  3. Reboot (management system first).
  4. Log in to the the management UI, go to System -> Servers, select the management server, and press Send Profiles.
  5. Reboot each distributed server, and when it is up select it on the servers page and press Send Profiles.

Upgrading

...

from 3.10.x

The local domain bind zone is "emptied", if you are using the system as a DNS server, you should copy or backup your zone file before the update. It doesn't effect other zone files on the system, just the one sipx is attached to.

...

Code Block
# header section of dhcpd.conf
option sip-servers-name code 120 = text;

# subnet section of dhcpd.conf
option sip-servers-name      "<hostname>:12000/cmcprov/login";

Upgrading from 4.0.4

If you originally installed your system from the sipfoundry ISO in 4.0.4 and are having issues updating, here's some help:

First you have to determine what your redhat-release is:

Code Block
cat /etc/redhat-release

If it doesn't say CentOS but says (sipXecs 4.x), then here's what you need to do, AFTER YOU GET A PROPER BACKUP..

  • Rename your repo file:
    Code Block
    
ls \-l /etc/yum.repos.d
sipxecs-stable-centos.repo
    (If you do not have a CentOS-Base.repo or other repos in there, it's OK, this will probably fix a lot, just hold on).
    Code Block
    
mv sipxecs-stable-centos.repo CentOS-Base.repo
  • Edit the repo to make it JUST a CentOS repo again - remove these lines and save it:
    Code Block
    
[sipxecs-stable]
name=SIPfoundry sipXecs pbx - latest stable version
baseurl=[http://sipxecs.sipfoundry.org/pub/sipXecs/4.0.4/CentOS/5/i386/RPM/]
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=[https://secure2.pingtel.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-pingtel]
enabled=1
  • Get the correct repo for sipx:
    Code Block
    
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
wget http://download.sipfoundry.org/pub/sipXecs/sipxecs-4.2.0-centos-i386.repo

Now you can go from 4.0.4 (ONLY from the command line) with "yum update". DO NOT use the web interface. After you have 4.2.0 working properly and another backup, you should jump right into 4.2.1, which is much easier.
