Migrating from Callcentertech
How to move from Callcentertech's managed VICIdial to VICIfast with zero downtime.
Same general process as the Vicibox migration but with a few CCT-specific notes.
Get your data out of CCT
CCT typically gives you:
- SSH access to the box (verify yours)
- A web admin URL with full DB control
Use SSH to dump:
ssh root@your-cct-server
mysqldump --single-transaction --routines asterisk | gzip > /tmp/dump.sql.gz
If SSH access is restricted, request a database export from CCT support — they're usually responsive.
Things specific to CCT
Custom dial-plan extensions
CCT often adds custom AGI scripts at /usr/share/astguiclient/. Check the directory and copy anything custom:
tar czf /tmp/custom-agi.tar.gz /usr/share/astguiclient/custom_*
Recording paths
CCT sometimes stores recordings outside the standard /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE. Check /etc/asterisk/extensions-vicidial.conf for MixMonitor paths and adjust your transfer accordingly.
Their custom firewall config
CCT has its own firewall daemon (VB-firewall.pl). Don't copy this — VICIfast uses standard firewalld. Your carrier IP allowlist needs to be re-applied via the standard firewall-cmd interface (we'll do this in personalize, but verify post-migration).
Then proceed as per the Vicibox migration steps 4-7.
