of CentOS 7 Minimal into a VM with VMWare
Workstation. Followed the Asterisk from Source instructions using
pjproject 2.6 and asterisk 13.14.0 for the configure, install, … At
the end of the asterisk portion, I ran the make config which I
understand installs the Initialization scripts.
After this, when I restart my CentOS 7 Minimal, I was seeing the
safe_asterisk process, but asterisk would not start. I could run it
from the command line and it would run.
It was suggested that it’s an selinux problem. They had me try
‘setenforce 0’. After this, asterisk process starts running.
As I understand it, there was mention of using systemd instead of
using safe_asterisk.
Other e-mails indicated I should look at the audit.log, so I included
that information. This audit.log mentioned astdb.sqlite3, so I wasn’t
sure if that’s the problem.
I also just tried a restart and ran ‘systemctl start asterisk’. This
did not start the asterisk process.
Through the various recommendations, I’ve become confused on what the
correct path would be. I have had zero problems with Debian and
Asterisk for many years. Making the change to CentOS. Followed the
instructions from asterisk.org, but for some reason I hit a problem
with this on my CentOS VM.

Simply looking for guidance on what the correct approach to solve this
problem is.
Have a great day!

The history of the question is lost (in the mail thread) so I’ll jump
in based on what I could see in my recent mail and the subject line:
-The ASTDB should have no impact on Asterisk service start (which I
assume is the problem given the subject line)
-If you disabled SElinux then that’s not the problem in starting asterisk
From another posting it appears that you can start Asterisk from the
binary, and from safe_asterisk. If that’s correct, then are you able
to start/stop Asterisk from the service file? With CentOS7 that would be:
systemctl start asterisk
Is your asterisk service file present? (You can create one easily
based on samples on the internet). If you have an asterisk service
file but startup fails post the relevant portion of your syslog
(journalctl).
If your question has changed (you mentioned ‘the first problem’) then
ignore the above; jumping in late.
