Upgrading a CentOS 5.3 VM from Asterisk v1.4 to v1.6
Starting with a ATRpms installation of Asterisk v1.4 on the CentOS v5.3 i386 installation, with dahdi support, use the bleeding repo from ATRpms to install Asterisk v1.6. This provides built in xmpp/jabber support.
Instal EPEL
The upgrade of Asterisk requires the libss7 library. Install the EPEL RPM repository to support this (and other libraries)
# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm
Upgrade
At the time of writing Asterisk v1.6 is in ATRpms 'bleeding' repository, and some are in ATRpms 'testing'. Other libraries come from EPEL.
# yum --enablerepo atrpms-bleeding --enablerepo atrpms-testing update
Post upgrade fixes
Once the upgrade of the code was completed, the following tweaks were required to the configuration:
- Move the Asterisk database from /var/lib/asterisk/astdb to /var/db/asterisk/astdb
# mkdir /var/db/asterisk/ # chown asterisk.asterisk /var/db/asterisk/ # mv /var/lib/asterisk/astdb /var/db/asterisk/
- Enable calls to JabberSend
- Change calls to the voicemail app from 'VoiceMail(u<number>)' to 'VoiceMail(<number>,u)'
- In sip.conf change 'secure=very' to a 'secure=port,invite'
