load it.
Next up, we’re going to tweak the logger.conf file just a bit from the defaults.
$ sudo -u asterisk vim /etc/asterisk/logger.conf
[general]
exec_after_rotate=gzip -9 ${filename}.2;
[logfiles]
;debug => debug
;security => security
console => notice,warning,error,verbose
;console => notice,warning,error,debug
messages => notice,warning,error
full => notice,warning,error,debug,verbose,dtmf,fax
;full-json => [json]debug,verbose,notice,warning,error,dtmf,fax
;syslog keyword : This special keyword logs to syslog facility
;syslog.local0 => notice,warning,error
You will notice that many lines are commented out. They’re there as a reference,
because you’ll find when debugging your system you may want to frequently tweak
this file. We’ve found it’s easier to have a few handy lines prepared and commented
out, rather than having to look up the syntax each time.

Chapter 3: Installing Asterisk
The next file, asterisk.conf, defines various folders needed for normal operation, as
well as parameters needed to run as the asterisk user:
$ sudo -u asterisk vim /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf
[directories](!)
astetcdir => /etc/asterisk
astmoddir => /usr/lib/asterisk/modules
astvarlibdir => /var/lib/asterisk
astdbdir => /var/lib/asterisk
astkeydir => /var/lib/asterisk
astdatadir => /var/lib/asterisk
astagidir => /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin
astspooldir => /var/spool/asterisk
[options]
astrundir => /var/run/asterisk
astlogdir => /var/log/asterisk
astsbindir => /usr/sbin
runuser = asterisk ; The user to run as. The default is root.
rungroup = asterisk ; The group to run as. The default is root
We’ll configure more files later on, but these are all we need for the time being.
Let’s update the ownership of the files so the asterisk user has proper access to
them.
$ sudo chown -R asterisk:asterisk {/etc,/var/lib,/var/spool,/var/log,/var/run}/asterisk
We also may need to add a rule to the /etc/tmpfiles.d folder, to allow Asterisk to create
a socket at runtime.
$ sudo vim /etc/tmpfiles.d/asterisk.conf
d /var/run/asterisk 0775 asterisk asterisk
(See man tmpfiles.d for more information.)
Next up, we’re going to initialize the database with the tables Asterisk needs for
ODBC-based configuration.
The Asterisk source files include a contribution that the Digium folks maintain as
part of Asterisk, in order to version-control the database tables needed. This greatly
simplifies keeping the database correct through the upgrade process.
Navigate to the relevant directory and make a copy of the configuration file.
$ cd ~/src/asterisk-16.<TAB>/contrib/ast-db-manage
$ cp config.ini.sample config.ini
Now, we’re going to open the file and give it the credentials for our database (which
are defined in the Ansible playbook named starfish.yml, under the variable cur
rent_mysql_asterisk_password, which we used at the beginning of this chapter):
$ vim config.ini
Find the lines that look similar to this:
