[asterisk-users] How to make upgrades with Asterisk

[Zeeshan Zakaria]

Hi,
Do clone the existing server in any case. I am not sure about libpri but
zaptel I have recompiled various times without recompiling asterisk, so I
think it should be ok with libpri too. Wanpipe doesn't interact with
asterisk, but with zaptel only so it should not be a problem to update it.
None of these upgrades will affect realtime.

However switching to asterisk 1.6 should be done only on a separate machine
with extreme care and detail, as I mentioned earlier.

If you really want to take risk on your production machine, setup an 8 hour
window at night and inform users of the maintenance schedule. Then do it as
follows:

1. Clone the existing machine. But learn conezilla first, it is very easy,
check it on check my instructions on www.ilovetovoip.com.

2. Update libpri and wanpipe on your server and test that it hasn't broken
anything.

3. If you are not satisfied with the update, restore the server to its
original state from the cloned image.

4. If everything works fine, leave it as it is. In a day or two you'll get
update from your users if there will be any issues, based on which you can
decide whether to roll back or not.

Thanks Zeeshan,

In fact,i have RealTime configured and working...

What i want is to make an upgrade of libpri and wanpipe at least, asterisk
and zaptel will be like i have now...

Do you think that recompile/upgrade this softwares version will produce a
problem? what steps should i do?

Is it necessary to recompile asterisk if i make an upgrade of libpri? this
recompilation will affect the realtime or the well bahavior of the server?

Working with an old version of asterisk like 1.4.21.2 with the newest
version of libpri is recommended or not?

Thanks in advance for all your advices!
