Upgrade from OwnCloud 9 to NextCloud 9

Please delete everything above when creating your topic and provide the following:

Nextcloud version : 9.0.58 (stable)
Operating system and version : Debian 9 4.9.0-5-amd64
Apache or nginx version : Apache2 2.4.25-3+deb9u3
PHP version : php7

The issue you are facing:
After upgrading using the migration script there is no Upgrader Button in Admin
I suspect I need to replace upgrader/index.php after it was overwritten by
https://download.nextcloud.com/server/installer/migrator/index.php

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

Steps to replicate it:

  1. run owncloud 9
  2. use the migration script to migrate to nextcloud
  3. log in, go to Admin and look for the UPGRADE button as per NC 9 Manual
  4. no button can be found

i see other references to using nextcloud/updater/index.php
but that was the location of the migration script, did the NC 9 file get put back there?

After seeing that NextCloud 9 is no longer supported and that I only have one user of data.
I am going to make a fresh install (latest version) and import the files as per this tutorial

It will also give me nextcloud in the url :slight_smile:
Thanks

You can reinstall. The updater works good for version NC 11 and later. So the first few steps, I’d rather do a manual upgrade and then do only the last steps with the updater app.

If you don’t have tons of data in your NC, no important app data, it can be faster to set up a new Nextcloud.

Yes I did a fresh install, one user… long rsync and --scan poof all done

thanks
