when updating to cln to 23.08
i get this on startup:

error starting plugin '/usr/local/libexec/c-lightning/plugins/clnrest/clnrest.py': option name 'rest-protocol' is already taken

c-lightning-REST and clnrest intentionally designed to be mutually exclusive.

You can use CLN's disable-plugin to disable clnrest.py to avoid any conflict with this one.

@ShahanaFarooqui according to the CLN docs here, the c-lightning-REST will be soon replaced by the clnrest natively built into CLN.
Is there a way to configure RTL to use clnrest directly (I'm referring mainly to new setups)?

c-lightning-REST and clnrest are not compatible, so you cannot directly change the url. However, I am currently working on RTL's migration and it should be ready to use soon.
