| Description: | If you want to place Asterisk elsewhere, you have to recompile. It would be best if it utilized the paths and configuration at runtime in /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf. I wanted ot have two copies of asterisk running binding to difference addresses and having different configs (tried to use the asterisk -C ...) but with the hardcoded compiled in "Makefile" paths the 2nd copy fails... | ||

By: ltropiano (ltropiano) 2004-08-24 21:32:41 Any further thoughts on this? By: Mark Spencer (markster) 2004-08-25 00:42:54 I've looked at the code and clearly the code suggests that it doesn't behave the way you're suggesting. I've asked someone else to try to duplicate it, but nobody has so far. Are you sure you've tried recent CVS? By: brc007 (brc007) 2004-08-26 05:47:45 I just tried this and got the exact same results as Itropiano. However, if I started asterisk without the -C asterisk.conf option it appeared to use the 'astrundir => /var/tmp' entry correctly. I'll take a look and see if it seems to do this with any of the other options in asterisk.conf when -C is used. What I tried is below: in asterisk.conf, 'astrundir => /var/tmp' # asterisk -C asterisk.conf Asterisk already running on /var/run/asterisk.ctl. Use 'asterisk -r' to connect. # ls /var/run/asterisk.ctl /var/run/asterisk.ctl # ls /var/tmp/asterisk.ctl ls: /var/tmp/asterisk.ctl: No such file or directory By: ltropiano (ltropiano) 2004-08-28 12:08:38 This can be closed... -C option needs to have a full pathname (doh!) and then it'll work. If the asterisk.conf file cannot be found (ie. it didn't have a full pathname) it defaults to Makefile compiled options. Maybe a "WARNING" would have been nice that it couldn't find asterisk.conf, defaulting to compiled runtime variables. By: Mark Spencer (markster) 2004-08-28 12:12:32 Added the warning to CVS...
