Hi.

Sending again with a bit of clarification - my original message hasn't hit the
list yet, so I'm hoping people can reply to just this one...


I am trying to get Freeswitch to get its sofia configuation from lua instead of
static XML files.

https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/mod_xml_curl tells me for
example that "Section: configuration - This is used to send back configuration
files such as sofia.conf." Yes, I know that that page refers to mod_xml_curl
and not mod_xml_lua but I'm pretty certain that the principle is the same, and
https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Serving+Configuration+with+Lua
seems to confirm this, although is it much thinner on examples. I do not that
this page also says "there is no Lua page yet, and Lua-related docs are
scattered all over the place..." :(

So, anyway, I'm pretty sure what I want to do should be possible, but nowhere
have I so far been able to find a fully working example telling me how to do
it.

My understanding so far is that:

1. I need to create a lua script which generates the *complete* XML as would
be served from /etc/freeswitch/autoload_configs/sofia.conf.xml and all its
included sub-directories/files

2. This XML as output from the script should be enclosed within tags:

<document type="freeswitch/xml">
<section name="configuration">
... XML goes here ...
</section>
</document>

3. I should place this lua script in freeswitch's scripting directory, which
on my (Debian) machine is /usr/share/freeswitch/scripts

4. I need to enable this script to be run by including in
/etc/freeswitch/autoload_configs/lua.conf.xml:

<param name="xml-handler-script" value="sofia.conf.lua"/>
<param name="xml-handler-bindings" value="configuration"/>


The first thing which is not clear to me is what I should do about
/etc/freeswitch/autoload_configs/sofia.conf.xml

- if I leave it as it is, it appears to be used in the normal way, and my lua
script is ignored
- if I delete it (or rename it to sofia.conf.xml.noload for example) then sofia
doesn't get loaded *at all* and when I go into fs_cli I do not even have a
"sofia" command
- if I "touch" the filename so that
/etc/reeswitch/autoload_configs/sofia.conf.xml exists but is empty, I get the
same result egain - the "sofia" command does not even exist in the cli


So, can anyone point me at how to join these things up correctly so that I can
serve sofia configuration settings from a lua script?


I've been told here that:
