Setting config at run time

[pavan-bandodekar]

Hello,

I wanted to know if it is possible to set/change any config variables that we set in ejabberd.yml file, from the code at run time. Basically I want to set websocket_timeout and websocket_ping_interval to some custom values at run time. Below are some details about tech /stack used.

Library used: Strophe.js
Server side technology: PHP
Client is web browser based

If anyone has any idea about it, please help. Thanks !!

You restart ejabberd that often?

Edit .yml via some script and then ejabberdctl reload_config to apply the new settings

It is possible using a deprecated function, so this isn't a long-term solution.

(ejabberd@localhost)2>  ejabberd_option:websocket_ping_interval().
60000
(ejabberd@localhost)3>  ejabberd_config:set_option(websocket_ping_interval, 12334).
ok
(ejabberd@localhost)4>  ejabberd_option:websocket_ping_interval().                 
12334

The preferable solution is to edit ejabberd.yml and reload configuration.
