What kind of system is this? Did you install it from scratch? What OS?

#3

I installed FreePBX from AsteriskNow Linux ISO, it already ran and now I want to upgrade Asterisk to 1.8.4…

hmmm now, I am looking for safe and fast way to upgrade the Asterisk to 1.8.4 …do you have any idea or suggestion?

thanks & regards

What version Asterisk is in the yum repository for Asterisk Now?

If it’s not 1.8.4 you need to download Asterisk from the asterisk.org and install it manually.
