[1.7.6] Updater requires CURL

[jonb]

I changed the && to || but am still seeing the error:

Code: Select all

Checking for tar...
Could not run tar executable (RC=1).


Any ideas?

Could be this: https://github.com/gothfox/Tiny-Tiny-RS ... 04b42ccefa

Unless you try to run it on windows or something.

Thanks. That worked and the update ran. However, it didn't save my cgi-bin directory and .htaccess file. I needed to copy them over from the backed-up version. I need those to remain in order to run PHP 5.3 on my shared server. Perhaps you can have these remain in place for future updates?

The updater only copies tt-rss stuff, it notifies you to copy any other customized data you might have. Trying to guess what might be useful or not is not worth the trouble, I think.

[jonb]

What if there was the option to leave in place anything that wasn't a part of the previous ttRSS distribution?

What if there was a pony with a pizza dispenser.

What if we wouldn't increase updater complexity significantly because people are inattentive and refuse to read.

So many questions, so little time.

LMAO... to funny...

It's not a matter of refusing to read; I knew what to do to fix the problem; I just don't want to do it every time I update. I guess the real answer, in my case, is that installing to the root directory of the subdomain was a bad idea.

But then, I think a pony with a pizza dispenser is also an excellent idea.

That's basically the only way I'm seeing to make updating sufficiently reliable without being overly complex. Parent required to be writable is mentioned by both the updater and installation guide.

Nobody is stopping you or anyone else from writing a better updater plugin btw. With blackjack and binary diffs.

I have "Error while extracting tarball (RC=2)." error message also. I can't upgrade the 1.7.5 to 1.7.8 version.

The php5-curl installed. The Lighttpd service restarted (I don't use Apache).

How can I go on? Can anyone help with this? Thank you for your help!

This has been discussed before. You need to search the forums.
