Converting AsteriskNOW 3.0.X Distro to a AsteriskNOW-FreePBX Distro 5.211.65

Below are instructions to convert a AsteriskNOW 3.0.X Distro to the new AsteriskNOW 5.211.65 with its Administrative GUI provided by and supported by FreePBX. This will not work for virtual setups using OpenVZ. It will only work on a true hardware box install or KVM virtual setup. Once completed, your server should be no different from a stock brand-new install of the AsteriskNOW 5.211.65 Distro.
