Applying Configuration Changes

All;
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I’m working on a customized version of find me/follow me in the user portal, although this question applies to almost any module. Once I update the necessary values in the Astdb and update all the necessary Mysql entries, how to I “Apply Configuration Changes” from my script? None of the database changes mean anything until extensions_additional.conf gets updated and rewritten. I’m going through the documentation but I have not come across it yet. Is it sufficient to run retrieve_conf and then do a asterisk reload?
Thanks

amportal restart is the command that I always use. It takes about 11 seconds to run on my system.

Amportal restart does not apply changes.

retreive_conf and either asterisk -rx “extensions reload” or an asterisk -rx “reload” should do the trick.
