A2illing configuration parameters question

Entropy · **Posted:** Fri Dec 18, 2009 7:15 pm

Hello,

I'm sorry if this question was asked here before... A2illing can be configured via a2billing.conf and via System Settings on web interface. My question is what takes precedence if the option is defined in both places?

Thanks.

I don't think any options are duplicated between the DB driven settings and the text file.

Actually, the options can duplicate. And I faced an interesting fact. I have installed A2billing and Asterisk on my testing machine about month ago. Accidentally, I wrote different passwords in a2billing.conf and manager.conf. And I understood it only today! I did not know it for such a long time because I have a corect password for a2billing on a2billing web in config section. So, we can make a conclusion that in that case value from web has precedence. But I'm still not sure about other options.

Are you sure you are not mixing up a 1.3 install with a 1.4 install.

In 1.3, the a2billing.conf was in /etc/asterisk/a2billing.conf, and in 1.4, it is to be found in /etc/a2billing.conf, and it should look like this:-

Code:

;
; A2Billing config file 
;


; Global Database Setup - select the database type and authentication as required.

[database]
hostname = localhost
; port for postgres is 5432 by default
port = 
user = a2bdbuser
password = a2bdbpassw
dbname = a2billing14
; dbtype setting can either be mysql or postgres
dbtype = mysql


; config for the daemon process
[daemon-info]
uid =
gid =
pidfile = /var/run/a2billing/a2b-callback-daemon.pid
;pidfile = ./a2b-callback-daemon.pid


; config for the logger
