Hi,
The system is supposed to be treated as an appliance, so whilst you may be able to put your own stuff on the server, it isn't recommended and could break either the software you install or the PBX software.
Downloading the ISO image will give you the relevant version, you can then upgrade using the scripts. The scripts install RPM packages which have been upgraded, but I wouldn't do a Yum upgrade on the system in case it causes other issues.
I haven't played about with FreePBX for a while but believe it is based on CentOS 6.
Andrew.

Hi,
You don't need to know anything about the system to upgrade it, you download the upgrade scripts and run them they are not cumulative. It will upgrade everything on the system including the OS.

Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] keeping the official free PBX distro up to date Hi Everyone. I'm about to perform a fresh install of the official free PBX distro from freepbx.org. I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how I can keep the system up to date? I have never used cent OS before, i've used either debian or arch in the past. The online documentation seems to indicate that you can run scripts, but says they must be run in order. I'm assuming the first time I install all the updates will be pulled in automatically, but how can I maintain the system after that? Or shall I just keep free PBX up to date and leave the base install as is? Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers, Mo.
