Hi,

Firstly, thanks to all who contribute to this project. It is a great application that keeps my data for me and those I choose to share it with!!

Just done an Auto Upgrade from 26.0.1.1 to 26.0.3.2 and it failed at Deleting Old Files and displays Update in process on the Index page. Now I am in the area where I am ā€˜dangerousā€™ - I know just about enough to get myself into BIG trouble!!

I have managed to glean this seemingly relevant bit from the update log

My question is ā€˜How best to recover this?ā€™

TIA,

What happened to that file?

You could replace it.

Thank you for the prompt reply, much appreciated!

I have no idea what happened to that file, I Auto upgraded from 25.0.6.1 to 26.0.1.1 and then went to update to 26.0.3.2 and this error showed itself. I havenā€™t accessed any of the Nextcloud directories/files between updates.

I can see in my update folder 25.0.6.1, there is a shipped.json file, but there was not one in the backup of 26.0.1.1.

I have downloaded version 26.0.1 of Nextcloud from Github source files and now have a copy of shipped,json and added to the backup files.

But how do I get the Update in process to clear so that I can continue/start again?

Will I need to revert to a manual update?
Will that pick up the Update in process message and stall?

Sorry for all of the questions, but I am out of my depth here. Any help is much appreciated.

I guess that it wil not help much in the backup directory, it should be in the server tree, so you should copy it there on its place. (As your webserver user!)

Simply run on the console with this command:

sudo -u www-data php -f /path/to/nextcloud/updater/updater.phar

and if it complains about steps, simply delete your .step.* files in data/update-<instanceid> and try again.

Hi @ernolf,

I am having trouble finding the Nextcloud Installation in my ISPConfig3 setup. I am currently exploring and can only find the /core directory in my backups. Continuing to search Forum and learning about the Nextcloud install etc.

I have a feeling I might just do a Restore to 26.0.0.1. However, I would like to just delay taking that action for a short while, just so I can learn a bit more!!

Thanking you for your help. I will report back here any findings.

Best wishes,
Colin

When I couldnā€™t find the /core directory, I decided that it might be better for a clean install and so that is what I did.

The new install shows many more directories and more files in the web folder and so I think my choice was probably correct (for me).

Thank you for your help!
