I am trying to do a migration from FreePBX distro 1.814.210.58-2 to 4.211.64-5. I had setup the new server, done all the base configs and had everything setup good for the most part.
I ran a backup of the old 2.10 server and restored on the 2.11 server. After the restore though it took me back to 2.10.
I could use some assistance on bringing only the data over from the old server that I need vs reverting myself to the same version of the old server. I am backing up the following
So at this point I am running on CentOS 6.4 with Asterisk 11 as it was the distro install of 4.211.64-5. Is there a way to put everything back to the way it was before the restore but leave the configs if that makes sense? I want FreePBX back up to the 2.11 version that came with the distro but all my backup information.
As far as upgrade scripts I don’t think that will work, the reason I am doing this migration is there was no upgrade path from 1.814.210.58-2 to 4.211.64-5.
dicko, I am trying to go from 2.10 to 2.11 but thank you.
OK so I just found the FreePBX 2.11 module and went that route to bring everything back up to 2.11 with my settings. I need to do some verification but should I be OK? Obviously this is not the cleanest method of migration and I fear going back and forth like that has caused some issues.
There is a fair chance that any commercial modules will not migrate correctly, so I suggest you uninstall them after the restore if you take this path. I only do the open source bit of FreePBX.
Well there happened to be an upgrade script to go to 4.211.64-6 which is good because I wanted to test an upgrade and it seemed OK but I did get an error which shouldn’t matter cause I don’t use it.
It also fixed the PBX firmware in the system admin module but /etc/asterisk/version is incorrect
My guess is you over engineered everything, choose one route and stick to it.
All FreePBX needs to work is a working LAAMP stack, all the various distro’s provide that, or roll your own. Do not try to install FreePBX over another extant version, remove/uninstall the extant version first.
I say because you have managed to get two /etc/asterisk/logger* entries to write to /var/log/asterisk/full,
