FusionPBX for ex-Trixbox users

This blog is intended to be read in sequential order as it is a series of steps that I followed to build a fully functioning fusionpbx phone system. However you might just need to find out how to do a particular thing so you might want to use the search box below to find that specific step. Please give feedback - if you know a better way to do something share it!

Upgrading FusionPBX to the latest

The ISO has a version of FusionPBX in it that was current prior to the creation of the ISO.  You will want to upgrade this to the latest version.  To do this, go to the status page and click on upgrade (toward the bottom of the page).  The first time you do this it can take a while so be patient.  Later upgrades will be much faster.

Once the upgrade is complete, you can go to admin, menu manager, restore default and admin, template manager, restore default.  This will upgrade the menus and the templates to the latest version as well.  The only reason you might not want to update these is if you have made your own customisations to the menus or the templates.  In such a case I'm not sure how you upgrade these without impacting your customisations.  If anyone has done this let me know.

Once you have completed the upgrade, it would be worth checking that the current version of FusionPBX is not using directory paths that weren't defined at the time the original ISO was created.  Go to system-system settings  and ensure that any of the fields that are named in bold are filled in.  Any field that is not bold is optional.
