Upgrading ipbx

From Taridium

Revision as of 15:47, 4 November 2009

Free ipbx updates are provided to all registered and licensed customers. Contact support@taridium.com if you can't access the repositories.

Upgrades of ipbx should be performed during off hours, but will usually not affect any ongoing voice traffic unless the switching package asterisk and/or related components need to be upgraded. See the change log for details on each specific upgrade.

Upgrading via Web Interface

Go to Advanced Setup → Maintenance and click on check for updates - if an update is available, you can select install update to perform the upgrade. Depending on your connection speed, the upgrade can take up to 5 minutes.

You will not be able to upgrade via web interface if you have changed your MySQL default password - use the command line upgrade instead.

Upgrading via Command Line

Make sure your system is connected to the internet and that name resolution is working properly. To upgrade via command line, log into your system as root and enter:

 [root@ipbx ~]# yum update ipbx

Once the update has been completed run ipbx-config and select option 6 to upgrade the database. Some updates will not include a database upgrade, but it is always advisable to run the database upgrade, to make sure any changes have been applied. It is normal that several revisions of the database will be applied if you haven't upgraded with every new version. Note that failing to upgrade the database might prevent your PBX from working properly, so always check for database upgrades!

 [root@ipbx ~]# ipbx-config
