Upgrading sipx from 4.4 to 4.6

[Jeff Deneau]

I am running the current 4.4.0 release of SIPX (yum run just before backup) and just download 4.6.0 -- per the user forum I did a backup of 4.4.0 and loaded 4.6.0 on a new machine.
Then attempted to do a restore from the file which was created on the 4.4 machine.
I browse to the location pick the configuration.tar file and click restore I get a red message in the window that says
[MESSAGE.WRONGFILETORESTORE]


What is the proper process to upgrade from 4.4. to 4.6?

[Tony Graziano]

Your backup should be a tar.gz file. Are you unzipping it?

If everything else is assumed the same (hostname, IP, password), the
procedure would be to make sure you sent the profile to the new server
once you log in before you do anything else. Then choose restore and
upload the file. If the file is really big, it might be desirable to
create a backup (onboard) the 4.6 system and replace the backup
file(s) in the backup directory with the ones from the 4.4 backup and
do a restore from "onboard".

If you are getting error, look at the sipxconfig.og (in
/var/log/sipxpbx) for anything obvious and or post back with findings.

Also make sure that you upload configuration file in the right field
within restore page (do not try to upload voicemail archive in config
and viceversa)

Thanks,

George you nailed it the backup from 4.4 did not have the .gz file extension. When I added the file extension leaving the rest of the file name intact it seems to have worked waiting for it to come back up now. Thank you very much! Jeff Deneau
