Location of extensions.conf of Asterisk in LinuxMce

[ferdies]

Hi,

I am trying to modify extensions.conf so that I can manually configure Asterisk. Please advise where asterisk files are located.

Thanks.

use the web admin to modify your asterisk configuration. Look under Advanced > Phone Setup. This will get you to the FreePBX panel.

Thanks. But I would like to manually edit extensions.conf or even extensions_additional.conf. I have been using Asterisk/FreePBX, TrixBox/FreePBX, PBX in a Flash for several years and have some "personalized" tweaks on the system. Definitely, FreePBX will not be able to do it.

I have already checked FreePBX in LinuxMCE web admin and obviously, it is has a limited capabilty compared to a fullblown asterisk.

For example, before executing dialparties.agi, I have inserted an exten,xxx,background(some voiceover - like "one moment please, I am connecting your call"). etc...

I understand also that it may be overwritten, if upgrade is being done, but would like to explore and see if I can make the necessary changes.

This was the reason why I asked on how to just interface existing asterisk with LinuxMCE, http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=5391.0

Currently, LinuxMCE has some limited asterisk capability but, overall a very good product.

Alternatively,

Is there any way to change the SERVER IP (and indicate my Asterisk Installation) in the Device setup:   Advanced | Device #17: Asterisk

Hi,

I assume that you can do pretty much customization directly in files. But make backup, cause files get overwritten....

Asterisk under LMCE is pretty standard, only several things are autogenerated (for instance when you add new phone device in web-admin, then some perl scripts are adding entries in FreePBX also, etc....).

Maybe most convenient way of adding custom things would be to add include lines in "stock" configuration files and add in those included files.... But after some time you'll probably get tired of doing the things all over and over....

Regards,

Bulek.

Thanks. I will try to do that. However, would you be able to point me to the right direction. I have been trying to locate all *.conf f Asterisk and seems that I could not find them at all. Or do they actually exists?

I have tried accessing /etc/asterisk directory, even with sudo but to no avail. Are there any special instruction that I should know of?

I am getting these error messages, ssh into LinuxMCE:

linuxmce@dcerouter:/etc$ sudo cd /etc/asterisk
sudo: cd: command not found

I am assuming that somehow the integration (or my installation) of LinuxMCE has a problem.

However, I can create extensions, make a call. I even had LinuxMCE Asterisk registered into my existing Asterisk installation. Thus, I am pretty sure that my installation was successful.

Any idea??

Just wondering if you found a way to write custom extensions and make them persistent?  Trying to do the same thing here.
