Hello everyone, my name is Miles, I am fairly new to asterisk. I have
recently begun to learn asterisk and I have a couple of questions.
1. After installing asterisk using the following instructions;
a. sudo mkdir /usr/src/asterisk && cd /usr/src/asterisk
b. sudo wget
http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases/asterisk-1
1.2.1.tar.gz
c. sudo tar -xvzf asterisk-11.2.1.tar.gz
d. cd ./asterisk-11.2.1
e. sudo make clean
f. sudo ./configure
g. sudo make
h. sudo make install
i. sudo make samples
j. sudo make config
k. sudo service asterisk start
The astDB did not automatically initialize. i.e. performing the
following commands
Asterisk -rx "database show" produced no output.
IS THERE A WAY TO INITIALIZE THIS DATABASE WITHOUT HAVING TO INSERT A
FAMILY AND VALUE?
2. Does any one know of a simple open source switchboard script
that places the caller into a que and gives CALLERID, TIME ON HOLD, and
a way to either forward the call or answer it? Something I use to
modify and learn how it all works more or less?
Thanks ahead of time.
Miles

If Asterisk has started and no previous database existed it has created a new one with the schema embedded in the code. Since usage of the astdb is up to everything else there is nothing stored in it until other stuff puts something there.

If you want to start from scratch without any experience you will be hitting to many walls. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
