I'm working with Asterisk 1.2.5 to get a working system. There are 50 Asterisk configuration files in /etc/asterisk. Are they _all_ called by Asterisk or are some only used in a #include? Is there any way to get a list of which ones Asterisk uses by default? There is only a single #include file and it doesn't even exist. I have only messed with 4 files so far. Are there any more I should be editing? Which ones could be safely ignored? So far the system is just SIP with Zaptel to be added next. The 4 files I have changed are: sip.conf extensions.conf extensions_additional.conf voicemail.conf My list of files in /etc/asterisk - sorted most recent last: ------------------------------------------------------------ lba@linda asterisk # ls -1tr zapata.conf vpb.conf telcordia-1.adsi skinny.conf sip_notify.conf rtp.conf rpt.conf res_odbc.conf queues.conf privacy.conf phone.conf oss.conf osp.conf musiconhold.conf modules.conf modem.conf misdn.conf mgcp.conf meetme.conf manager.conf logger.conf indications.conf iaxprov.conf iax.conf festival.conf features.conf extensions.ael extconfig.conf enum.conf dundi.conf dnsmgr.conf codecs.conf cdr_tds.conf cdr_pgsql.conf cdr_odbc.conf cdr_manager.conf cdr_custom.conf cdr.conf asterisk.conf asterisk.adsi alsa.conf alarmreceiver.conf agents.conf adtranvofr.conf adsi.conf sip.conf extensions.conf extensions_additional.conf voicemail.conf -- Larry Alkoff N2LA - Austin TX Using Thunderbird on Slackware Linux
first: download the latest version 1.2.5 had some bugs and is already several months old. Depending on how you want your asterisk to behave will be the amount of files you'll need to mess with. Let's say you want a very basic installation with some SIP phones (hard or soft), then you'll have to deal with sip.conf and extensions.conf only.... so everything else is just vanity :D Usually you would like to have some voicemail, conference rooms, music on hold, pick up your neighbours extension, dial another asterisk or an IAX softphone, and PSTN access, then change some configs in voicemail.conf, meetme.conf, musiconhold.conf, features.conf, iax.conf and zapata.conf respectively. Want more action? Manage asterisk from an external application and mess with manager.conf, change the way logs are being saved and CRMs with logger.conf and the cdr_ *.conf files, try some text to speach (TTS) with festival.conf Feel like you are in the right track? try dealing with any ".c" file, recompile asterisk and make it behave just the way you always dream of (btw if it works you might want to share your new feature with all of us :) ) Alyed ---------------------------------------- Return-Path: <asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com> Tue Jul 11 11:51:59 2006 Received: from digium-69-16-138-164.phx1.puregig.net [69.16.138.164] by mail11.webcontrolcenter.com with SMTP; Tue, 11 Jul 2006 11:51:59 -0700 Received: from digium-69-16-138-164.phx1.puregig.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) I'm working with Asterisk 1.2.5 to get a working system.

larry each of these files do something for a specific needs.. hence the sip.conf is for sip related modules.. iax etc etc.. voicemail.conf if you need voicemail res_odbc etc for any database usage.. basically read the manual and look into each files to see what they do.. asterisk will start and work without modding all of these but you could have a surprise if a demo user is by default in sip .conf and someone uses your system ;) On 7/11/06, Larry Alkoff <labradley@mindspring.com> wrote:> > I'm working with Asterisk 1.2.5 to get a working system. > > There are 50 Asterisk configuration files in /etc/asterisk. > Are they _all_ called by Asterisk or are some only used in a #include? > > Is there any way to get a list of which ones Asterisk uses by default? > There is only a single #include file and it doesn't even exist. > > I have only messed with 4 files so far. > Are there any more I should be editing? > Which ones could be safely ignored? > > So far the system is just SIP with Zaptel to be added next. > > The 4 files I have changed are: > sip.conf > extensions.conf > extensions_additional.conf > voicemail.conf > > My list of files in /etc/asterisk - sorted most recent last: > ------------------------------------------------------------ > lba@linda asterisk # ls -1tr > zapata.conf > vpb.conf > telcordia-1.adsi > skinny.conf > sip_notify.conf > rtp.conf > rpt.conf > res_odbc.conf > queues.conf > privacy.conf > phone.conf > oss.conf > osp.conf > musiconhold.conf > modules.conf > modem.conf > misdn.conf > mgcp.conf > meetme.conf > manager.conf > logger.conf > indications.conf > iaxprov.conf > iax.conf > festival.conf > features.conf > extensions.ael > extconfig.conf > enum.conf > dundi.conf > dnsmgr.conf > codecs.conf > cdr_tds.conf > cdr_pgsql.conf > cdr_odbc.conf > cdr_manager.conf > cdr_custom.conf > cdr.conf > asterisk.conf > asterisk.adsi > alsa.conf > alarmreceiver.conf > agents.conf > adtranvofr.conf > adsi.conf > sip.conf > extensions.conf > extensions_additional.conf > voicemail.conf > > > -- > Larry Alkoff N2LA - Austin TX > Using Thunderbird on Slackware Linux > _______________________________________________ > --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- > > asterisk-users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users >-- Mike Sales Manager http://www.theclubvoip.com Making it happen 1.888.470.7253 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
