Extensions.conf file resides in the /etc/asterisk directory of the Asterisk server. You have to login there and use text editor to change it. For example:

Code: Select all

#ssh <server ip address> -l root
...
# nano /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf


Hopefully, this will help.

Thanks for the reply I am kind of embarrassed to continually ask for help with the extension.conf file.

After I login "root" "password' I am at "web1' the name of the server.
What do I type in to get to the extension.conf file in my asterisk directory? I am using opensuse.
Thanks

Ok.

If you have 'all in one' default installation, i.e. Asterisk, database and web servers reside on the same machine, then you just type

"nano /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf"

to open extensions.conf for editing.

If you have clustered installation, i.e. Asterisk, database and web servers reside on different machines, then you have to login to Asterisk server first.

Alternative way is to issue 'mc' command and navigate to /etc/asterisk directory, select extensions.conf file and press <F4> to edit it.
