[asterisk-users] So many configuration files!

[Alyed Tzompa]

		first: download the latest version 1.2.5 had some bugs and is already several months old.

Depending on how you want your asterisk to behave will be the amount of files you'll need to mess with. Let's say you want a very basic installation with some SIP phones (hard or soft), then you'll have to deal with sip.conf and extensions.conf only.... so everything else is just vanity :D

Usually you would like to have some voicemail, conference rooms, music on hold, pick up your neighbours extension, dial another asterisk or an IAX softphone, and PSTN access, then change some configs in voicemail.conf, meetme.conf, musiconhold.conf, features.conf, iax.conf and zapata.conf respectively.

Want more action?

Manage asterisk from an external application and mess with manager.conf,  change the way logs are being saved and CRMs with logger.conf and  the cdr_ *.conf files,  try some text to speach (TTS) with festival.conf

Feel like you are in the right track?

try dealing with any ".c" file, recompile asterisk and make it behave just the way you always dream of (btw if it works you might want to share your new feature with all of us :) )

I'm working with Asterisk 1.2.5 to get a working system.

There are 50 Asterisk configuration files in /etc/asterisk.
Are they _all_ called by Asterisk or are some only used in a #include?

Is there any way to get a list of which ones Asterisk uses by default?
There is only a single #include file and it doesn't even exist.

I have only messed with 4 files so far.
Are there any more I should be editing?
Which ones could be safely ignored?

So far the system is just SIP with Zaptel to be added next.

The 4 files I have changed are:
sip.conf
extensions.conf
extensions_additional.conf
voicemail.conf

My list of files in /etc/asterisk - sorted most recent last:
