Elastix 2.5 Upgrade and FOP2

[runlevel6]

This thread is a continuation from a discussion started in a different thread. I thought it would be best to start it on its own.
The problem is that after upgrading to Elastix 2.5, I get database "parking lot" errors. (original thread)

I thought after the most recent uninstall / reinstall of FOP2 from the elastix addons fixed the problem, but it has returned.

If I make a config change to the pbx, I get errors when trying to "apply" changes, if I uninstall FOP2 then the pbx will apply changes without error.

The suggestion was to upgrade FOP2 via tarball rather than use the market provided RPM version....which sounds good since that version is outdated...but my question then is, Will I have any liscense issues doing that? or will the new install recognize the current liscensing? Also, I am a bit of a noob, so can you walk me through the recommended process of installing from Tarball?

The problem with park is not in fop2 itself, but that the parking module is not installed (that is a freepbx core module). If you install that module, everything should work fine.

As for the license, if you are within a year of purchase, upgrades are free, you can download the tarball, extract it and run "make" to do the installation. It will work and update your license file. If yours is older than a year, the "make" will fail with an Expired message.

Anyways, installing the park module should fix the problems you have (that is done in FreePBX module admin section).

Thank you, I will opt for the upgrade. There are new features I think will be useful and we only purchased the license a few weeks ago.

In the install documentation, it states to "upgrade" an existing install, to simply install over the old version...Is this still the case, when using the elastix-specific RPM install? Or do you reccommend uninstalling the RPM and doing a fresh install from source?

If you use elastix, install over as described in the documentation. But you will also need to perform a few manual commands:

[fixed]
cp /usr/local/fop2/fop2.cfg /etc/asterisk/fop2
cp /usr/local/fop2/autoconfig* /etc/asterisk/fop2
cp /var/www/html/fop2/index.html /var/www/html/fop2/fop2.html
[/fixed]

And then edit /etc/asterisk/fop2/fop2.cfg and set the correct manager user and password.

That should be all you need

Thank you, so far everything looks good. The interface shows version 2.28, and after copying over the autoconfigs, I now see the supervised transfer button, and all looks as it should.
