Using the built-in web interface

FreeSWITCH comes with a built-in web interface. It is made available by mod_xml_rpc, which is not loaded by default and therefore sometimes goes unnoticed.

Getting ready

You will need to make sure that mod_xml_rpc is built and loaded before trying to connect to the web interface. The mod_xml_rpc module is already compiled when using the Visual Studio 2008/2010 solution files with the FreeSWITCH source code. Linux and Mac OS X users will need to enable mod_xml_rpc in your FreeSWITCH installation. Follow these steps:

1. Open modules.conf in the FreeSWITCH source directory and remove the comment on the #xml_int/mod_xml_rpc line. Save the file and exit

2. Compile mod_xml_rpc with this command:

   make mod_xml_rpc-install
   

3. If you want to have mod_xml_rpc load automatically each time you start FreeSWITCH then edit conf/autoload_configs/modules.conf.xml and uncomment this line:

   <!-- <load module=" mod_xml_rpc "/> -->

   Save the file and exit.
