If this is Asterisk 1.4.x from say Trixbox then forget about it I would say. Not worth the headache and the hassle. If this is from Elastix again forget about it.
If you have it on Piaf then there is some good chance you can upgrade without breaking *much*. That is because Piaf compiles from source in the /usr/src/asterisk-* directory and all the source files are available to you and you can use it to re-install or download upgrades and compile again. But even with Piaf there is no one liner out there that says how to upgrade it. So you have to download source/compile and install it. And with the Incredible PBX and Orgasmatron and the Virtual one and the Vmware version............various versions of Piaf it's really a headache as well to know what works how but it's the only *better* product out there out of Elastix and Trixbox. With Elast-bloatware even upgrading FreePBX breaks lots of things and Tricks-ware is not much different either. -Bruce > To: [email protected] > From: [email protected] > Date: Thu, 12 May 2011 17:50:25 +0000 > Subject: Re: Fwd: [on-asterisk] Asterisk 1.8 GUI > > Hi, > Kind of off topic here. > If I have a asterisk 1.4.1x and freepbx 2.x running in production, how can i > upgrade my asterisk version to latter version(1.4.2x or 1.6, 1.8).
