[Asterisk-Users] HELP NEEDED! - Asterisk GUI

Yes, cd in your asterisk source dir, from where you installed it.

>Secondly, is the statement no.2 a line a need to change in a given file?
You have to change/verify some settings in phpconfig_init.php . 
Look for fakeuser=admin.
Set $reset_cmd = "./asterisk.reload";
Be shure, the script has write access in /etc/asterisk
Have something in your sudoers file (/etc/sudoers) like
apache ALL=(ALL)        NOPASSWD: ALL
to allow apache execute system commands like asterisk -r -x 'restart now'

Another important file is the manager.conf in /etc/asterisk
[general]
enabled = yes
port = 5038
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0

[admin]
secret = secret
permit = 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user
write = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user

With these settings enabled, it should work.
Be aware, this is not a secure solution since allowing apache to execute
system-commands, and using the asterisk-web-dir (/var/www/html/asterisk)
without any further security actions like .htaccess file should only be used
in trusted  environments like intranets.
We can live with these restrictions. In the meanwhile we 're testing and
evaluating the complete asterisk configuration from within mysql.

Hope, I could help you a bit...
