root dir- contents: unreadable

[Rachel]

I find it kinda of weird, just because I'm running Ubuntu-9.04 in Virtual Machine makes my root directory unreadable.

When I try to open the folder it says:

The folder contents could not be displayed

You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "root".

and also few of my files with .conf extension. Which in case I was unable to run the asterisk.ctl

with the command:

asterisk -rvvv

and it displayed the following error:

== Parsing '/etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf': Not found (Permission denied)
== Parsing '/etc/asterisk/extconfig.conf': Not found (Permission denied)
Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl exist?)


How do I fix it?

You may need to run the program as root (or use the sudo command),
then it will be able to read its config files.

Thanks, sudo did the job.



Asterisk is running on my VM:
Connected to Asterisk 1.4.21.2~dfsg-3ubuntu2 currently running on rachel-desktop (pid = 2105)

I get the following error:

WARNING[2289]: chan_oh323.c:4263 oh323_gk_check: Gatekeeper discovery failed.

Just annoying, how do I fix it?
