Update Problem from 31.0.1 to 31.0.2 (Delete old files)

[Crale]

Hi,

first thing first: i´m bloody new to all the nextcloud/linux/raspberrypi stuff.
I would appreciate if you could please tell me in simple ways what i have to do, thanks <3

I tried to update my nextcloud installation via the web installer and got this msg:

After that i searched the web and did find/execute this command via putty:

sudo -u www-data php -f /var/www/html/updater/updater.phar

I really have no idea how to handle with that core/shipped.json…

This is my configuration on a Raspberrypi5:

• Nextcloud Server version (e.g., 29.x.x):
  • 31.0.1
• Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04):
  • Raspberrypi Bookworm 12
• Web server and version (e.g, Apache 2.4.25):
  • Apache 2

If you need further information please tell me.
Thanks alot for support <3

Delete old files core/shipped.json is not available

root@raspberrypi:/var/www/# sudo su - www-data This account is currently not available. How can I make this account available?

it should work similar to the old solution … download the actual *.tar.gz or *.zip of the nextcloud anbd copy over the missing json file into the /core folder.
Before you re-start the upgrade process again, be sure that all files in place are in ownership of your www-user!

Thanks for the help!

I did this and restartet the update. But now i get the next message:

[ ] Delete old files ...PHP Warning:  unlink(/var/www/html/updater/../ocm-provider/index.php): Permission denied in phar:///var/www/html/updater/updater.phar/lib/Updater.php on line 908
[✘] Delete old files failed
Could not unlink: /var/www/html/updater/../ocm-provider/index.php

Edit A) i did find this:

Checking the permissions of the Nextcloud root

so i used:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html

and got back to:

needed to make the core directory with the json file again, again set the rights. than it worked finaly.

I got the same error on an upgrade from 21.0.3 tot 21.0.4. I copied recreated the folder ‘core’ and copied shipped.json and signature.json from a backup into the folder. Don’t forget to check ‘www-data’ ownership… Then a ‘retry upgrade’ finished without further issues.

Glad you found a workaround.

To find out what originally happened you’ll need to check your updater.log from the original web-based run of the Updater.
