Usually means Asterisk is not running. Do a tail /var/log/asterisk/full to figure out where it is dieing. This will tell you what is wrong.

I had this happen. It was because asterisk was running as 'root'. I did an 'amportal restart', and it came back online as the user 'asterisk' (like it should be), and all worked fine after that.

I do it and works.
First you need to create the asterisk folder in /var/run/asterisk, then in the shell type asterisk, type asteriks -r, If you have error in asterisk -r type asterisk -& and the asterisk -r. Then reboot, tha's all.
 
Didnt work
