asterisk users - Mar 2010 - Updating Asterisk and its use with MySQL

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi all!

I'm using Asterisk 1.4.24.1 with dahdi-linux-2.1.0.4 and
dahdi-tools-2.1.0.2 compiled by myself with the source code of the
official site of the project. I would like to update to one more newer
version. I suppose that the recommendable thing is to maintain me in
branch 1.4, reason why in this case it would be 1.4.30 that I suppose
that it will have several bugs fixed.

Also I see that there are new versions of DADHI Linux and DAHDI Tools;
2.2.1.1 for both cases. I image DAHDI Complete package include both
DAHDI Linux an DAHDI tools. For this package it is necessary to continue
making the compilation separately?

But going to the question to that I make mention in subject, which would
be the procedure to update the versions of these software maintaining
the configurations? It is correct to think that the procedure would be
to stop the Asterisk server and DAHDI, and to follow the same steps for
the compilation and installation but without doing "make config"?

On the other hand, at this moment I'm testing with few extensiones on
low scale, but my idea is to raise the test a little more 50 extensions.
For this case I suppose that it is more efficient to work with a
database management system (MySQL, for example) for the configurations
instead of files. There is some procedure that can recommend to me to
migrate the configurations in files to a DBMS?

My idea is to continue making the configurations by hand at the moment,
that it is the way that I used until now, to familiarize to me with the
handling of Asterisk at lower level, without using a graphical
interface, and in a later stage of the tests to take these
configurations through something like FreePBX. What think of this form
to think?

Thanks in advance for your reply and recommendations.

Regards,
Daniel

Make sure not to do "make samples" or you will overwrite your .conf
file. This is the important one to watch out for. You can save off your .conf
files and then restore them or compare your files with the new ones to see if
there are any important new settings.
