Upgrading FreePBX from version 2.11 to 12

FreePBX
1

I have several Schmooze commercial modules licensed for version 2.11 and I just wanted to verify that those would transfer over if I went ahead and upgraded FreePBX to version 12. I deployed this from the Digium AsteriskNow distro. It is currently not in production but I’d like to avoid blowing it up if possible.

Upgrade screen shows:
FreePBX Base Version: 2.11.0
FreePBX Framework Version: 2.11.0.41
FreePBX Core Version: 2.11.0.34

2

If you are utilizing the same hardware, you can use the same deployment ID, and should be fine.

So I went ahead and ran the upgrade through the gui and FreePBX is not functional. Asterisk is still running but the GUI just froze and never came back. I tried manually rerunning the upgrade at the command line using the instructions on the Wiki but no go. Is it possible to simply rebuild FreePBX from a running install of Asterisk?

4

Does froze mean white screen or something else?

5

When I type in the URL of the FreePBX server it redirects to the http:///admin/config.php with nothing displayed. It does not indicate that it is loading anything else.

Before you spend too much time on this I think I’m going to just reinstall and start over with the newest version FreePBX installer. This was a test machine and now that I’ve made some mistakes, etc I’m ready to build the pilot machine. I will definitely be more careful in the future especially once I have this in production.

Thanks for the help.
