asterisk.conf

6.8. asterisk.conf

The file is located in the /etc/asterisk/ directory.

Asterisk.conf is a configuration file where the locations of different asterisk components are configured. (log files, configuration files, agi scripts etc.). Below you can see the paths for the installed components.

[directories]
astetcdir => /etc/asterisk

; All cofiguration files (*.conf) will be stored in the directory above (/etc/asterisk/).

astmoddir => /usr/lib/asterisk/modules

; astmoddir is pointing to the directory where the asterisk modules are located - dial applications (app_dial.so), channels (chan_iax2.so), codecs, codec formats, etc.

astvarlibdir => /var/lib/asterisk

; /var/lib/asterisk is a common Asterisk library directory. Inside you can find the Asterisk sounds (*.gsm), music on hold audio files, etc.

astagidir => /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin

; In this directory all agi scripts are stored.

astspooldir => /var/spool/asterisk

; astspooldir is where all records are stored. When you have a voicemail message for example you can find it in /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/, when you record calls with the Monitor command the files will be stored in /var/spool/asterisk/monitor and when you record a conference call the record is stored in the directory /var/spool/asterisk/meetme.

astrundir => /var/run

; This is the directory where asterisk will store its PID file, which identifies the running proces.

astlogdir => /var/log/asterisk

; In this directory you can find all log files which are created. You can change the log files by editing .

[files]
; Changing the following lines may compromise your security
; Asterisk.ctl is the pipe that is used to connect the remote CLI
; (asterisk -r) to Asterisk. Changing these settings change the
; permissions and ownership of this file.
; The file is created when Asterisk starts, in the "astrundir" above.

;astctlpermissions = 0660
;astctlowner = root
;astctlgroup = asterisk
;astctl = asterisk.ctl

I'm having trouble accessing Voicemails through Apache, try as I might I can't figure out how to have all voicemails available to apache.

I remember changing (uncommenting) astctlperms.. but it solved nothing, can someone confirm for me that that works? Since its commented out by default..

I would need
astctlpermissions = 0644
