start asterisk autometically when system got restarted

I have installed asterisk 1.4 on linux centOS 6.2. and I have also made entry to start asterisk in /etc/rc.local as /usr/bin/asterisk. but it did not worked. When the system starts, it shows that asterisk service has started but actually it's not working i.e. command asterisk-vvvvr does not work.

If I start the service manually after boot up the system, it works perfectly. can someone tell why asterisk is not working via rc.local file and I can start the asterisk automatically at system start up.

thanks in advance. PS: I have already tried a lot of methods by googling but there is still problem.

SELinux can also be a problem.

See this Stackoverflow post here, which says:

If you have SELINUX enabled, it will prevent this file being created. You need to turn it off.

vi /etc/selinux/config
set SELINUX=disabled
reboot

To get a proper init script and enable asterisk to start automatically on boot: change to the asterisk source directory and do this:

make config
chkconfig asterisk on

after that you can reboot.

Just goto asterisk directory where you have all asterisk binaries and run below command.

In my case my asterisk binaries are at.

/usr/src/asterisk.

root@asterisk# make config

one subtle assumption here: to enable asterisk automatically on bootup, you have to be root and issue the command, ckhconfig (from olivecoder's steps)

$ sudo chkconfig asterisk on

  • to verify that asterisk is indeed turned on, you should see something like

$ chkconfig |grep asterisk

asterisk 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

  • to start the service w/o rebooting, you can try

$ sudo service asterisk start

  • finally, to run the cli

$ sudo asterisk -rvvv

--- you should get something like this:

remus*CLI>
