Updated some modules and i see the following warnings for extensions.conf

ashleydrees · February 11, 2017, 3:12pm

So, i do not edit extentions.conf but after a recent module update i see the following in the console

What can i do to remove the issues and of course stop getting these warnings given that FreePBX is creating the file automatically.

These are just warnings telling you that, unless you know exactly what you are doing, entries with “_” at the beginning can cause unpredictable and troublingly hard to fine errors. Since these are part of the FreePBX context set generated for you, you can successfully ignore these warnings.
