What Is Upgrading?

The FusionPBX code is constantly evolving - bug fixes being submitted, additions to improve security, to make it look nicer, to be more flexible, and best of all - new features. A complete summary of the changes can be found on the google code page.

SVN Release Revisions

• r2523 = 3.0
• r2585 is 3.0.4
• r2757 is 3.1 release
• r2777 is 3.1.1 release
• r2827 is 3.1.2 release

How to upgrade

To upgrade, you will need to get the latest source code.

Depending on how extreme the changes have been since your last update, you may need to run one-time special commands to bring your install up to date.

Step 1: Source

Upgrade the code via Subversion/SVN

• Login into the web interface with a user account assigned to the superadmin group.
• Login to the console with either the ssh, the locally.
• Backup It's a good idea to make a backup. If using sqlite, your backup will easily include the SQL database.

cd /var/www
cp -R fusionpbx fusionpbx_backup

• Change the directory to the FusionPBX directory

cd /var/www/fusionpbx

• Update the source code (example assumes fusionpbx is in /var/www/fusionpbx)

svn update

• Permissions re-set the permissions on the fusionpbx directory tree - when you do svn update it sets the permissions on any updated files to match the account that you are running svn update with, therefore if that account is different to the web server account it will result in some files no longer being accessible. Therefore to fix this you should re-apply the permissions in fusionpbx and recursively in all directories inside it. The example assumes the web server runs as user 'www-data' and fusionpbx is installed to /var/www/fusionpbx. (chown -Rv Ownername:GroupName /var/www/fusionpbx)

chown -Rv www-data:www-data /var/www/fusionpbx

Step 2: Upgrade

Many updates have changes to the database. The upgrade_schema script

• Upgrade from the GUI From within the web site, run Advanced -> Upgrade Schema which will add any needed newer tables or columns.
  • Alternatively, simply navigate to: http://domain_or_ip/core/upgrade/upgrade_schema.php

• Upgrade from the Command Line An alternative to running upgrade_schema.php from the GUI is to run the upgrade.php from the command line. It was designed to make the upgrade easier. If you did not login when updating the FusionPBX source code then you will need to run the upgrade.php file from the command line. Make sure to use the full path to the PHP file.

#as root run the following
cd /var/www/fusionpbx
/usr/bin/php /var/www/fusionpbx/core/upgrade/upgrade.php

• If your screen was nicely formatted with a fusionpbx theme, and suddenly now goes to a black and white screen with familiar text but no theme, it is because you were using a theme which no longer exists in the latest version of the code. If this happens to you navigate to:

 http://domain_or_ip/mod/users/usersupdate.php

Then scroll down to where it says "Template" and select one of the valid templates from the drop down list. Then press Save. It will be fixed now and you can continue with the remaining steps below. (Note that any users who have invalid templates selected will also have the same problem you did - but you can fix them from the user manager option in the accounts menu)

Step 3: Menu

especially needed if your menu disappeared.

v1 and v2

Now update the menu to the latest version.

 http://domain_or_ip/core/menu/menu_restore_default.php

Press 'Restore Default' on the top right.

v3

1. https://your.ip/core/menu/menu.php
2. click 'e' next to the default menu
3. click the restore default button.
4. https://your.ip/logout.php
5. https://your.ip/login.php

Step 4: Re-generate Settings

Sometimes variable names changes. In rev 1877 v_config_cli.php variable names changed which caused no fax to email emails or voicemail emails to be sent as the SMTP details did not exist.

Go to System -> Settings and then click save. This will re-generate v_config_cli.php and any other needs config files.

Upgrade Path

Version specific instructions.

Version 3.1.4 to 3.2

Ubuntu/Debian
cd /var/www/fusionpbx
svn update
Advanced -> Upgrade Schema

Menu

If you cant see the menu after upgrading try the following in your browser replace x.x.x.x with your ip or domain name.

x.x.x.x/core/menu/menu.php

Edit the menu make sure the language is set to en-us. Press 'Restore Default'

Default settings

x.x.x.x/core/default_settings/default_settings.php category: language type: code value: en-us

Email

Migrating email to the new FusionPBX native voicemail.

wget http://fusionpbx.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/scripts/upgrade/voicemail_export.php

Run from the browser it will take the voicemail data from the FreeSWITCH database and copy the information into the FusionPBX database.

http://x.x.x.x/voicemail_export.php

Remove the export file

rm voicemail_export.php

Call Forward / Follow Me

No longer using hunt groups. So the backend has changed so keep in mind that you need to reset call forward and follow me settings. They are still listed in app -> hunt groups. After updating the info in call forward, follow me you should delete the hunt group.

Version 3.2 to 3.3

FreeSWITCH changed the syntax to connect to the database so numerous LUA scripts had to be updated. If you customized any of the lua scripts make a backup of the FreeSWITCH scripts directory. Then remove the contents of the freeswitch/scripts directory and then run advanced -> upgrade schema (which will detect the missing scripts and replace them).

Version 2 to 3.0

• LESS than or EQUAL to revision 1877, use the migration tool.

http://code.google.com/p/fusionpbx/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fscripts%2Fupgrade

• If greater than revision 1877, use latest.

svn update

See 3.0 Upgrade Notes.

Notes

If your version is from...

• before 2011-01-04 - r669 - then you'll need to run the following commands from the Advanced -> SQL Query tool. These changes the group member to user. It also moves all users who are members of the 'member' group over to the 'user' group.

 update v_groups set groupid = 'user', groupdesc = 'User Group' where groupid = 'member';
 update v_group_members set groupid = 'user' where groupid = 'member';

• • Click Execute (Type 'default', Table 'leave blank' Click Execute)
  • results: 0 for both queries
  • Log out
  • Log in
  • Proceed to update the menu

• before 2011-02-20 r836

"Apply settings automatically with an option to display the apply settings prompt with a variable in system -> variables -> apply_settings = true"

If things go wrong: SQLite Database Restore

You shouldn't need to do this, and it's probably the wrong thing to do, but if your database won't load after an upgrade...

Synopsis of what happened [to me]

You're probably seeing an error like this:

(Fatal error: Call to a member function execute() on a non-object in /var/www/fusionpbx/includes/menu.php on line 76)

1. You were not logged into the browser interface
2. You updated from svn via CLI
3. You went to login to run upgrade->Schema, but couldn't due to some changes.

Remedy

from cli

mv /var/www/fusionpbx /var/www/fusionpbx.bak
reinstall the lastest fusionpbx... 

if you are using svn checkout make sure you set the permissions correctly on the fusionpbx directory structure before proceeding to the next step

from browser

login via the gui, complete the install... Don't log out

back to cli

cd /var/www/fusionpbx/secure
mv fusionpbx.db fusionpbx.db.new
cp /var/www/fusionpbx.bak/secure/fusionpbx.db ./
chown www-data:www-data fusionpbx.db
   (or whatever your webserver user/grp is)

from browser

go to: http://domain_or_ip/core/upgrade/upgrade_schema.php
This should fix the database.

You will need to have FusionPBX recreate all of the FreeSWITCH xml files. When you reinstalled, they were properly deleted (the database was empty at that point). Edit an extension/gateway/route/etc, and click save (you won't need to edit it).

In the future

Make sure you're logged into the browser interface before doing an upgrade...
