Resolved: Updating A2Billing to 1.3.1

[riishkid]

there is a new a2billing 1.3.1 thats out is there a pain free way to update it

[jroper]

The initial install script I wrote installed from the SVN, and the script with later versions of PiaF use the released version 1.3.1, so there is little difference between them.

If you want the latest, then simply swap out: -

A2Billing_UI
A2BCustomer_UI
a2billing.php in /var/lib/asterisk/agi
and the AGI files in the same place.

The database is the same.

i am not that good with swapping out this stuff how do you do this

I ran the scipt to install a2billing, but entered an incorrect password when prompted during the instalation.

What password should I have used?

How can I install it now that is partially installed but failed due to the incorrect password?

Thanks!

Default password is "passw0rd" without the quotation marks. Since you have not entered the right password (assuming) then you should be fine as the script never had access to mysql to create the database. Only if the database is created already then you will see double entries.

Hi

It's double entries in the cron jobs and conf files that are a problem, not the database.

[riishkid]

there is a error when installing a2billing

[timd3]

BTW...for newbies like me, I found double intries in:
extensions_custom.conf
iax_custom.conf
manager_custom.conf
sip_custom.conf
You may want to check a2billing.conf and extensions_a2billing.conf, as well.
Still trying to find the "cron jobs".

I ran the scipt to install a2billing, but entered an incorrect password when prompted during the instalation.

I did the same thing.

The solution is...

1. Re-run the script.

2. Look for double entries in:

extensions_custom.conf
iax_custom.conf
manager_custom.conf
sip_custom.conf
a2billing.conf
extensions_a2billing.conf
additional_a2billing_iax.conf
additional_a2billing_sip.conf

3. Cron jobs?


Can anyone confirm or add anymore insight? In particular how to fix the cron jobs.

[tel0p]

the way to list your cron jobs is (and check for dup's):

crontab -l

[marc1]

I found that Webmin also has an interface for cron jobs:

http://localhost:9001/cron/


After deleting/updating the conf files, I re-ran the install-a2billing script. I then deleted the any duplicated cron jobs using webmin.


However, as the script was running, I got the following error after I entered mySQL password:

ERROR 1062 (23000) at line 19: Duplicate entry '246' for key 1


I am not sure what that means.


I also got:

mv: cannot move `libs_a2billing' to a subdirectory of itself, `/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/libs_a2billing'
mv: cannot move `/usr/src/a2billing/addons/sounds/br' to a subdirectory of itself, `/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/br'

Hi

The mv problems are simply because the files are aleady in place from your last effort.

Don't worry about the 246 error.

If you don't get the password right (passw0rd) then the only thing that happens is that you don't get the database set up, which you can do manually later.
