[asterisk-users] asterisk.conf and it's impact on CLI
I was previous using Asterisk 1.2.9.1 and decided to get some real servers outside of my house. It was time for Asterisk 1.4.4. I figured since all the conf files were in /etc/asterisk form the old box, i'd just copy tha directory over to the new server. My SIP DID AGI stuff worked, except running 'asterisk -r' doesn't. It tells me ' Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl exist?)' Basically, the difference between 'asterisk.conf' file is as follows: v 1.2.9 (installed through trixbox) astrundir = /var/run/asterisk v 1.4.4 astrundir = /var/run So in my new servers, if i keep it as '/var/run/asterisk, my DID phone will work with stanaphone (in which i'm crapping in my pants if they'll exist cause they never return emails). Though CLI won't work. if i do '/var/run', my DID won't work, but CLI will... I've tried just coping over the extensions_additional.conf and sip_additional.conf files from my old setup to my new one, and that didn't work. Maybe I should just install my previous version. Are there QoS differences though? I'd rather not regress if that were the case. -- Anything else, let me know. - Dominic It is not the force of a stroke that makes fine art ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
