Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted January 13, 20232 yr I'm trying to upgrade from 4.7.5 to 4.7.6 but can't get past Step 1. I just see the attached three screens over and over again. I click Continue on one and get taken to the next, then the next, then back to the first.

When I click 'Upgrade Now' in the banner at the top of the ACP the following shows up in the Console.

January 13, 20232 yr Community Expert Solution Thanks! This is a known issue which will be fixed in a upcoming release. To get past it now, you can perform a manual upgrade.

January 14, 20232 yr Gosh no, not that, I guess I will wait for the next update. Thank you so much for the link.

The issue will still be there even for the next update since it's in your current version. If you're unable to get past that step, no matter how many versions you skip/wait it won't change. Because the new files aren't downloaded at that point yet. If you're uncomfortable doing the manual upgrade yourself maybe you can get someone else to do it for you? Manual upgrades are easy enough as long as you know what you're doing. I do them often myself. Edited January 14, 20232 yr by teraßyte

January 15, 20232 yr It means the underlying issue that allowed this situation to happen will be fixed. If something is already preventing you from using the auto updater with the current version, nothing in future releases will fix the CURRENT updater other than downloading the files from your client area and uploading them to your site (aka “a manual update”).
January 15, 20232 yr Sorry? What underlying issues? The updater should be prepared for all cases, as I updated and took care of every single update in time and with much care. As for manual update, is not hard, I know, but I still getting PTSD from 3.x upgrade a year ago. I don't want anymore.

This would be a bug in the upgrader which is present in the version on your server. The only way to get past that would be to manually upgrade. This minor upgrade will be significantly more simple than the version 3 upgrade which was not only a significant, major software upgrade for you but a large server upgrade to run version 4.

My concern would be the database table changes that are apparently required to go from 4.7.5 to 4.7.6, at least based on the malfunctioning auto-updater. Is there a way to know what changes we have to make in order for the upgrade to complete successfully?

Not even sure what it was, I recall it took 3 days out of my life and not sure what happened. I installed times and times again then again, and nothing was working.

Manually upgrading is exactly the same as the auto upgrader but you’re moving the files instead of the software. Upgrading from 3.x is a huge upgrade, this is a minor upgrade so not as many changes going on.
January 15, 20232 yr I am living proof that it is possible, but still PTSD only when starting to copy files through FTP. or maybe *was* possible... not sure.
January 15, 20232 yr Think of it this way… the further behind you are on versions, the harder it is to upgrade. Moving between minor point versions are MUCH less likely to run into issues. But the further behind you are, the more likely it is you’re going to feel pain. Upgrading from 3.X to 4.X is like 100 upgrades rolled into one. It WILL be painful. However just one will be fine in 99% of cases.

January 16, 20232 yr Community Expert @dutchsnowden Try it now, you shouldn't see the warning page now. You will still need to run a manual query during the upgrade though.
January 16, 20232 yr @Stuart Silvester I can confirm it is working now, thank you so much. I stopped it so I can choose a better hour to do this for online service availability but will confirm once again when I did it and completed. Thanks again!
