Hi! TL;DR https://doc.owncloud.org/server/9.0/admin_manual/maintenance/package_upgrade.html#upgrading-across-skipped-releases Please start with getting - the version before dist upgrade: grep version /var/www/owncloud/config/config.php - our current version: #grep VersionString /var/www/ownclou

Thanks. That would work if there were no package dependencies. Ubuntu 16.04 has php7 while OC 8.2 needs php5. So I'm stuck. There is a private repo from Ondrej to install php5.6 in Ubuntu 16.04, but it still does not work (php5.6 != php5). This is extremely time consuming, so I have to be pr

Hi, as written by Victor you can do the manual upgrades like described in the documentation up to your current version. There you won't have any dependency issues. -- View this message in context: http://owncloud.10557.n7.nabble.com/locked-in-limbo-after-distro-upgrade-tp17624p17627.html Sent

Hi. I cannot install the old version because it depends on php5. Ubuntu does not have php5. Therefore I cannot upgrade a single step. On 2 Sep 2016 09:23, "Chris" wrote: Hi, as written by Victor you can do the manual upgrades like described in the documentation up to your current version. There

Please re-read my post above. If you do the manual upgrade (see doc.owncloud.org) you won't have the dependency issue. -- View this message in context: http://owncloud.10557.n7.nabble.com/locked-in-limbo-after-distro-upgrade-tp17624p17630.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.

I have removed /var/www/owncloud so the possibility of an upgrade is lost. My fault. However, I don't think your instructions work. For instance, in https://doc.owncloud.org/server/9.0/admin_manual/maintenance/manual_upgrade.html when you run step 10 (sudo -u apache php occ upgrade) you will g

Hi, i still think that you don't get the point here. Just: 1. Remove all files and folders except /data/ and /config/ from /var/www/owncloud 2. Download the current version of your branch (e.g. 8.2.7) from https://owncloud.org/changelog/ 3. Extract the content of the archive to /var/www/owncloud

I have installed the latest version and it seems to be working correctly. I backed up all files and moved them in from the backup copy into the new OC installation directory. Syncing with the local copy took some time but it seems OK now. Notwithstanding, I tried to get 8.2.7 and test if occ w

The best solution is to not upgrade your distribution before upgrading owncloud. There are bigger problems with distro upgrades if you use the PostgreSQL backend, for instance. Distro upgrades of servers need to be planned with all contingencies. Better is to install the new distro version on a
