TIPS How to Upgrade to 64bit and clear dashboard warning messages

[t123thomas]

Just as an intro, I am newbi, came acrossed PBX wonderfull product, my objective is to implement PBX in flash in 5 five rooms, it have been a selfthought through materials from internet t/Youtube tutorial, so far I am getting there gradually.

My system is as follows:
VirtualBox 5.0.10
PIAF-Green-32
Operating system Red Hat (32 bit)
PIAF-Green Astrick 11FreePBX2.11

Two questions:
First, though my PC runs on Windows 7 professional,
system type is 64-bit Operating System,
Would it be advisable to upgrade to PIAF 64bit,
if so where do I find the software and
would I need to to uninstalled 32bit or it should be fine to ungrade to 64bit

Second question, how do I resolved these following issues, showing on my dashboard

.htaccess files are disable on this webserver. Please enable them
To protect the integrity of your server, you must allow overrides in your webserver's configuration file for the User Control Panel. For more information see: http://wiki.freepbx.org/display/F2/Webserver+Overrides

There are 2 modules available for online upgrades
conferencespro 12.0.28 (current: 2.11.0.13)
parkpro 12.0.10 (current: 2.11.0.11)

I should point out I am a complete novice to linux my knowledge is Zero, so I will appreciate dummy proof guidance.

Thanks for your time and kind supports

@t123thomas ... You'd probably do well to abandon your PIAF Green Virtual Box image and instead go for the image that is designed with IncrediblePBX13-12.2. You can read all about it here: http://nerdvittles.com/?p=14877. Download from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pbxinaflash/files/IncrediblePBX13-12 with Incredible PBX GUI/

But be sure to follow the instructions in the Nerd Vittles article - especially the section with instructions of what's to be done the first time that the image is launched in VirtualBox, i.e., changing passwords, setting a password for the web-based features within the Incredible GUI.

This will be your quickest path to an upgraded system - and you'll be able to reference the settings of the older PIAF Green system to configure your new.

Thanks for your swift response, i have downloaded the tar zip file and ready to installed, just wondering, do I need to uninstalled the cuurent version and would this not affect all existing settings in PBX or it doesn't matter.
Thanks for your support, most appreciated

No ... since you're running the original PIAF-Green in one Virtual Box "session" ... you can import the .ova for the IncrediblePBX13-12.2 directly into another session without impacting the currently-running system/session.

In fact, both can be simultaneously operational. Your router will assign different IP addresses to each of the Virtual Box sessions, permitting both the old and new PBXs to be functional. But, be aware that if you're using the same phones they'll be configured to register with one or the other of the PBX sessions. And though you can configure DIDs for both systems the same way, they'll have to be disabled in the configuration that is "not being used now." Keeping them both available will give you a way to copy from one configuration to the new one.

Keep in mind that CHAN_SIP in IncrediblePBX13-12.2 utilizes port 5061 by default, but PIAF-Green assigns CHAN_SIP to port 5060. Be aware of the options in your phones and your DID configurations.

i have downloaded the zip file and ready to installed,

I do hope that you just mis-typed the file type in your comment above ... you should have downloaded the "IncrediblePBX13-12.2-SL67.ova" file ... maybe that's what you meant ... for use with VirtualBox.

Hi @ Pete, My installation was fine, was able to change the root password, however I am unable to change the GUI which would allow me o login into web screen.
I tried "passwd-master" this fails, which what I used in the other version, just wondering which code do type in order to gain access into GUI
What I am suppose to do from here

Cheers!

• Change your root password:passwd this I used for changing the root, that work fine
• Set your Incredible GUI admin password:/root/admin-pw-change, this did not work to change admin password
• Set the admin password for web apps:htpasswd /etc/pbx/wwwpasswd admin
