I have 4 machines which need upgrading - two are on 6.3.2 and two are on 6.3.5

None are running anything but the basic unRAID drive array - no dockers or VMs.

No plugins other than the Dynamix webGui 2017.02.16 (6.3.2) and 2017.05.26 (6.3.5).

 

Tried following these instructions for v 6.3.x upgrade: https://wiki.unraid.net/Manual/Upgrade_Instructions

 

Under Plugins, when I [Check for Updates] it finds an update to 6.3.5

 

Unfortunately, when I try to [update] it tells me:

 

plugin: updating: unRAIDServer.plg
plugin: downloading: https://s3.amazonaws.com/dnld.lime-technology.com/stable/unRAIDServer-6.5.3-x86_64.zip ... failed (Invalid URL / Server error response)
plugin: wget: https://s3.amazonaws.com/dnld.lime-technology.com/stable/unRAIDServer-6.5.3-x86_64.zip download failure (Invalid URL / Server error response)

 

That update file is no longer on S3 🤨

 

 

So I figure I need to upgrade manually - probably to a later version?

 

Then I see this guidance:  https://unraid.net/blog/6-11-1

 

So I decide I should run the Update Assistant - and I go to Tools to find it - except there is no update assistant!  🤔

 

 

So then it says I need to install the Fix Common Problems plugin.

 

And I read this article: 

 

 

Which tells me to go to the Apps tab and search for Fix Common Problems

 

Except that I don't have an Apps tab! 😟

 

I have: Dashboard / Main / Shares / Users / Settings / Plugins / Tools

 

 

And at this point I am forced to admit defeat. Any idea what I need to do to get to the point where I can actually upgrade unRAID OS?

Apps and FCP are only compatible with 6.9.0+

 

The URL you're trying to use is ancient and outdated.

 

Download the zip file from https://unraid.net/download

 

Make a backup of your flash drive

 

Extract all of the bz* files from the archive and put them onto the root of the flash

 

Turn your server back on

For reference the current instructions for manual upgrades are here in the online documentation accessible via the ‘Manual’ link at the bottom of the GUI or the DOCS link at the top of each forum page.

Many thanks - made a backup of the USB drive before copying over the bz* files (including the .SHA256 files - which it actually requires) as recommended, and re-booted. As simple as that. Worked like a charm.
