To update WCS 5.0 on your server to WCS 5.1, you have to do the following steps:

1. Download WebCallServer installation package from there, for example:

wget https://flashphoner.com/downloads/builds/WCS/5.1/FlashphonerWebCallServer-5.1.3375.tar.gz

2. Unpack the package

tar -xvzf FlashphonerWebCallServer-5.1.3375.tar.gz

3. Stop WCS

service webcallserver stop

4. Launch update script

cd FlashphonerWebCallServer-5.1.3375/server/tools
./update.sh

The script updates settings files (for example, it merges legacy server.properties file with main settings file flashphoner.properties) and WCS database:

5. Launch WCS 5.1 installation script

cd ../..
./install.sh

6. When the installation script finishes, update the service startup information

systemctl daemon-reload

7. Start WCS

service webcallserver start

Check how server works by this instruction.
