asterisk in console
I'm trying to experiment with asterisk and installed the debian packages.
However, this apparently starts asterisk as a daemon and then won't allow
me to run it from the console since it's already running. Even if I stop
the daemon, I can only run it from console as root; if I try to start it
with the -c option as a user I get complaints about unable to open pid
file: permission denied; unable to bind socket to
/var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl: address already in use; unable to
create event log: permission denied.
What do I need to do to set this up so the user can run it in console, or
am I going to have to go get the source and install it myself? I am blind
and do need to run it from the console.
thanks.
