How to change file permissions?

[Rachel]

Hey,

Asterisk that installed in my server was working fine till yesterday. But I re-installed asterisk on my server. When I issue the below command sudo asterisk -r

Unable to connect to remote does (var/run/asterisk.ctl? ) exists.

I find the asterisk.ctl in /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl, so I changed the path in asterisk.conf file to var/run/asterisk.

Still I get the same error. I noticed that I saw a letter image over the asterisk.ctl file, is that giving me a problem.

That image means, I don't have permission to access the file though I use SUDO right?

Help me to fix this?

If it is looking for asterisk.ctl in /var/run, maybe that
path should be /var/run or maybe /var/run/asterisk.ctl
instead of /var/run/asterisk.

To change the file permissions of a program type:

sudo chmod [options] [mode[,mode...]] filename...

If you lessen the security on the program, it should work. Hope this helps.

Hey,

I tried the chmod option like below:

sudo chmod 777 /var/run -R

I even tried changing to /var/run/asterisk.ctl.



I have re-installed asterisk and components nearly 2 or 3 times.
Still I get the error

Hey,

Can anyone help me, to solve or fix this below message?

res_smdi.c: No SMDI interfaces are available to listen on, not starting SMDI listener.


Coz I'm able to register in my x-lite phone with Register with domain and recieve incoming calls unchecked.

But if I check the option, it doesn't allow me to register.

I think because of the above missing module, sudo asterisk -r doesn't connect.

Any help would be great!
