I want to upgrade my server, how should I do it ?
(I need to deploy a new server, test it and than point the site to the new server and decomission the old one)
How does licensing worka ? How do I copy settings ?

Is there a Kb for server migration ?

Thank,
Dani

This is a short guide how to migrate

5.2.x > to 5.2.latest
OR
5.2.x > to 5.3.latest


Migration Step 1 - Prepare a new server

1) Download

5.2

5.3

2) Install

sudo ./install.sh

3) Activation

sudo ./usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/bin/activation.sh

4) Launch or restart

systemctl restart webcallserver

5) Make sure the demo samples are working, i.e.

Migration Step 2 - Copying settings

1) Do backups for these two files:
Code: 
cp /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/conf/flashphoner.properties flashphoner.properties.backup
cp /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/conf/wss.jks wss.jks.backup
2) Copy the following files from Old server to the New one.
Code: 
/usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/conf/flashphoner.properties
/usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/conf/wss.jks
3) Edit flashphoner.properties file and make sure the ip settings are correct:
Code: 
ip =
ip_local =
Generally IP and IP_LOCAL should be different if server is located behind a NAT or has two or more network interfaces.

For example:

AWS EC2 instance has two IPs: private and public

private IPv4 is 172.31.12.55

public IPv4 is 3.23.21.123

Therefore we should set
Code: 
ip = 3.23.21.123
ip_local = 172.31.12.55
Code: 
# ifconfig
enX0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 9001
        inet 172.31.12.55  netmask 255.255.240.0  broadcast 172.31.15.255
        inet6 fe80::43:89ff:fe90:b8a7  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether 02:43:89:90:b8:a7  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)

        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING>  mtu 65536
        inet 127.0.0.1  netmask 255.0.0.0
        inet6 ::1  prefixlen 128  scopeid 0x10<host>
        loop  txqueuelen 1000  (Local Loopback)
        RX packets 90170  bytes 9615083 (9.1 MiB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 90170  bytes 9615083 (9.1 MiB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
4) Adjust permissions for newly edited configs

Code: 
sudo ./usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/bin/webcallserver set-permissions
5) Restart server and make sure it works as expected
Code: 
sudo ./usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/bin/webcallserver set-permissions
Test:

Here use your domain name instead of demo.flashphoner.com

6) Deactivate the license on the Old servers to avoid double charge.
Code: 
sudo ./usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/bin/deactivation.sh
Resuming the topic, let's do a short list:

1) Install a new version from scratch.
2) Activate license, launch and test a demo sample.
3) Move config files from the Old server and adjust permissions. Configure ip and ip_local.
4) Launch the New server, test a demo sample. Deactivate the license on Old server.
