I tested that process back in February and found a number of bugs. I also tested a development version and found issues there too. I logged a bug report based on what I had found with the newer development version but it hasn’t been closed making me think that those bugs still exist. I’m not sure if that development version has been put into production or not.
If Contact Images were present in either contactmanager or usermanager it caused the script to fail was one of them. Removing them allowed the script to run to completion.
No EPM configurations or Backup module settings were transferred.
Another was that the converted system defaulted back to SIP even if the original machine was using PJSIP or Both.
Voicemail was disabled on all extensions on the converted machine breaking modules that had voicemail as a destination.
The script was originally built for migrating Elastix installs. They were based off older FreePBX code and newer features such as PJSIP, Contacts, etc didn’t exist in Elastix so I’m not surprised that it didn’t work well for newer FreePBX versions.
I haven’t tested since February (waiting for progress on the bug report) but since the wiki page still refers to Elastix and PBAF only, I wouldn’t be surprised if these issues still exist. If it works for you great, but check your new machine carefully to see if everything came over from the old machine correctly.
I am only testing this out with our FreePBX Server. Not going to do this for any of our clients. It’s a long process especially for /var/spool/asterisk.
From what you have written gsiemon, bit surprised FreePBX hasn’t made a script to pull from 13 to 14. I still have to wait for this conversion to finish.
If you read the other recent threads you would know that one is coming shortly… If I recall correctly I believe someone from Sangoma (I am tempted to say Tony but I might be wrong) said this week…
I believe that was the script to migrate the FreePBX 13 distro to FreePBX 14 distro…
That’s apparently pretty complex to do and it is/was still being tested to make sure it works correctly…
He does (you can see Sangoma’s logo over his avatar and “Sangoma” after his name) but:
He doesn’t work in sales…
I believe Sangoma mostly sells through distributors and partners…
I would suggest you look at the following page for more information:
Rebooted to see if that would fix it. Nope, ssh in and see:

Hi Dicko, no there are plenty of FreePBX servers on the host. Just changed the IP"s of FreePBX 14 to ones not used by the FreePBX 13.66 server and changed back the 13.66 server to the IP’s it had and ran network restart and our original 13.66 is up and running. Just made a few calls to verify.
The install of FreePBX 14 distro and then running the conversion, seems to kill it. It is unusable if you ask me.

Hi Dicko,
Installed FreePBX 14 from DISTRO FreePBX-14-64bit-1706-1. Then ran what Igaetz said above which is supposed to allow upgrade from major versions.
After that, the problems started.
I was trying to get everything possible from FreePBX 13.66 into this new FreePBX 14 server.
Firewall service now starting.
Firewall Rules corrupted! Restarting in 5 seconds
I don’t use FreePBX firewall, have my own script. Uninstalled firewall module so I don’t know why the service keeps loading. I will try chkconfig and see if I can stop it.
firewalld.service disabled
but iptables is running and using my script.
FreePBX hit apply again:
exit: 1
Unable to connect to Asterisk Manager from /var/lib/asterisk/bin/retrieve_conf, aborting
Unless I am misreading what you said you are running the FreePBX 13 distro and there will be a supported method of migrating it to SNG7 and FreePBX 14 in hopefully a few days…
re:
(amongst others…)
That is, unless you are running a 32-bit distro since this will no longer be supported with SNG7/FreePBX 14…
I bet if rm the VM and install fresh FreePBX 14 without trying the convert from above it won’t have these problems. As it stands, this FreePBX 14 server is useless.
That’s quite possible, something is most likely going wrong in that conversion and corrupting the install…
I believe that script was meant to convert derivatives of official FreePBX or old versions of it, not actually migrate from FreePBX 13 to 14…
It might work and is currently the only supported solution but I highly suggest you wait for the real FreePBX 13 to FreePBX 14 (and distro) migration script…
Hi, other than a few billing servers, all FreePBX Servers are DISTRO. I will install a new FreePBX 14 64bit server without running the script Igaetz shows above.
Thanks.
Out of curiosity, why are you building a new FreePBX 14 box if what you seem to what to do is migrate from FreePBX 13 to FreePBX 14?
The update should be “in-place” for the distro (and should be available shortly) and there is/will be a script for the non-distro installs (as long as they meet the FreePBX 14 requirements…).
Anyway, installed a fresh FreePBX 14 and of course there are no errors, I just don’t want to have to manually get it to the point of our current 13.66 FreePBX Server.
