Editors

The config files of Asterisk are located in /etc/asterisk/

Editing those files with the installed editor vi, is rather tedious. Therefore we installed Emacs to do the editing. Since Trixbox is based on CentOS, it is possible to use the CentOS RPM's to install Emacs.

The 2 RPM's needed for Emacs are located at the following URL's:

ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/CentOS/4.4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/emacs-common-21.3-19.EL.4.i386.rpm
ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/CentOS/4.4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/emacs-nox-21.3-19.EL.4.i386.rpm

Using the program wget, it is possible to download these. After downloading, the RPM's can be installed with "rpm -i". We also created some smaller URL's, which is easier to type ;)

mkdir install
cd install
wget http://turl.nl/99
wget http://turl.nl/100
rpm -i emacs-common-21.3-19.EL.4.i386.rpm
rpm -i emacs-nox-21.3-19.EL.4.i386.rpm

The name of the emacs-executable is "emacs-nox"

Connecting with the Trixbox-shell

It is possible to use the Trixbox shell via VMware (player), but this has one mayor disadvantage. You can't use cut 'n paste. However, it is also possible to interface over a SSH connection, using e.g. Putty. The IP-adress of the Trixbox installation is given at the login (using VMware).

The standard root-password is "password".
