Unable to connect to the GUI

Hello everyone,

I’m currently on a school project, which containts a part with the Asterisk PBX. I never used it before, so i’m discovering in real-time this software.

I’m running it on the last ubuntu 10 server, I made an installation directly by typing apt-get install.

Setup is OK, now I try to run the Asterisk GUI 2.0. I followed tutorials found on the internet, so I edited the http.conf and manager.conf as asked, I ran the make checkconfig, it says it should be OK. I reload Asterisk from the CLI. However when I connect to localhost:4444/static/config/cfgbasic.html (I defined this port in the conf file) it doesn’t work…

I’ve looked for hours on Google, I found different methods, but nothing works.

Here is a copy of my conf files:

http.conf:

[code];
; Asterisk Builtin mini-HTTP server
;
;
; Note about Asterisk documentation:
; If Asterisk was installed from a tarball, then the HTML documentation should
; be installed in the static-http/docs directory which is
; (/var/lib/asterisk/static-http/docs) on linux by default. If the Asterisk
; HTTP server is enabled in this file by setting the “enabled”, “bindaddr”,
; and “bindport” options, then you should be able to view the documentation
; remotely by browsing to:
; http://<server_ip>:/static/docs/index.html
;
[general]
;
; Whether HTTP/HTTPS interface is enabled or not. Default is no.
; This also affects manager/rawman/mxml access (see manager.conf)
;
enabled=yes
;
; Address to bind to, both for HTTP and HTTPS. Default is 0.0.0.0
;
bindaddr=0.0.0.0
;
; Port to bind to for HTTP sessions (default is 8088)
;
bindport=4444
;
; Prefix allows you to specify a prefix for all requests
; to the server. The default is blank. If uncommented
; all requests must begin with /asterisk
;
prefix=asterisk
;
; Whether Asterisk should serve static content from http-static
; Default is no.
;
enablestatic=yes
;
; Redirect one URI to another. This is how you would set a
; default page.
; Syntax: redirect=
; For example, if you are using the Asterisk-gui,
; it is convenient to enable the following redirect:
;
;redirect = / /static/config/cfgbasic.html
;
; HTTPS support. In addition to enabled=yes, you need to
; explicitly enable ssl, define the port to use,
; and have a certificate somewhere.
; sslenable=yes ; enable ssl - default no.
; sslbindport=4433 ; port to use - default is 8089
; sslbindaddr=0.0.0.0 ; address to bind to - default is bindaddr.
;
; sslcert=/tmp/foo.pem ; path to the certificate
;
; To produce a certificate you can e.g. use openssl
; openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -out /tmp/foo.pem -keyout /tmp/foo.pem
;

; The post_mappings section maps URLs to real paths on the filesystem. If a
; POST is done from within an authenticated manager session to one of the
; configured POST mappings, then any files in the POST will be placed in the
; configured directory.
;
;[post_mappings]
;
; In this example, if the prefix option is set to “asterisk”, then using the
; POST URL: /asterisk/uploads will put files in /var/lib/asterisk/uploads/.
;uploads = /var/lib/asterisk/uploads/
;[/code]

manager.conf:

[code];
; Asterisk Call Management support
;

; By default asterisk will listen on localhost only.
[general]
enabled = yes
webenabled = yes
port = 4445
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0

; No access is allowed by default.
; To set a password, create a file in /etc/asterisk/manager.d
; use creative permission games to allow other serivces to create their own
; files
#include “manager.d/*.conf”

[administrator]

secret = *******

read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user,config

write = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user,config[/code]

Thanks for your help! :smile:

Howdy,

I’ve got Asterisk 1.8 installed out of svn branch and asterisk-gui-2.0 installed out of svn branch.

My /etc/asterisk/http.conf reads like:

[general]
enabled=yes
bindaddr=0.0.0.0
bindport=4444
enablestatic=yes
redirect = / /static/config/index.html

My /etc/asterisk/manager.conf reads like:

[general]
enabled=yes
webenabled=yes
port=4445
bindaddr = 0.00.0
[admin]
secret=admin
read=all
write=all

I start Asterisk from the cli, e.g. "/usr/sbin/asterisk"
I send my web browser to, e.g. myip:4444
I get redirected immediate to myip:4444/static/config/index.html
I log in with admin/admin
…and I’m there.

Where are you running into trouble?
