[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk upgrade on production box
What is the best way to upgrade a production asterisk box? make upgrade? I don't want my configs messed with, and need the process to go as smooth as possible. I fetched and built a new kernel last night, but haven't rebooted into it. I'll do that tonight, and then want to quickly upgrade to the latest asterisk (mainly for zttest.) Does make upgrade fetch head?

I fetched and built a new kernel last night, but haven't rebooted into it. I'll do that tonight, and then want to quickly upgrade to the latest asterisk (mainly for zttest.) An approach that has worked good in the past is to... 1. rename your /usr/src/asterisk (and others) to /usr/src/asterisk-may20 2. do a complete checkout/build/install as though building from scratch. If you need to go back to a previous version, simply rename the directories and reinstall. I've had problems with 'cvs update' in certain cases after new files added to cvs or I've touched a local file for whatever reason. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk upgrade on production box
I'm sure there are better ways, but I usually do the following: 1) make sure my current source directory is named something else (see step 3) 2) fetch cvs head 3) mv asterisk to something like asterisk_cvs_head_5_21. This keeps all the old source trees around so that I can easily roll back to any version I've installed previously. 4) cd to the new asterisk directory (whatever you called it in step 3) 5) make 7) asterisk -r 8) show channels to make sure nobody's using it 9) stop now 10) exit asterisk 11) make install 12) restart asterisk Note that if you don't 'make samples' the stuff in /etc/asterisk won't get torched. This should be fine, assuming that the new version doesn't require any config changes. Naturally, you'll want to poke around in asterisk/configs to see what kind of new options are available. -brian Nik Martin wrote: What is the best way to upgrade a production asterisk box? make upgrade?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk upgrade on production box
Is it normal for asterisk to have to be recompiled when you upgrade your kernel? I fetched a new kernel yesterday, taking me from 2.4.25 to 2.4.26 I built yesterday, and rebooted this afternoon. After upgrading, none of the asterisk modules would load. I assume they are dependent on the kernel they were compiled against? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Cuthie Sent: Friday, May 21, 2004 3:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk upgrade on production box I'm sure there are better ways, but I usually do the following: 1) make sure my current source directory is named something else (see step 3) 2) fetch cvs head 3) mv asterisk to something like asterisk_cvs_head_5_21.

Yes you will need to recompile zaptel also. This is comonly talked about on the mailing list. bkw - Original Message - From: Nik Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 21, 2004 5:17 PM Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk upgrade on production box Is it normal for asterisk to have to be recompiled when you upgrade your kernel?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk upgrade on production box
I figured so, but searching for upgrade and kernel returned so many irrelevant hits I threw in the towel. ;P -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of brian k. west Sent: Friday, May 21, 2004 7:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk upgrade on production box Yes you will need to recompile zaptel also.
