BUG Asterisk running as root on IncrediblePBX 13.13

[qtlnx]

A startup sequence changes /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl ownership to asterisk:asterisk so UI can manage configuration. However if asterisk has crashed and restarted by /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk then ownership is left as root:root and UI can't control asterisk anymore.

It Depending on your os . You edit /etc/default/asterisk on debian to any preferred user and group

For redhat you might need to change AST_USER and AST_GROUP in /etc/init.d/asterisk, but a redhatter here can correct me if needed.

 

[qtlnx]

It Depending on your os .

You suggestion is valid for a user created system. However a consumer of pre-packaged VMware image should not need to know any os idiosyncrasies.

@qtlnx Try this:

echo "runuser=asterisk
rungroup=asterisk" >> /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf
amportal restart
