Updating to the new version of A2Billing


1.Update files.

  • go to /usr/src/ 
    cd /usr/src
  • create directory A2billing_133 
    mkdir A2billing_133
cd A2billing_133
  • download the tar for the version 1.3.3 
    wget http://www.asterisk2billing.org/downloads/A2Billing_1.3.3.tar.gz
  • unpack tar file 
    tar -zxvf A2Billing_1.3.3.tar.gz
  • move the old Admin and customer interface to a backup folder & go to your webroot folder or location of your vhost make a folder in /home named backup 
    mkdir /home/backup
mv -rf A2Billing_UI/ /home/backup
mv -rf A2Customer_UI/ /home/backup
  • if your document root of Apache is /var/www/html/ then copy the new admin and customer interface there, else check where is your admin and customer located and copy the directories there.
  • now copy the new Admin and Customer interface. 
    cp -rf /usr/src/A2billing_133/A2Billing_UI /var/www/html

cp -rf /usr/src/A2billing_133/A2BCutomer_UI /var/www/html
  • Now move also the AGI into your backup folder 
    mv /usr/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/a2billing.php /home/backup
mv -rf /usr/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/libs_a2billing /home/backup
  • copy the new AGI 
    cp /usr/src/A2billing_133/A2Billing_AGI/a2billing.php /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin
cp -rf /usr/src/A2billing_133/A2Billing_AGI/libs_a2billing /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin

- we are done with the files update.

  • now chmod the smarty template folder. 
    chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/A2Billing_UI/templates_c 
chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/A2BCustomer_UI/templates_c


2. Update the database.

  • We strongly advice to make a Database backup before going through this steps!
  • check in the a2billing.conf the database name used by a2billing, username and password. 
mysql -u <username> -p <databasename>

when prompted enter a password or if u don't use a password remove the -p tag

  • now update the database 
mysql>\. /usr/src/A2billing_133/DataBase/mysql/Mysql-5.x/UPDATE-a2billing-v1.3.2-to-v1.3.3-mysql.sql
mysql> exit

You are Done ;-D
