charles

@ViolentCrumble I'll be testing it and will let you know what works so you can also try.

charles

tried commands below and works for me. Now logged in and version showing v1.0.2

git checkout v1.x.x
git pull
./nodebb upgrade

ViolentCrumble

@charles Not sure what i am doing wrong, but this happens

@ViolentCrumble I was confused with commands too.

just use git checkout v1.x.x exactly as shown. do not add any numbers. after that you can use the other commands shown in my previous reply.

ViolentCrumble

@charles ok still no go. This time i used "" git checkout v1.x.x"

Is it normal that it says "Aborted" like that?

but i continued regardless

@ViolentCrumble use ./nodebb restart and then check the version again

ViolentCrumble

@charles Whelp, now it's showing 1.0.0 and isn't showing any stats

@ViolentCrumble that is strange that you have v1.0.3-auto.0 listed

when I try git checkout v1.x.x I get
Already on 'v1.x.x'
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/v1.x.x'.

@charles I think i might have broken something when i was attempting to backup my forums using git...

When i type git remote -v

i get my own personal git directory. i think i done and gone broken something

ViolentCrumble

@charles ANy ideas how to fix this?

What do you get if you type git remote -v

charles

@ViolentCrumble

origin https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git (push)

ViolentCrumble

@charles ok removed old origin and set new origin. now it shows correctly but now it doesnt work still

@ViolentCrumble that happened to me the last two updates. Restarted the forum from ACP, refreshed the browser, went back to ACP and it updated.

Guys,

I just upgraded from 1.0.0 to latest (Control panel told me new version 1.0.1-auto0) so I did

./nodebb stop
git fetch
git reset --hard origin/v1.x.x
./nodebb upgrade #(could take up to 5 min)
./nodebb start

Now control panel tells me I'm on V1.0.2 all is fine

@Charly86 Unless you are on the "auto" tree, v1.0.2 is the latest for v1.x.x

Charly86

@rod,
thank, that's the auto tree ?

charles

@Charly86 if your dashboard shows v1.0.2 right now then you are on the latest stable release

@charles
Perfect, thanks
