Updating - What Am I Doing Wrong?


bins

Question

I have uploaded the Blesta folder to my server and extracted the new files to my installation directory - /admin/upgrade does nothing!

There isn't an upgrade folder or upgrade.php anywhere!

 

Help!

There's not suppose to be a physical directory. What do you mean exactly that it does nothing? Do you normally access your admin area at domain.com/admin/? If so, then /admin/upgrade is the correct path. If you are able to login to the admin area, check the version in the footer. If it doesn't show the new version, then you did not overwrite the files in the right location.

Sorry, I uploaded the compressed file to my root and uncompressed it, but it was all put into a new 'blesta' folder, so nothing was over written.

 

Would it be an idea to compress the Blesta files to a top folder, rather than to a folder called 'blesta'?  I am sure old pro's know to think about this, but noobs like me might overlook this!

Not in our distribution no, since there are directories included that must go above your document root. If you want to unzip on the server, it's better to unzip in a temp directory, then copy the files to the correct location

cp -Rf /path/to/temp/blesta/* /path/to/installation/

Of course, backup your files and database first anytime you upgrade.
