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

General Help
1

Hello all,

Everything was working fine today until I noticed a call stuck in a channel & decided to reboot the system.
Now, Asterisk chokes.
The only way to get it to come up is with genzaptelconf.
Any suggestions are HIGHLY appreciated.

Any chance you’re out of, or low on disk space? Is the system failing to create the necessary PID and log files? What does a tail of /var/log/asterisk/full look like?

Did you try rebooting once more? Sometimes it’s just that simple. I have no idea why it happens, but whenever it happened to me, a second reboot was the solution.

Tail is below.
I was hoping it was a drive issue, but no.
And reboots dont help.

Crazy?!?!
