Amportal error - astrundir in '/etc/asterisk' is set to /var/run/asterisk

I have been getting this error repeatedly on starting the amportal. It even looks like some script is deleting the /var/run/asterisk directory because it disappeared after I created it a few times.

I thought it was a permissions error but it looks like it got deleted every time I recreated.

What are the owner and group of /var/run/asterisk?
