I've not tried it but thought I would do the upgrade in the following
fashion ( of course on a test box ).
Do a backup of the MySQL database, and tar the /etc/asterisk directory.
Do a full install of the new distribution, then shutdown asterisk, mv
the new /etc/asterisk to say /etc/asterisk/old_conf, un tar the backed
upped files. Then do a db restore from my backup.
Only things I can think of that could hamper this wold be DB structure
changes, or new needed db data. Or same thing in the asterisk conf
files. But I'm assuming that if this a minor bug fix I shouldn't run
into any issues.
Any input on why this would not work cleanly would be appreciated.

Subject: [asterix] [on-asterisk] Upgrading [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2.2 to [EMAIL
PROTECTED] 2.4
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 2.2 CentOS
Installed from scratch using the ISO image.
With the release of 2.4 it sounds like I should upgrade (for
bug fixes).
I have never done this before, so I just wanted to verify the process.
I found this posting
(http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/4483
83.html):

there is normally a non ISO version available. You normally
just untar it and run the install.
I can access the site at the moment,
asteriskathome.SourceForge.net Just remember to backup your
config in ./etc/asterisk directory.
*****
So I downloaded the 48M tarball, but I wanted to verify with
this group if it is really as simple as untarring and running
make. I am quite a newbie to this, so I am not sure really
what directory to untar into.
These simple command I suspect would do it:
make
make install
Will this overwrite my config files if I have done everything
via the AMP interface? I am hoping it doesn't.
I attempted this last night, I was not successful.
This is what I did:
scp asteriskathome-2.4.tar.gz [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/aah_load/.
From the ReleaseNotes.txt file in the tarball:
mkdir /var/aah_load
cp asteriskathome-2.4.tar.gz /var/aah_load
cd /var/aah_load
Untar the file install file
tar xvfz asteriskathome-2.4.tar.gz
Install
./install.sh
So I followed those steps. I did not shutdown Asterisk prior to running the
install.
Most steps completed successfully, but some steps failed like creating the
new MySQL database since it already existed.
Based on AMP, my configuration is still there and active, but I can't make
outgoing or incoming calls.
I will begin debugging it tonight, but I thought other people might be
interested in my results so far.
Can any suggest my "first" mistake, or variety of mistakes going through
this process?
TIA,
Dave
