Try starting Asterisk with the -f option. It will NOT fork into the background so you will see all messages on startup (including any that might not end up in the log file). Search for DAHDI errors which will likely be there.

Also, if you configure everything and start DAHDI but don’t start Asterisk and run “dahdi_tool”, is it showing you the circuits in an “OK” state?

    Josh,

    Yes, I only have one span currently connected, the other 3 are looped. With the Asterisk process stopped I do see the OK on the “dahdi_tool”
    screen.

    I am not seeing any sort of errors in the /var/log/asterisk directory but when I start asterisk manually with the -f option I do get the following:

    Unable to open ‘/dev/dahdi/channel’: Permission denied Unable to open channel 1: Permission denied here = 0, tmp->channel = 1, channel = 1
    Unable to register channel ‘1-23’
    poll() failed: Interrupted system call

    Looking at the /dev/dahdi directory I see the following:
    snip lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Apr 15 11:30 95 -> chan/004/023
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Apr 15 11:30 96 -> chan/004/024

    I compiled the dahdi package under “sudo su”, perhaps that is what is wrong???
