I’m getting a page not found error when i try to access /admin/upgrade

> Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private.

Any ideas why? Thanks

Yes. I’m logged in as administrator.  
I received an email to upgrade to the latest version 1.8.0.beta11. I’m currently on v1.7.4-dirty

You can try going to the site and then clicking on the admin page and following the upgrade link there.

Can’t see an upgrade link on the Admin page for v1.7.4  
Besides, wouldn’t it just go to /admin/upgrade ?

Did you follow the [recommended Docker-based install guide](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md)?

The `dirty` looks very suspicious 🤔

I installed my Discource instance through Bitnami, and it’s hosted on a Google Cloud Platform VM.  
I’ve tried several times to upgrade using the Bitnami instructions here; `https://docs.bitnami.com/google/apps/discourse/#how-to-upgrade-discourse`  
Without any success!

In that case, I _highly_ recommend that you…

1. take a backup,
2. follow [the official guide](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md) to set up a new and up-to-date installation and
3. restore the backup there.

We cannot support Bitnami installs here, and updating these simply seems to be broken, judging from the support requests arriving here ☹

The Docker-based installation can usually be upgraded with a few clicks in the web interface, and if things don’t work out, we’re here to help 🙂
