Good morning. First the simple question. Then the detailed explanation.
After installing FreePBX-5.211.65-21-x86_64-Full-1416750375.iso we have a minimally functional system at Centos 6.5 and I'd like to upgrade it to Centos 6.7. Yum update does install some minor release packages, but the release is still 6.5. How do I upgrade it to Centos 6.7?
We found FreePBX via the PBXinaFlash folks and ended up, due to the luck of the draw, with PIAF3 running Freepbx 2.11 and Asterisk 11.16 Probably the oddest thing is that, with a few minor exceptions, this constitutes a system that meets and exceed all of our needs and expectations, so we simply implemented it across 7 sites and went on with our lives. That means, not keeping up with new releases and/or upgrading just because an update exists. It works, we leave it undisturbed.
That said, our recourse for a failed or destroyed system is to generate a new system and restore the backup... and in our many attempts to script and learn this, one of the things we learned is that the only "safe" bet is to restore a 2.11/11.16 backup to another 2.11/11.16 system. We learned this, documented it and saved it for a rainy day.
We installed a minimum Centos 6, installed the PIAF (FreePBX2.11/Asterisk11.16) and then installed the Centos full development and GUI package, so all our other sever, raid and resource management tools would function.
Until one day, the PIAF3-install script and a number of the repos on pbxinaflash.org and plg.repoforge.org are just ... gone. So now there is no way to generate an identical system for a simple restore.
To answer this, we did find an iso FreePBX-5.211.65-21-x86_64-Full-1416750375.iso that we CAN install and restore .. so this is our safety we can Clonezilla the system and have a complete IN HOUSE copy ready to go.
BUT for us it's crippled. It's Centos 6.5 which has, for example, a completely and irrecoverably broken Firefox, etc.
So my simple question is ... why does the iso install seem to be 'locked' at Centos 6.5 and what steps do I need in order to update it to 6.7?
Thanks in advance
