Cannot update system because routes-v7.php is not writable

Describe the bug

Unable to perform update because routes-v7.php is not available. I have attempted to update via the web gui, Windows App and Mac App

Steps To Reproduce

Click update button enter password. Failure

Expected Behaviour

I can update?

Additional context

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/invoice-ninja has been run several times

I’ve attempted an artisan migrate. But after refreshing i’m then presenting with the setup page. I enter all the previous details and i’m prompt to create a company with all my previous entries gone. I’ve resolved that with a snapshot rollback.

Hi,

There’s info on permissions here:

If that doesn’t help you can manually copy over the latest release tar.

Hi Hillel,

Sorry if i’m being silly but is there instructions on how to manually update with the tar anywhere?

Thanks

You’ll need to comment out the lines in 2023_12_10_110951_inbound_mail_parsing which have already run and then rerun php artisan migrate
