Well… According to my adventures this evening, this morning or whatever it is by now… You can take Trixbox from an old version to a new version complete with moving it to new hardware. It isn’t too big of a deal at all… It only took me about 6 hours.

I actually ended up deleting all the extensions in Trix and recreating them. Don’t ask me why it wouldn’t work, but I couldn’t get any of the phones to ring though they all rang out fine.

Another issue that I encountered was that some of the voicemail files that were transferred from the old system were transferred with the format of filename.WAV. For some reason, possibly due to the upgraded Trix core, it is now looking for filename.wav. So, of course, when it tries to find the file, it bombs out and hangs up your call.

Anyway, now I have triple the ram that I had before, so hopefully that will take care of some of the complaints I’ve been getting regarding my phone system.

Ok, going to bed!

Update….
For added effect, I thought I would mention that in the hundred’s of new computers that I’ve sold or hooked up this is my first new computer - excluding my laptop. I feel kind-of proud of that fact for some reason…
