retrieve_conf failed to sym link:

  /etc/asterisk/sip_notify.conf from core/etc

This can result in FATAL failures to your PBX. If the target file exists and not identical, the symlink will not occur and you should rename the target file to allow the automatic sym link to occur and remove this error, unless this is an intentional customization.

 mv   /etc/asterisk/sip_notify.conf   /etc/asterisk/sip_notify.conf.old
 ln -s /opt/freepbx/admin/modules/core/etc/sip_notify.conf /etc/asterisk/sip_notify.conf
chown asterisk:asterisk /etc/asterisk/sip_notify.conf

version for SME8

need to update freepbx framework until at least 2.8 and would be better in http://www.freepbx.org/trac/milestone/2.10 or http://www.freepbx.org/trac/milestone/2.9

as current version of asterisk is 1.6 in sme8

for sme7 should not update after 2.8 as asterisk 1.4 is not supported anymore

17:22, 10 November 2012 (MST)Unnilennium

install on SME8 with kernel >2.6.18-308.21

first get an up to date system

yum update
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

add elrepo to your machine

signal-event yum-modify

install without dependency the last available from smecontribs dahdi-linux rpm, without deps because it requires kmdl that are not available anymore

wget http://mirror.canada.pialasse.com/releases/8.1/smecontribs/i386/RPMS/dahdi-linux-2.4.1-70.el5.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh --nodeps dahdi-linux-2.4.1-70.el5.i386.rpm

install freepbx with kmod

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs --enablerepo=elrepo install smeserver-freepbx kmod-dahdi

then

signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

then go to your server-manager and update freepbx (up to 2.9 as it it the last version to fully support asterisks16) through its own interface after each version upgrade execute (2.5->2.6->2.7->2.8->2.9)

signal-event freepbx-update

to get access again to the interface.

procedure to update : - go to module admin - click check online - update all available "Upgrade all" - then apply changes and reload ( orange box) - then click check online - select 2.x "Upgrade Tool", install by clicking "process" and follow the instructions ( basically doing the same previous process, but by first updating only the FreePBX Framework, and after applying and reloading all update all other modules)
