Upgrade Scripts

Upgrade Scripts

Below is a list of shell upgrade scripts officially released to update an existing FreePBX Distro 10.13.66 system to a specific minor release version. The scripts will update the entire distribution, including all FreePBX web components and all OS-level components (such as the kernel and kernel modules).

All upgrades need to be installed in numeric ascending order. Do not skip any upgrade step. Upgrade scripts are not cumulative. Each upgrade script should be run in ascending order to get to the desired final version.

The upgrade path is one-way. These scripts cannot be used to downgrade the version of FreePBX Distro to an earlier version. The only way to reverse the effects of the upgrade procedure is to restore the system from a backup.

How to check the current FreePBX Distro version

You can check your current FreePBX Distro version by going to the Web GUI sysadmin module. Or, from the Linux command line, do a:

cat /etc/asterisk/freepbxdistro-version   on older systems and   cat /etc/schmooze/pbx-version   on newer systems

Upgrade Option 1: Manual Upgrade Using Version Upgrade Scripts

  1. Check the current FreePBX Distro Version. Display the current version file (as above) to confirm the current installed version of FreePBX Distro.

  2. Download and run the applicable upgrade script. To install an update script via the Linux command line, use the following commands, substituting the proper scripts from above. Download the upgrade script matching the current version of FreePBX Distro installed, mark it as executable and run it. Upgrade scripts should be run as the Linux root user.

# download the upgrade script mkdir /root/upgradescripts cd /root/upgradescripts wget https://upgrades.freepbxdistro.org/stable/10.13.66/upgrade-10.13.66-2.sh      # make the script executable chmod +x *.sh    # change back to / to avoid some script warnings and run the script cd / /root/upgradescripts/upgrade-10.13.66-2.sh

The FreePBX Distro upgrade script will update both FreePBX components (Asterisk, the FreePBX web GUI) and all base CentOS components.

  1. Specific script instructions: 

Note any special instructions displayed at the end of the upgrade if any are displayed, such as to reboot the system.

 4. Confirm the new FreePBX Distro version. Cat the updated (now current) version file (as above) to confirm the current installed version of FreePBX Distro is the expected newer version.

Upgrade Option 2: Upgrade Using Commercial System Administration Pro Module

If you have the sysadmin module installed and have also purchased the SysAdmin Pro commercial license for it, you can use either the FreePBX web GUI to perform an update, or you can run the script shown below from the command line to auto-update your system to the latest version.

Using the Web GUI

Using the Command Line

/usr/sbin/sysadmin_update_system

Resolving OS configuration file changes

Some upgrade scripts will result in .rpm package updates that need configuration files to be manually cleaned up afterwards. The general procedure is described in the page Cleaning up files from a RPM update.
