asterisk users - Jul 2007 - Upgrade Asterisk

Hi!

Just ashort question - obviously I am too stupid too find the answer on 
the net. :-)

I want to upgrade a running Asterisk 1.4.2 to 1.4.6 - what will I have 
to do? Just install it over the existing version? Do I need to backup 
the configuration? Will I need to reconfigure the source or will the new 
version "import" my old settings? Will I need to update Zaptel and 
Libpri too?

Argh - I installed like 50 asterisk systems but this one is the first 
production machine with issues so heavy that I have to upgrade it.

Please point me to a update/upgrade howto etc. if available on the net.

Thanks a ton
Christian

Hi,

Try first installing latest release of libpri, then zaptel

Try install asterisk after then. ope you will be able to compile it without
any probs.

Yes just download new version of asterisk,zaptel,libpri  . "make
install"
for all 3 ( first libpri , then zaptel, then asterisk ) . It is recommended
to stop asterisk b4r doing "make install" of new version . Do not do
"make
samples" or it will overwrite you config's . After installing newer
zaptel
do " rmmod ztdummy zaptel zttranscode" then modprobe 3 of them ( or a
restart of server will do ) . Now just start asterisk again and it will read
all the prior  config's you made as they are in /etc/asterisk . It's
that
easy :) .

or just do "make install" for all 3 packages and restart server once (
it
will load new kernel modules after restart automatically and you dont need
to do that rmmod and modprobe stuff ) .
