[SR-Users] Using reserved keywords in cfg variables

[Paul Claudiu Boriga]

Hello Daniel,

Kamailio logs 2 error messages in the logfile:

Jun  2 15:03:51 test-proxy1-bs kamailio: : <core> [cfg.y:3368]: 
yyerror_at(): parse error in config file /etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg, 
line 254, column 9-14: syntax error
Jun  2 15:03:51 test-proxy1-bs kamailio: : <core> [cfg.y:3368]: 
yyerror_at(): parse error in config file /etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg, 
line 254, column 9-14:

This is the line 254 from the config:

my_name.enable = 1 descr "test variable"

Regards,
Claudiu.
