Have you read the book of "The Future of Telephony: Asterisk"?

In most cases, you only need to touch three configuration files, sip.conf, iax.conf and extensions.conf. Other configuration files are seldom touched.

Did you install GUI for the asterisk?

Which version of asterisk you install?

1.8 or other?

Plain asterisk download from asterisk.org or freepbx or elastix?

Are you using asteriskNow to install?

If you are using AsteriskNOW and have GUI installed, it will be similar to what you at IP01
I suggest you to go step by step

Several files for you must know
1. sip.conf
2. extensions.conf

I have download the latest version of plain Asterisk 1.8 and AsteriskNow from asterisk.org.

I installed AsteriskNow on a VM - twice, after Installation, I've only seen the vanilla CentOS, no Asterisk or AsteriskGUI, no Asterisk config files or /etc/asterisk director. I did not see the choice of various asterisk install option during booting of AsteriskNOW iso image. I must be missing something.

I have installed latest version of Asterisk 1.8 on 2 different CentOS machines, started playing with it.

I have also in the process of installing a CentOS VM and the install Asterisk on top of it, this is probably going to be my playpen, so I can take snapshot and have no fear of messing it up.

look at the boot process and click on the one with GUI. I think for the latest AsteriskNOW, they have not fixed the GUI problem.

You may use asterisk 1.4 + GUI first. I personally do not recommend you to install freepbx. But if you choose, you should try PIAF which is more mature and contains 1.8
