How to add user records using CLI

[pyke]

hi guys... can you tell me how to add users using cli and how to find it in the directory.

Thanks

We don't recommend doing that. Either use the web admin or the Non-Agent API to add users.

[pyke]

thanks for the info... but how will you copy all the users from your old server to the new servers?

Thanks again

Backup your database using the ADMIN_backup.pl script. This can create a settings-only SQL file that you can import into a new system.

[pyke]

thanks again.... how will you import it? do you have steps on how to create the database backup and also on the steps on importing it?

Thanks again

Here's an example of a full restore(you can skip the sections for the tar.gz files that you don't have from your backup):

- ls -lat /var/log/astguiclient/archive/
- cd /var/log/astguiclient/archive/
- tar xvfz 192.168.198.5_ALL_0.tar.gz
- cd var/log/astguiclient/archive/
- mv 192.168.198.5* /
- cd /
- ls -lat
- tar xvf 192.168.198.5_VOICEMAIL_0.tar
- tar xvf 192.168.198.5_CONF_0.tar
- tar xvf 192.168.198.5_BIN_0.tar
- tar xvf 192.168.198.5_LINUX_0.tar
- tar xvf 192.168.198.5_SOUNDS_0.tar
- (check for other tar files if you used other backup options)
- gunzip 192.168.198.5asterisk0.gz
- mysql asterisk
- \. 192.168.198.3asterisk0
- quit
