Updating the FreePBX Distro
For information about the current and prior release versions and to download updates for the FreePBX Distro, follow this link:
http://www.freepbx.org/forum/freepbx-distro/distro-discussion-help/stable-release-versions
If you wish to update, you must run every individual update between your version and the version you wish to update to. You cannot simply download and install the latest update (unless you are only one version behind).
To find out which version of the FreePBX Distro you are running, type this command from the command prompt:
cat /etc/asterisk/freepbxdistro-version
To download and install an update, issue these commands from the command prompt on Linux:
First create a directory to download the updates to:
mkdir /usr/src/upgrades/
cd /usr/src/upgrades/
wget http://upgrades.freepbxdistro.org/1.8.2.0/upgrade-1.8.2.0-2.sh
chmod +x upgrade-1.8.2.0-2.sh
./upgrade-1.8.2.0-2.sh
Once the update is complete, reboot your system by typing:
reboot
Note: Replace "1.8.2.0/upgrade-1.8.2.0-2.sh" above with the particular update from the Release Versions page (see link above). In the second and third line, replace "upgrade-1.8.2.0-2.sh" with the particular update from the Release Versions page. Note that the first line will require changing the directory and the second and third lines only require changing the file name (ending in .sh).
