Upgrade from v6-beta-15 to 6.0.1

[Fodder]

Hi everyone,

 

Ok, so the 'upgrade button' in plugins is not working. so a manual process is required.

 

• download 6.0.1 and unzip.
  
• take backup of working v6beat15
  

 

then what files are needed for this type of upgrade?

 

is it just the ' bzimage' file i need to copy over from the downloaded 6.0.1 to the USB ?

No -the upgrade to v6 is not that simple as you have to also handle the fact that any 32-bit plugins or extras you may be using with v5 will not work with v6.

 

There is a comprehensive upgrade guide based on user experiences that should cover any questions you may have and help guide you through the process.

The guide still contains useful information 

 

Have you tried going to the Plugins tab and doing a "Check for Updates".  I think I remember that option being available in beta 15 for updating the OS via the GUI.  If not then copying across bzroot/bzimage should work.

You can definitely upgrade from version v6b15 to v6.0.1 by using the built-in upgrade feature,  as explained by itimpi.

Hi All,

 

thanks for the replys, but as i said (but did not expand on) the upgrade feature in V6-beta-15 does not work for me.

I have tried several time to use the upgrade button, both with and without teh dockers running to no avail.

 

I have take syslogs before, after the upgrade is complete and the after reboot and scanned them with no luck. although i am not an expert mind.

 

so manual upgrade it is.

 

bonienl, & itimpi thanks for the Tip, i read that guide seve3ral times when upgrading from V5(beta something or other) to V6. I was able to upgrade with out incident, awesome work on that guide!.

 

but in this case i will just copy the bzroot/bzimage and see how i go.
