Upgrading ipbx

From Taridium

Revision as of 00:22, 19 December 2008

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

Upgrades of ipbx should be performed during off hours, but will usually not affect any ongoing voice traffic.

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.

Upgrading via Command Line

To upgrade via command line, log into your system as root and enter:

 [root@ipbx ~]# yum update ipbx -y

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 advised 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.

 [root@ipbx ~]# ipbx-config
