Re: [asterisk-users] Installing Asterisk to it's own directory
Thanks... I actually did a ./configure --prefix=/root/asterisk18 and ended up with this: r...@debian-squeeze:~/asterisk18# pwd /root/asterisk18 r...@debian-squeeze:~/asterisk18# ls -al total 32 drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Nov 19 18:09 . drwx-- 5 root root 4096 Nov 19 18:37 .. drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 19 18:09 etc drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 19 18:09 include drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 19 18:09 lib drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 19 18:09 sbin drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 19 18:09 share drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Nov 19 18:09 var Have I essentially accomplished the same thing by doing it this way? This is in a virtual machine alongside an Asterisk 1.6 install (for testing), I'm still a little gunshy to touch my production box as of yet. but the 1.8 install did work, I was able to make a call to the demo context :) Thanks, Stephen On 11/19/10 10:13 PM, Jose P.

Re: [asterisk-users] Installing Asterisk to it's own directory
What you did is what I would have done. That way the executables have their conf file location adjusted and everything will be inside the specified --prefix location. -- Jim Dickenson mailto:dicken...@cfmc.com CfMC http://www.cfmc.com/ On Nov 20, 2010, at 5:48 AM, Stephen Brown wrote: Thanks...
