[Asterisk-Users] Newbie - setup help

[Gavin]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup Asterisk on a Linux (redhat 8) machine.

There are no analogue phones to be used & use is purely for internet traffic
(SIPs).

I've followed the setup guide from :
http://www.automated.it/guidetoasterisk.htm
But cannot get asterisk to run.

If I type asterisk at the command prompt I get invalid instruction

If I type ./asterisk start   I get [FAILED]

Can anybody recommend as site with setup instructions for a novice ?

Thanks

Gavin
