[asterisk-users] trying to upgrade asterisk and Debian -- not working
Hi John I've jumped around between several Asterisk versions on Centos 7 by doing 1. Copying the asterisk binary in /usr/sbin/asterisk to /usr/sbin/asterisk.1.8.11.0 (or whatever version number) 2. Tar'ing up the /usr/lib/asterisk/modules directory's contents # cd /usr/lib/asterisk/modules # tar cvf asterisk.1.8.11.0.tar * 3. Deleting all the old / different version's module object files, e. g. still in /usr/lib/asterisk/modules rm -rf *.so 4. Untarring and ungzipping the new / different version I downloaded manually into my /usr/src folder, e. g. cd /usr/src gunzip asterisk-1.8.32.3.tar.gz tar xvf asterisk-1.8.32.3.tar 5. Then the usual # cd asterisk-1.8.32.3 # ./configure # make menuconfig then set options then # make # make install # make samples # make progdocs Ok, so now I'm on 1.8.32.3 and if I go # asterisk I will start up the "new" 1.8.32.3 version. To revert to Asterisk 1.8.11.0 (or whatever) I then stop asterisk, and then I simply rename the current /usr/sbin/asterisk to asterisk.18.32.3 and the /usr/sbin/asterisk.1.8.11.0 that is still there to /usr/sbin/asterisk thereby making that binary active again. Then I tar up all the .so files in /usr/lib/asterisk/modules into asterisk.1.8.32.3.tar and delete all .so files in /usr/lib/asterisk/modules, then extract tar xvf asterisk.1.8.11.0.tar to revert to the older version's modules. I can then go # asterisk and now I'm back to running Asterisk 1.8.11.0 I've done this with three or four different Asterisk versions in the past, switching between them for testing. A bit more manual procedure that you've done, but it does work to try out similar Asterisk versions / subversions for testing?
