Not in mime this time. In a nutshell: used to have SQL for SIP phones and Voicemail. Upgraded to latest asterisk. I am unable to puzzle out the docs for what I need to put in extconfig, and what I need to add to my system for this to work like it used to prior to the update. For example, I have database friends, table sipfriends, which contains phone data (worked fine with MYSQL_PEERS, MYSQL_USERS, etc.) I also have a database asterisk_vm, table users, which contains voicemail data. Below is my extconfig. I am confused. I need help. I can't figure out from the docs what the point of /etc/asterisk/configs/res_odbc.conf is if the subdir isn't a typo /etc/asterisk/res_odbc.conf (sample below sans passwords) /etc/asterisk/extconfig.conf (no, the README.extconfig is good for table details but not how to map to the table) Note that the contents of those files are Pure Guesses based on my lack of understanding of what's going on. I did try and read /usr/src/asterisk/config.c, but the lack of comments dissuaded me... and the lack of ast_verbose() dissuaded me from trial and error. Any advice appreciated. gavron@wetwork.net Ehud [settings] ; ; Static configuration files: ; ; file.conf => driver,database[,table] ; ; maps a particular configuration file to the given ; database driver, database and table (or uses the ; name of the file as the table if not specified) ; ;uncomment to load queues.conf via the odbc engine. ; ;queues.conf => odbc,asterisk,ast_config ; ; Realtime configuration engine ; ; maps a particular family of realtime ; configuration to a given database driver, ; database and table (or uses the name of ; the family if the table is not specified ; ;iaxfriends => odbc,asterisk sipfriends => odbc,friends,sipfriends voicemail => odbc,asterisk_vm,users and res_odbc.conf: [friends] dsn=friends username=asterisk password=nyuck [asterisk_vm] dsn=asterisk_vm username=asterisk password=nyuck
