Linux – Permission Denied trying to execute a .conf file.

asterisklinux

I'm using a virtual machine in Windows 7 and I have installed Linux on it and Asterisk software.

I want to configure the sip file to create sip user but when I type ./sip.conf in Linux it replies :permission denied.

Please can you tell me how can I can configure the sip file using Linux in Asterisk sip.conf and extensions.conf

Well, there's a whole bunch of things wrong with what you're trying to do.

  1. You can't edit a file with ./ That's linux slang for "execute this thing in my current path". .conf files aren't traditionally executable.
  2. To edit a file, use some text editor like gedit, emacs, vi(m) or nano.
  3. Try reading the manual pages online for asterisk, or try man sip.conf in your terminal.
