Hi,

We have a server with asterisk 1.4. We are upgrading to asterisk 12.4. Is there a way to install 12.4 on the same machine? At any point we will only run either 1.4 or 12.4.

Thank you, Deepak

  • The answer is that you can but you really shloud not as it complicates lots of things. You can install both versions and run them at the same time as long as you pick different ports for all services like SIP, IAX, AMI, RTP, etc. Not using default ports will mean that you have to modify all configurations for each endpoint you want to connect to the secondary Asterisk.

    If you only want to try out Asterisk 12 why not use a Virtual Machine for testing?

  • Thank you for the response Carlos! We have done the testing on a VM. I want to deploy it on a production machine which already has 1.4 on it. I want to keep both so in case there is any issue with 12.4, I can quickly revert to
    1.4. I can take care of configuring different ports for different services but will there be any issues due to upgradation of dependencies? Is there a way to install dependencies of asterisk 12.4 at different path so they don’t conflict with 1.4 dependencies?
