Hi Andy,

From the output I see that you probably don't have the repository key installed and this is why you have this problem. To resolve, open a linux Terminal on the PBX system and issue the following commands:

1. wget -O- http://downloads.3cx.com/downloads/3cxpbx/public.key | apt-key add -
2. apt-get update
3. apt-get upgrade 3cxpbx

The first command installs the key, the second command updates the repository information and lastly, the third command will upgrade your pbx to the latest release.

We updated our V15 SP4 Linux to SP5 and the website is tossing back a "502 Bad Gateway" from nginx.

That's worked a treat thank you.

Hi Jem1,

Have you received an email that the upgrade has completed?

Hi Jem1,

No we have not, I was trying to find the logs but not able to determine where they are on the Linux version. It looks like the services were up.

@nickybrg @Mario Spinthiras Is Update 5 the same thing as SP5?

 

[Sopock]

Extra item in change log:

• Added support for FXS/Dect, Device Web Page Password. (Note: For already configured FXS/Dect an update of the configuration is required by editing FXS and Press OK through MC and

• Reboot Device.)

• Updated .NET core which addresses several fixes such as Memory leak in HTTP handler on resend, false exceptions in the logs and many more.

Next beta should use daily builds?
For even more current releases including daily builds you can visit the .NET Core tools GitHub repository.

In this case no error if server is restarted. Couple hours later softphones can't use presence!

During the update process several services are restarted and as such the Management Console is not accessible with the error message you are receiving. You will know that the update has completed because the configured admin email will receive an email with the update status.

If you are continuing to experience update problems please reach out to 3CX Support and we can further assist.

Update to SP5 went well and everything seems to be working ok. We run under windows. One thing I noticed is that after the upgrade was complete (and email received saying complete) the "3cx phonesystem 01 FAX Server" service was set to "manual" or "disabled". I re-enabled and it started up ok. Is this normal?

Amazing number of updates/fixes in the changelog! Thank you for the hard work.

 

[MichaelB_3CX]

@CentrexJ you dont need to enable FAX Server since in SP4 we moved FAX Service into 3CX IVR Service. So please stop this service and set it to back to disabled.

Thanks

Support reached out, turns out our remote monitoring agent Naverisk-agent was conflicting, the agent is not working anyhow so I am removing it, thanks!

 

[Sopock]

Try to delete FAX service?

Spoiler: // Delete the service

    if (! DeleteService(schService) ) 
    {
        printf("DeleteService failed (%d)\n", GetLastError()); 
    }
    else printf("Service deleted successfully\n");

Ok, upgraded my Windows to this SP5.

Im going to be setting up 2 new physical servers for my HA Failover environment which will replace this Windows VM version. Is Linux ready for Prime Time Productions?

New update is working great. Any idea when W52P and W56P SBC/STUN support will be added?

 

[tratz]

Any instructions yet on the wake up call functionality of the IVR service? I looked at the help docs for IVR but it wasn't listed there yet.

Figured it out! It's in the FXS/DECT menu when you add a new phone.

If you create a new Digital Receptionist there is a checkbox at the bottom "Wake-up Call IVR Service". I made one to test. If you check the box and save the DR and then call it, it is the extension that you want rooms to call in to schedule their wake up. When it calls the person back for the wake-up it will play the WAV file stored on this DR (instead of a separate DR like previous versions of the hotel module). I'm not sure where to check to see what wake ups are configured or how to add one through the management console though. Perhaps this is coming later?

Installing SP5 sank my server for incoming calls. No incoming calls. On my cell phone calling our main DID, I get a "your call cannot be completed" error.
