Dear Freepbxers hello!!!
I am an I.T. admin looking to upgrade our enterprise freepbx which says ver 1.8.20.1 to ver 14.
I am experienced with setting up freepbx and moving them from a vm to another vm. I have done so several tines.
My question though is how to upgrade that old system to a newer version ? shall i start to go up each version by setting up a new machine with the for each stage ? eg upgrade 1.8.20.1 to 2, then ton 3 then to 4,5,6 etc ?
Until i find a compatible upgrade version sequence ? or can it be done using the upgrade conversion tool ? what are your ideas and recommendations ?
Do a backup of your old system, and restore it directly on a new 15 install. FreePBX 15 is the first version that permits restore directly from legacy backup tarballs.
thanks @lgaetz i will go with number 2 as we speak an come back to you. quick question. if i want to backup everything from old server, do i drag and drop every template at the same backup profile,?
drag & drop full backup, config, system audio … etc all at the same backup profile ? s
Haven’t seen that yet, do you get any output from:
fwconsole setting --list | grep AMPWEBROOT
edit - it’s possible that fwconsole setting --list is erroring out as well. I am thinking that the system you restored from had a different webroot than the default.
Your ampwebroot parameter is set to a non-default value, an edge case not anticipated by the 15 backup module. Open a ticket on this pls, issue link at top of page.
I am about 90% sure this value is stored somewhere in mysql, but I don’t know where. I will look for it later when I have time.
