Error Updating

[jtovar43]

When I try to install the updated version I get a fatal error in the middle of the installation script but then the install seems to proceed as normal but when I check the web root no files were written by the installer.

Just out of curiosity... How are you updating?

Are you running sudo php /var/www/html/setup/update.php

Or whatever your webroot path is?

I only ask because I don't even see a lot of the output you have posted in the update.php file. Unless it's been modified since you initially installed.

[jtovar43]

No i’m following the instructions that came up when I clicked on “update available” on the PiPass block page. Even when I try to reinstall it I get the same error.

[JoeSchubert]

Right. I just took a look and the instructions there. It looks like they're basically just having you reinstall each time.

In step 2, you'll need to do

sudo rm -r blockpage .git && sudo rm index.php config.php

For it to stop failing. The .git directory is still present, so you can't just checkout new stuff into there like it's trying to do.

This will need to fixed/worked on.

[jtovar43]

Where is the .git directory located? because I can’t find it anywhere.

[JoeSchubert]

It's a hidden directory. It'll be in you webroot, which is why modifying the second command as described would work

If you ssh in, go to your webroot (probably /var/www/html ) and do ls -la you'll see it.

[jtovar43]

I didn't find that directory but I restarted my system ran it again and it still gave me that error along with other text that I didn't really understand but it did actually write the files to the web root this time so I was able to get it back up and running.

@jtovar43 Is it working now?

[jtovar43]

Yes it is working.
