Need help - new install of 2.6.1.13

Back in the day of A@H, I installed a few boxes with very little problem. Now, I'm trying to install a 2.6.1.13 box and I'm absolutely at my wits end!

Here's my setup - I don't have any telephony cards in the system - it's going to be a pure sip trunking box peered to my provider.

Basically, I get no love when I try to start the box. Asterisk does not start up and when I do a asterisk -r I get an unable to connect message. System Status gives me an 'uncaught exception with message 'cannot connect to asterisk manager'.... and when I go to PBX settings, I get a web listing of index/admin. I'd attach the event_log, but it's empty.

I have reinstalled the box 7 times and verified the media. I have downloaded a new version of the iso from scratch as well.

I've searched the forums for 3 days and think I've tried all the things that people have suggested - I'm totally stuck. Any help would be much appreciated.

Here are my config files: (I've excluded the commented lines for this post.)

Zaptel.conf:
loadzone = us
defaultzone = us

Zaptel (In etc/sysconfig)
TELEPHONY=yes
MODULES="$MODULES ztdummy" # Zaptel Timing Only Interface

Probably more (most)

Probably more (most) helpful:
tail -n 30 /var/log/asterisk/full

Nada

When I run the tail command, I get cannot open 'var/log/asterisk/full' for reading: no such file or directory.

Does anyone know...

if the amportal start command has been removed in this version? Some posts indicate to start asterisk like this, but I get a command not found when I try.

More info..

When I do a zap show status I get: WARNING[3298]: chan_zap.c:11140 zap_show_status: Unable to open /dev/zap/ctl: No such file or directory

So it seems to be a problem with Zaptel, but I just can't get past it.

same problem

Having the same problem with a fresh install. Instead going to the freepxb interface, I get a web listing of index/admin.

There was another thread

There was another thread going with the same issue.

If you are using a USB CD ROM, memory key or anything other than a IDE or SATA CD-ROM drive to load the software you will get an incomplete load.

Yes amportal is still there as are the Asterisk logs.

working now

Ok I have fixed my problem. In fact the internal network card of my server was not detected correctly and the first boot script were not ok in /var/trixbox/first_boot.... so the amportal file was not created or well linked. So I have add a simple pci network card and from now everything is working fine.
thks
