The "safest" (IMO) method for installing new settings would be to download 1.4.13 (if you can find that old of an archive) and build it on another machine, then copy the needed .so modules to /usr/local/asterisk/modules on your running machine. You should be able to see if it was compiled or built from an rpm by doing "show version" from CLI.

I know that I currently running asterisk 1.4.13 + FreePBX 2.9.0.7 on CentOS 5 x64. I need to compile app_mp4 and I've read that I need to compile asterisk from source in order to achieve this, does this make any sense ? I'm following a tutorial on how to compile app_mp4 at http://web.archive.org/web/20090322060930/http://sip.fontventa.com/content/v iew/15/44/, but I'm afraid to go ahead and lose my current freepbx/asterisk settings. I'm pretty new to asterisk, based on this, some of my questions may not the the million dollar questions..., basically, what I need is to install the app_mp4 and several others apps and make sure the system config (extensions, trunks, etc) is preserved. any good advises ?
