1. The port is fixed. You should still be able to use 'localhost' as the hostname, to get a socket connection, but you will be unable to use any alternate socket file (could be /tmp/mysql.sock or could be /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock, depending on how it was compiled). > Moreover: Do we have to expect mySQL support to be removed > completely, and we should thus not spend our time on building on > that, including CDR?

When somebody volunteers to modify the code in such a way as to make another database an option, that will happen then, not before. Any legacy MySQL support will probably be moved at that time to asterisk-addons. There is also certainly a possibility to make the database support in voicemail a little more modular, but that will be up to the individual writing the code. > > > How is this supposed to work anyway - with another #include > > > file, or does Asterisk internally merge mySQL voice mailbox > > > settings and voicemail.conf?

Sorry, tried to be explicit, but it's using MySQL *only* for voicemail box definitions, not for any other settings (i.e. either general or zonemessages). Obviously, the database parameters must be present in voicemail.conf, not in the database, otherwise you have a paradox in the making. ;-) -Tilghman _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
