1) dump it all and install Vicibox or VicidialNOW (copy your Leads somewhere so you can reload them afterwards if you want to)

2) download the latest version onto your PC and unzip it and look for the UPGRADE instructions. They are hidden very carefully in a file called UPGRADE. :shock:

No matter which version you choose ... ALWAYS backup your data first and get a GOOD copy OFF your server ... just in case. mysqldump (a MySQL command) combined with winscp (a data transfer program) is very handy for this purpose for beginners.

If you want to upgrade your Asterisk (1.2.27) to 1.2.30, just grab the Asterisk RPM package that comes with VicidialNOW 1.2. Install it by running the following as root:

rpm -Uvh "packge.rpm"

Where "package.rpm" is the name of the package without the quotes. Make sure you keep a backup of your current Asterisk configuration files.
