Update can't really end

🚧 Installation
1

I am updating from 19 to 26. I’m doing so from one major version to the next. The last applied is 22.2.10.

My method is

  • Copying all files via FTP.
  • Opening NextCloud webpage.
  • Clicking on update/upgrade.

For this major update, it says it is ended, but when navigating back to NextCloud webpage, I am getting the same “have to update” message.

I tried to connect via SSH to execute "./occ upgrade" that ended successfully, but still the same page asking me to update.

EDIT #1

I added debug info in OC_Util->needUpgrade and I can tell those applications return they need to be upgraded (as stated by the upgrade page).

  • Federated file sharing (federatedfilesharing)
  • Federation (federation)
  • File sharing (files_sharing)
  • Deleted files (files_trashbin)

I assume you’re upgrading PHP as you go along? That’s quite a jump in releases! The PHP versions required by those NC versions are all very different and also very important.

You may want to try a command line based run of the updater too: Upgrade via built-in updater — Nextcloud latest Administration Manual latest documentation

If still stuck, also provide the output of ./occ upgrade.

I am on a shared hosting, but I can adjust my PHP version. Which I am doing.

Before this morning, I never needed to connect via SSH and I discovered it was disabled. Connected, I can now try the command line version of the updater and not the web one. Because I tried using it, and it fails at creating a backup.

I am currently running it and it is upgrading to 23.0.12. Right now, still in the “create backup” step.

EDIT:
It failed at the same step: 3 - creating backup. (Running the command line upgrader)

./occ upgrade

The current PHP memory limit is below the recommended value of 512MB.
Nextcloud or one of the apps require upgrade - only a limited number of commands are available
You may use your browser or the occ upgrade command to do the upgrade

@jtr Using the command line updater, I got missing memory in error_log file. I changed my PHP settings to have 512MB per script. It passed. Now I am at 23.X.X.X. Next!

Thank you!
