FreeSwitch(1.6.20) modules.conf file not found

Question

I installed FreeSwitch 1.6.20 and trying to use mod_python module as described on the FreeSwitch Documentation. During this, I did not find the modules.conf file. So mod_python is not installing. I am using CentOS 7.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

In short: "There is no modules.conf file in FreeSWITCH."

As described in https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Configuring+FreeSWITCH

FreeSWITCH™ configuration data is stored in XML format

where modules.conf is one of the configurations (see name):

<configuration name="modules.conf" description="Modules">
...
</configuration>

as well as python.conf is another configuration in FreeSWITCH:

<configuration name="python.conf" description="PYTHON Configuration">

But these are just xmls sitting in their files:

/etc/freeswitch/autoload_configs/modules.conf.xml
/etc/freeswitch/autoload_configs/python.conf.xml

Note .xml at the end of filename.

So the answer is:

You need to look at /etc/freeswitch/autoload_configs/modules.conf.xml file to find modules.conf configuration.

Or /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/ if compiled manually and not installed from packages.
