Asterisk Main

Aus A-Enterprise

Below is a sample of the main Asterisk configuration file, asterisk.conf.

Note that this file is not provided in sample form, because the Makefile creates it when needed and does not touch it when it already exists.

; running Asterisk as root

astmoddir => /usr/lib/asterisk/modules

; Where additional 'library' elements (scripts, etc.) are located
astvarlibdir => /var/lib/asterisk

; Where AGI scripts/programs are located
astagidir => /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin

; Where spool directories are located
