Hi!
I’ve some old Trixbox 2.8.0.1 installation.

Thanks in advance

The conversion tool @PitzKey linked above is designed to work with 2.9+ so try it, but expect it to fail. If the trix pbx has the backup and restore module, I think your best chance of success is to restore a backup on a new 15 install.

I just want to add, I was able to convert two old 2.8 Trixbox’s last year but dropping into the FreePBX admin GUI and doing a module update. It updated the box to 2.9 and I was able to use the conversion tool.

I’ll just say, while it did work last year I can’t guarantee it will still work but it is worth a try.
