Updating from 0.1.0-beta.3: how do I?

Dakoom

I currently have 0.1.0-beta.3. How do I update to the latest version (v0.1.0-beta.5)?

Kakifrucht

Are you sure that you are on beta3? Beta4 shows up as beta3 in control panel.

Otherwise a full reinstall might be the best choice.

Dakoom

Umh, where do I see if it's actually a beta3 or a beta4?

datitisev

Dakoom Execute php flarum info in the Flarum root (I think that's what you have to do).

If it doesn't work, execute php flarum version instead.

jordanjay29

datitisev Nope, php flarum info is a Beta 5 only command. php flarum -V will show Beta 3 (since it draws from the same source that lists Beta 3 for everything).

In order to find out if you're on Beta 4, Dakoom, check vendor/flarum/core/CHANGELOG.md. You should see a listing for Beta 4. If not, you're on Beta 3.

Dakoom

Ok, it's Beta 4. Thank you guys, so I can easily follow the upgrade instructions provided in the last post by Toby.

Dakoom

Ok, I entered my folder where I have Flarum installed and I used the commands posted in the official release thread by Toby, but I get this:

Umh, and yeah, it seems to have updated anything (in the admin panel I still have Beta3).

datitisev

Dakoom Weird... Do you use Windows?

luceos

Dakoom try disabling xdebug:

php5dismod xdebug

^ Assuming you are on an ubuntu machine, if not mention @kulga ?

Dakoom

datitisev I'm on a Linux with CentOS 7.

luceos I'm gonna try that. Thank you! I'll let you know! ?

Dakoom

Umh, I disabled Xdebug and I tried again. No errors, but Flarum seems to be still at Beta 3/4 (viewing from the admin panel).

Any help is appreciated! ?

datitisev

Dakoom Could you make backup of the database, and then make a fresh install of Flarum beta5 and see if you get any errors anymore?
I would not think so...
Wait, could it be your cache? Deleted all the cache and then refresh the page.
If you choose to make a fresh install,I would imagine you could like import your backup to the new database for Flarum beta5

Kulga

Dakoom Check if your composer.json file looks like this post
If so, correct it and stop running the sed command (as modifying that file was it's purpose ?)
Place this into a file and make it exectuable (chmod +x filename)

set -xv
remove=""; require=""; for extension in akismet approval auth-facebook auth-github auth-twitter bbcode emoji english flags likes lock markdown mentions pusher sticky subscriptions suspend tags; do remove="$remove flarum/$extension"; require="$require flarum/flarum-ext-$extension=^0.1.0"; done
composer remove flarum/composer-installer $remove -q
composer require $require
composer update
php flarum migrate
rm -Rf assets/*.js assets/*.css storage/cache/* storage/formatter/* storage/views/*

and post output in its entirety surrounded by three backticks ``` (or in a pastebin) The set -xv sets bash to debug mode and will give us a lot more info. Please don't run in shell as it can be very annoying to the user (but enlightening)

Dakoom

I had CloudFlare enabled, so now that you mentioned the cache I was thinking that effectively there was a possibility that it was due to that. I disabled it, cleared also my browser cache but nothing changed, unfortunately.

About a new install and then a reimport, sincerely I would prefer to just upgrade... if possibile.

Thank you for your reply, datitisev !

luceos

Dakoom if you type php flarum now does the info option show up?

Dakoom

@Kulga having the feeling the $require variable is not getting a value.. What do you think?

Dakoom

Kulga Thank you Kulga, but please understand that I'm very at the beginning when we talk about SSH commands and stuff like that. I don't understand the second part of your post. So, first I have to check that my file composer.json is like yours (and currently mine is a little bit different). In my case I should be okay copying your file content and paste it to my file and then save. Correct me if I'm wrong. Then I have to run those commands via SSH... right?

Kakifrucht

I would recommend just reinstalling from scratch.

jordanjay29

Kakifrucht I don't think that's prudent at this point. Let's let OP follow Kulga's advice first and see what the results are.

Kakifrucht

jordanjay29 Yes of course, just saying that a reinstall might be faster than trying to pinpoint the issue much further.
