I can’t find the upgrade button in the UI. It says “updates are available. Please Upgrade!”. I remember using an upgrade button somewhere before for upgrading the files, but now I can’t see it. There is no click to upgrade link. Trying to upgrade from v1.7.0.beta7+9 to 1.7.0.beta8

try yoursite.com/admin/upgrade to get to the upgrade page.

I’ve got a “There was an error upgrading..” message. Trying again from that /admin/upgrade url to see if it works.

I get: “Sorry, there was an error upgrading Discourse. Please check the logs below.” Last line says: “Bundling assets”. This is an error line I found in the log: MiniRacer::RuntimeError: Error: ‘SCRIPT’ tags are now allowed in HTMLBars templated (on line 11) Here’s the entire log: == Seed from /var/www/discourse/db/fixtures/500_lounge_category.rb == Seed from /var/www/discourse/db/fixtures/501_meta_category.rb == Seed from /var/www/discourse/db/fixtures/502_staff_category.rb == Seed from /var/www/discourse/db/fixtures/999_settings.rb == Seed from /var/www/discourse/db/fixtures/999_topics.rb *** Bundling assets.

I guess the discourse team will take it from here. On the other note, always keep a backup. Do try upgrading manually as well – SSH to your server and in the discourse directory use these commands to manually upgrade git pull and ./launcher rebuild app

I get: FAILED -------------------- Pups::ExecError: cd /var/www/discourse && su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake assets:precompile' failed with return # Location of failure: /pups/lib/pups/exec_command.rb:108:in `spawn' exec failed with the params {"cd"=>"$home", "hook"=>"bundle_exec", "cmd"=>["su discourse -c 'bundle install --deployment --verbose --without test --without development'", "su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake db:migrate'", "su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake assets:precompile'"]} 9a988e533a92c5649b6c9e634b60ad1ef08d5c9e97e06812dca1d59daa64542e ** FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP ** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one

I posted it in the wrong topic lol. @sam The upgrade is finished successfully and it was indeed that plugin. I will stay without plugins for now, just to have a piece of mind. So thanks a lot!! I wanted to ask you a question. Before the upgrade, I used the AWS AMI to backup the server. I created a new server with that AMI and when I tried to access the website, it didn’t load, any idea why. Can I count on the BACKUP procedure so in case the server is crashed for some reason, I can create a new server from scratch, install discourse and use the BACKUP and restore everything back to the previous state? Thanks in advance.

[image] Idan: Can I count on the BACKUP procedure so in case the server is crashed for some reason, I can create a new server from scratch, install discourse and use the BACKUP and restore everything back to the previous state? Yes. Before updating you can backup and then download the backup locally. If the server catches fire starting over in another is easy.

That’s excellent to know, thanks.

Where is the upgrade button

One of your plugins is bust, recommend removing all 3rd party plugins and trying again.
