For all new installations, we strongly recommend Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Update or CentOS 7.1 running on 64 bit.  Before Before proceeding with the installation of VoipNow on a new server:

  • Make sure you have reviewed the the Release Notes, as they always contain important advice regarding the upgrade.
  • Check if the date and time on that server are correct. Using a NTP service to keep the clock synchronized is required.

...

There is not much to do, but do it properly:

  • Make sure that you you understand the implications of the upgrade.
  • During a software upgrade process, all phone calls are dropped. Consequently, it is recommended that you perform such upgrades outside business hours.
  • The upgrade might take several minutes, especially on systems with large databases.  DO NOT interrupt the VoipNow Installer by by pressing CTRL-C or rebooting the system, as your upgrade might become inconsistent!
  • The upgrade process will take longer if there are many CDRs on the system. This happens because tables are converted from MyISAM to INNODB and it only occurs once, when upgrading from VoipNow 3 to VoipNow 3.5.  

  • To avoid this conversion, run export DONOT_INNODB=1 before executing the installer.

...

  1. Log in to your server as root using using SSH from from any client operating system.
  2. Download the latest installer script on your server by executing the command below.

    Shell
    curl "http://www.4psa.com/software/voipnow35installer.sh" -o voipnowinstaller.sh -L

  3. Run the installer script by executing the following command.

    Shell
    sh voipnowinstaller.sh
