Unable to archive current installation

I get this during the upgrade process when I try and move to 5.5. Is it a simple permissions issue or should I riip out and start again?

Please see the install guide which describes how to stop the update process and start the update again.

The update process stops because directory /home/openemm could not be renamed to archive name "openemm-<version>". Maybe a former cancelled update process already created this archive. Please delete this archive or check the permissions for OpenEMM in directory /home and try again.

Same happens to me (see my other post, sorry fpr double posting).

- There is no archive directory "openemm-<version>" there
- Tried with various rights settings (user=openemm, group=openemm, gave it 755, 775 and 777), no positive effect

Was anybody able to update to 6.0? What were your settings????

In this case I recommend to back up the database and use the downloaded tarball in directory /tmp to update manually. See the install guide for details. It is usually done within a few minutes.

Some more tipps:

Since the updater runs as root:

1. Do you use SELinux? If so, please disable.

2. Check permissions for file updater:

Code: Select all

 ls -l /home/openemm/bin/updater
-rwsr-sr-x  1 root root 20114 May  7  2009 /home/openemm/bin/updater

The s permission is important!
