Magento update from 2.3.0 to 2.3.1 problem

Magento 2
1

Hi there, it’s been a while but here I am with yet another problem. Just yesterday I’ve tried to update Magento from 2.3.0 to 2.3.1 via web setup wizard (I believe it’s called something like that).
The whole process went rather smoothely unti the very installation during wich the console looked like this:

I also just enable cache so I can access back end without haveng to wait 10 minutes for each page to laod and it is still going. How can I make it stop (preferably by completing it)?

My experience with the Web Setup Wizard has been pretty hit and miss over the years. Which is why I only do things via the Command Line Interface these days.

Anyway, the things that tells Web Setup Wizard about the progress of an update are found in the var folder. If you run the below command from the Magento root directory as the Magento user, you will see what I mean:

ls -la

You notice some files that start with a “.” and refer to an update. I can’t remember what they are called off the top of my head. If the Upgrade never took place for whatever reason, so ahead and delete those files. They don’t contain anything, they are just “flags”. Once you’ve removed those files, you’ll be able to try and run the Web Setup Wizard again. Maybe this time it’ll go all of the way through. I would think that typically, a Web Setup Wizard upgrade should take no longer than 15 minutes.

Don’t remove any files within the root directory. You want to be checking the var folder. So, change directory to var and run ls -la. Or just run ls -la var from the Magento root directory.

5

Using ls -la as a magento user from var directory gives me this:

And the root direcorty gives me same result as from my previous post (root direcotry being /var/www/html is that correct?)

As stated, you want to check the var folder inside the Magento root directory - Not the var folder for the Operating System.

When you put “/” before a folder/file name, it makes a huge difference.

Correct Method 1 (Without “/” prefix)

Run this from the folder you’re currently working in. Useful if you don’t want to enter the full path.

drwxrwsr-x  3 magento  www-data    4096 Mar 12 10:37 composer_home

Correct Method 2

Run this from anywhere. Useful if you don’t want to cd.

magento@DS-M23v:/var/www/html$ ls -la /var/www/htm/var

That’s what I’ve got. So I presume I should delete the .update_in_progress.flag. Or all of the files connected to update? Because the maintenance mode was activated by me and I’d like to keep it this way.

8

Spot on :+1:

Remove .update_in_progress.flag and you should be good to go. The file doesn’t contain any information. It’s simply a “flag” just like the .maintenance.flag file.

Let me know how you get on. I’ll check back in later.

9

So, removing the flag worked. I’ve decided to try the web setup wizard one more time and it appears I have slightly different problem this time.
When I try to enter either front or back end I get the message:
An error has happened during application run. See exception log for details. Could not write error message to log. Please use developer mode to see the message.
I did delete the flag again as I had thought it may have been the issue but it is not. Also I’ve tried to find the solution and all I found was to comment out (not sure if it means to delete?) the # SetEnv MAGE_MODE developerfrom .htaccess file. but it didn’t do anything.

10

Did you go into Developer Mode as it suggests? In this mode, you’ll be presented with the error message directly in the browser. I wouldn’t mess with .htaccess until you check that first.

11

Hi, after a while I’m back again. I have trouble switching modes. I used command from magento official documentation:

sudo php bin/magento deploy:mode:set {developer} [-s|--skip-compilation]

I added both sudo and php as it without them it didn’t work at all. But the response i got is:

michal@seampress:/var/www/html$ sudo php bin/magento deploy:mode:set {developer}                                              [-s|--skip-compilation]
--skip-compilation]: command not found


  Too many arguments, expected arguments "command" "mode".


deploy:mode:set [-s|--skip-compilation] [--] <mode>

Sorry it’s a bit messy. I don’t really know what to do to fix this.

12

Looks like you’re taking the Documentation too literally. “{}” and “” refer to placeholder examples. Therefore, you don’t actually use it in the command. Like “My name is {name}. I live in [city]”.

Also, bin/magento commands need to be ran as the “magento” user. So, you never prefix the command with sudo. Also, you shouldn’t need to prefix your command with ‘php’ either, unless you have an old PHP setup.

If you read a little further down the Documentation, you’ll see the command would actually be:

bin/magento deploy:mode:set developer

And if you want to switch to developer mode and skip compilation then you’d use:

bin/magento deploy:mode:set developer -s

Hopefully, that helps explain the way the Documentation is written.

Change to developer mode

When you change from production to developer mode, you should clear generated classes and Object Manager entities like proxies to prevent unexpected errors. After doing so, you can change modes. Use the following steps:

  1. If you’re changing from production mode to developer mode, delete the contents of the generated/code and generated/metadata directories:
rm -rf <magento_root>/generated/metadata/* <magento_root>/generated/code/*
  1. Set the mode:
bin/magento deploy:mode:set developer

The following message displays:

Enabled developer mode.
13

The problem I got when logged as magento user is being denied permission.

magento@seampress:/var/www/html$ bin/magento deploy:mode:set developer -s
-bash: bin/magento: Permission denied

This is probably connected to all the permission issues I run into earlier when trying to install a template. So can I do this with super user or will it not work at all?

14

That definitely should not happen if everything was setup correctly. You’ll benefit from going over this post: How to diagnose and fix Ownerships and Permission issues

15

Ok, so I fixed the permission settings, apparently magento user didn’t have permission to “execute”. After changing mode to developer I see the error.

Your original post was about having problems upgrading from 2.3.0 to 2.3.1 in May. If your original post is solved, you should consider starting a new one. It’s getting a bit confusing and hard to follow.

Also, you already reported the issue with “No such file or directory” in this post: Magento backup problem

17

An update:

Yea, that’s correct. Sorry about that, I have had few breaks from doing anything and I just forgot about that. I used the tips you gave me there and Magento is working for me again.

That’s also true. This time I will try to update via CLI as the Web Setup Wizard is clearly not working for me. Also I’ve just noticed that there is even newer version, 2.3.2. Should I go for this?

Anyway, thanks so much for your help. I will try to keep thing more organised from now on. I will let you know how did the update go :slight_smile:

18

No problem. Sorry if I sound anal. This forum works best when it’s presented in a way that helps other people who stumble across the same problem, not just the Original Poster.

I’d give 2.3.2 a couple of weeks before upgrading. This way if anyone runs into any bugs with the update, it allows time for people to fix them. Don’t wait longer than a month though :+1:

19

Hi. Coming back to the thread. I’ve just finished updating Magento via CLI using your tutorial (although it was 2.2.8 to 2.3.1 I figured it should still work).
So it seemed to me that everything was just fine but when checking for new update in Web Setup Wizard it shows me I still got 2.3.0 and can update to 2.3.2.
Did I do something wrong or does it not show the current version properly?

20

Those instructions are to get from 2.2 to 2.3, which is a big upgrade requiring a lot of instructions.

The small ones are far simpler to do (e.g. 2.3.0 to 2.3.2). Just follow the steps listed in the Official Magento Documentation. It shouldn’t take much longer than 5 minutes because there aren’t many steps.

In fact I just wrote a set of simplified instructions based off the Magento Documenation I just referred to if it helps: Updating Magento 2.3.x to 2.3.x (via the CLI/Composer)
