Upgrade successful?

[Pablo Oliva]

We just purchased the app and did a fresh install, then attempted the upgrade (https://kb.mailwizz.com/articles/upgrade-steps/), but I never saw the update wizard. When I attempt to hit the update wizard URL (I tried both http://www.yourdomain.com/backend/index.php/update and http://www.yourdomain.com/backend/index.php/update/) I get redirected to /backend/index.php/dashboard/index. I went through all the steps pretty carefully, so I'm wondering if I missed something.

@Pablo Oliva - If you did a fresh install, there is no need to upgrade. That is the reason why you get redirected to dashboard.

Thanks @twisted1919. Maybe I'm just not very smart and this is just a suggestion, but the readme file could possibly be a little clearer as in:

If you are installing...
and
If you are upgrading...

I thought we had to install and then upgrade. Not the most logical, I know, but I just didn't know what was expected.

@twisted1919 Thanks for your awesome app.
I also have an problem on upgrade from 1.3.6.2 to 1.3.6.5.
1.3.X (i forgot the version) upgrade to 1.3.6.2 was successful. but this time was failed. i have searched and followed all related post, still can't fix it . when i point to http://www.yourdomain.com/backend/index.php/update/ ,it always redirect to http://www.yourdomain.com/backend/index.php/dashboard/index.php .
I tried:
1.FlashFxp upload update.zip , then unzip and overriding the existing files. --- redirect to dashboard.
2.WinCP upload update.zip, then unzip and overriding the existing files. --- redirect to dashboard.
3.WinCP upload update folder,overriding the existing files. --- redirect to dashboard. (it takes very long time to upload)
did I missed somthing?
Thank you.

@Rocky Rocky - I get your app footer still says 1.3.6.2 ?
if so, are you absolutely sure the files get overwritten? You can check this by looking in apps/init.php and see if the MW_VERSION constant is changed to the right version. (look in file after 1.3.6.5)

 

[Rocky Rocky]

@twisted1919 Yes, the footer is 1.3.6.2 . apps/init.php MW_VERSION 1.3.6.2 as well.
I am pretty sure all files get overwritten.

 

[twisted1919]

@Rocky Rocky 0 If they wall got overwritten, then apps/init.php should have said 1.3.6.5. maybe you're uploading wrong version?

 

[Rocky Rocky]

Hi @twisted1919 , the update/apps/init.php is 1.3.6.5 . upload it again and use unzip -o update.zip still redirect to dashboard.

 

[twisted1919]

@Rocky Rocky - the update/apps/init.php saying 1.3.6.5 is perfectly valid since those are the update files... The idea is to check the apps/init.php file after you override the files from the server with yours.
From what i see in your above comment, you simply unzipped the update archive creating a update folder?
If so, this is not correct, you simply have to take the files from the update folder and copy them over your existing mailwizz files from the server.

 

[Rocky Rocky]

No,it's not creating a update folder, it's overwritten, but maybe i made some mistake on the shell command.
but finally, upgrade successfully with your help, thank you @twisted1919
