I just inherited a pbx running FreePBX 1.4.21.2 on CentOS 5.2. I want to migrate to a new server
that is running the latest FreePBX, so that I can take advantage of new features and bugfixes.
I am aware that I should do incremental upgrades to get to the latest so that all config file formats
are updated correctly, but if one wants to take the core configuration to a new server with the latest
version of OS and FreePBX, is there a process to do this? Just trying to prevent having to start over from
scratch…
Thanks and any help/pointers are appreciated.
Sincerely,
Keith Cooper

If that is not an option, you won’t be able to upgrade a Centos 5.2 system to current, there is no upgrade in place path from Centos 5 to Centos 6. Export what you can from the old system, then reformat the data into CSV files you can use to import on the new system.
Export all of your pertinent settings (screenshots work for many of these) and set them up by hand. Export your extensions to a CSV file and use the Mass Update program on the new server to get you where you want to go.
