Softaculous

Topic : Auto Upgrade and version recognition

Posted By: sactobob on August 4, 2017, 12:46 am

I'm posting in suggestions, but I think this is closer to a bug. I noticed, now that I can auto upgrade Joomla, auto upgrade fails if the DB/version of Joomla doesn't match what Softaculous thinks it is. This is of course cause by an admin doing an update from within Joomla. However, when you do a manual upgrade in Softaculous, it will come back and report the version difference and ask you if you want to update Softaculous records. Then you can proceed with an auto upgrade. I hope I'm making sense!

My suggestion, as I've never seen Softaculous incorrectly report the wrong version, is why not have the auto upgrade process first detect the current version and if it's different from its internal records update that, then proceed with the upgrade?

Hi,

Thank you for the report.

We do update the version in Softaculous records before auto upgrading but this is done only when the auto upgrades are performed by the Softaculous CRON.

I just checked this and I see we do not do it when upgrading from the admin panel. We will make the changes to update the version in Softaculous records when upgrading from admin panel as well.

For now you can update the records for all the versions that mismatch from the admin panel :

Great, thanks for the quick feedback and acknowledging a 'fix' is in the works for that, much appreciated!
