You must change /etc/http.conf, not http.conf.sample.

There is a different path in my PC…root/asterisk-1.4.25.1/configs…here i can find http.conf.sample and manager.conf

That path is not used at run time. Files have to be in /etc/asterisk, without a “.sample” suffix, to actually be used.

is it must to have “etc/asterisk” path. By default path is "root/asterisk-1.4.25.1/ "in my PC. Do we need to have only path “etc/asterisk” in order to run Asterisk GUI ??

You might be able to change the name with command line options, or at compile time, but Asterisk will do nothing useful without /etc/asterisk, or a local equivalent.

As the GUIs generally manipulate the contents of /etc/asterisk, they are unlikely to be usable if you do manage to change the name of the directory.

I would strongly advise learning how to operate Asterisk, at a basic level, without a GUI, so that you understand what the GUI is actually doing.

can you suggest me any article or pdf to learn the basics of asterisk. Will this problem be resolved if i install asteriskNow,which includes asterisk and asterisk GUI as well.

Asterisk: The Future of Telephony, Second Edition (PDF)

Hi,

I have re-installed linux CentOS on my PC. Now should i install Asterisk + Asterisk GUI,as given in “Future of telephony” or simply install AsteriskNOW from the installation pdf. I downloaded asterisk now,unzipped it and than made a CD of the same.Now when i insert the cd into cd-rom and restarts the PC it does not boot.
