Upgrade not working

[pileo]

Hello

I tried to upgrade my version 5.8.5 to 5.9 but it is not working.

1) via SSH i ran the command "php command.php upgrade".
The command is executed but nothing happens. No response comes. Just nothing.

2) I tried to download the upgrade file and upload it in the admin panel, but it will not install and throw this error message: Error 500: It's not an Installation package.

Can you help me?

Thank you!

Leo

Hi Leo,

Did you check data/logs. Any errors there?

Did you ever upgrade from CLI before?

Hi pileo,

Here is an article I written for internal use (and future person that will be taking over from me if I disappear). Hopefully it might help you. My guess is that you are not in the right folder and the "command.php" file is not found. Either that or it a User access issue, you don't have the right to run any command. If you are missing those the command.php and upgrade.php then you are in the wrong place or a corrupted installation.

This article give guide on how to maintenance and step and procedure in the CRM System. Information here should be written for the public audience.

Doing a quick search here is a better article. https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/...c-ssh-commands
I'm with Hostinger and can help you if you are as well, but SSH is quite standard so I think the Tutorials/guide it is applicable to all host, including private server.

Just had the same problem upgrading to 5.9.1 , I would type php command.php upgrade and nothing happened, but it turned out to be that I was in the wrong directory !, once I realized my silly mistake, everything went smoothly following espcrm instructions.
