Upgrade FreeSWITCH from compiled to package 1.5.8

Installation

First, add repository to system

vim /etc/apt/sources.list

add line

deb http://files.freeswitch.org/repo/deb-master/debian/ wheezy main

Then add GPG key to repository

gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key D76EDC7725E010CF
gpg -a --export D76EDC7725E010CF | apt-key add -

Now, update repository

apt-get update

FreeSWITCH is ready to install. Just run

apt-get install freeswitch freeswitch-meta-vanilla

Vanilla is package with configuration files. FreeSWITCH will not create config files, so we must download them separately.

Now, copy new config files

cp -a /usr/share/freeswitch/conf/vanilla /etc/freeswitch

Basicly, FreeSWITCH is ready, and you can use it.

Set values defined in old FreeSWITCH

SIP port

FreeSWITCH is now listening on port 5060, which may colide with other SIP proxies.

You can set SIP port in file /etc/freeswitch/sip_profiles/internal.xml

On line 88 set desired value of SIP port (We had FreeSWITCH previously on port 5090)

vim /etc/freeswitch/sip_profiles/internal.xml
<param name="sip-port" value="5090"/>

Users

If you had users created in FreeSWITCH, copy them to new FreeSWITCH

Compilled FreeSWITCH is located in /usr/local/freeswitch

cd /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/directory/default
cp user.xml /etc/freeswitch/directory/default

Dialplan

You can simply rewrite whole dialplan folder

cp /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/dialplan /etc/freeswitch

ACL

If you had configured access-lists, you can also rewrite whole file

cp /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/autoload_configs/acl.conf.xml /etc/freeswitch/autoload_configs

 

Do not forget restart FreeSWITCH

service freeswitch restart

That is all. You can now remove old FreeSWITCH and enjoy your new version.
