[Freeswitch-users] freeswitch won't open file

Hello,

It is not a permissions issue.  I have changed the permissions to rw for
everyone and it will still not read the file.

The password.json file is in the same directory as the script
/usr/share/freeswitch/script.  I am using lua 5.2.3 and again, the same
code works in my home directory.  I just copied the password.json file over
and pasted the function into my code.  When I place the call freeswitch
prints "Inside the function", so I know it gets there, but then freeswitch
spits out  "attempt to index local 'file' (a nil value)"

What else could I be missing?

-------------------------------
--Reads json file and parses it
function returnJson(option)

    freeswitch.consoleLog("INFO", "Inside function\n")

    f = "password.json"

    local file = io.open(f, "r")
    if not file then
      return nil
    end
    local jsonString = file:read("*a")

    freeswitch.consoleLog("INFO", "File is open\n")
    local file:close()

    local jsonResult = lunajson.decode( jsonString )
    freeswitch.consoleLog("INFO", "Parsing json\n")
    return ( jsonResult[option] )

end

SID = returnJson("SID")
Token = returnJson("TOKEN")



Thanks,
