Dahdi Channel Configuration

Hello,
We were previously running Asterisk 1.4 on linux. We built new server, installed Fedora 14 with asterisk 1.8.2.3, Dahdi complete 2.4.0 and libpri 1.4.11.5, all went pretty smooth. At this point I can’t seem to configure the Channels as I’m not really sure of the procedure. I went through the following commands:
dahdi_genconf , dahdi_cfg -v , /etc/init.d/dahdi restart ,
added the following:
Point file chan_dahdi.conf to /etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf

open chan_dahdi.conf and include it under the section [channels]

NOTE: You can edit and configure /etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf at any time

to set up your specific options there.


[channels]

include /etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf

I’ve also tried using our previous 1.4 conf files but they seem to produce many errors. What is the procedure to configure the channels on the card? Do i need to create more conf files? Any/all help would be greatly appreciated

[channels]
# include /etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf

You have a space between the # and include. This line is acting as a comment, so Asterisk doesn’t know about your channels.

Yeah, I just copied it wrong to the forum but there is no space in the actual file.
Well thanks for the response, I’m still looking into it but if anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it
