Update to version 5.2.11 fails

[AngryWarrior]

I’ve been attempting to update:

But it fails with the not very helpful message:

Here is the laravel.log:
https://pastebin.com/J1jqZU4V

I cannot see anything related to the attempt to update today (12-07-2021).

Thanks in advance for the help…

Kind regards

It could be a file/folder permissions issue

@david do you have any suggestions to debug this?

[david]

pastebin is timing out for me.

@AngryWarrior

here is the culprit

 production.ERROR: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect

You’ll need to enable open_basedir

Hi @david
Thank you for your reply.

@david

pastebin is timing out for me.

It working fine now. Not sure what was wrong with the pastebin…

@david

here is the culprit

** ** production.ERROR: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect** **

You’ll need to enable open_basedir

That is why I made this thread here about making a custom php file to override the mainphp.ini here:

Php.ini file location?

Adding the custom php.ini to the root folder doesn’t seem to have much effect on the system. Should it be placed in the public folder or somewhere else instead than the root to work? (We’re using Apache by the way). The reason we are doing this is that invoice Ninja is reporting that the open_basedir isn’t set. open_basedir = ${open_basedir} ":path-to-public_html" in custom php.ini file… Thanks in advance. Kind regards

Because I wanted to attempt to open/configure open_basedir.
But I had no success with it.

How do I do this correctly?

Thanks in advance.
Kind regards

Hi @david

[2021-07-22 13:17:54] production.ERROR: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect. **File(/tmp/) is not within the allowed path(s):** (/home/www/) {"userId":1,"exception":"[object] (ErrorException(code: 0): file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/www/accnt.tennonetworks.net/) at /home/www/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Filesystem/Filesystem.php:28)

What “File(/tmp/” is the system/Invoice Ninja talking about?

The system won’t let me update intil this has been resolved.

Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Daniel

@AngryWarrior

The system downloads the update package an attempts to download and unpack the file in /tmp

it is this directory it cannot access… It seems your system is locking you into /home/www

@david

It seems your system is locking you into /home/www

Thanks for your reply David.

Indeed.
But where is that “temp” folder located?

Kind regards
AngryWarrior.

[david]

/tmp is in the root of the file system.

[AngryWarrior]

Thank you very much David.

Kind regards

Hello, is it possible to define the path of the /tmp folder in .env? I’m having Problems with auto-updating

[2021-12-20 16:34:15] production.ERROR: Unable to open “/tmp/v5.3.39.zip” using mode “w+”: fopen(/tmp/v5.3.39.zip): Failed to open stream: Permission denied {“userId”:1,“exception”:"[object] (RuntimeException(code: 0): Unable to open “/tmp/v5.3.39.zip” using mode “w+”: fopen(/tmp/v5.3.39.zip): Failed to open stream: Permission denied at /kunden/xxx_xxx/webseiten/invoice-ninja/vendor/guzzlehttp/psr7/src/Utils.php:357)

[gottschild]

I created a tmp folder /invoice-ninja/tmp and changed the path in /config/self-update.php:

‘download_path’ => env(‘SELF_UPDATER_DOWNLOAD_PATH’, ‘/kunden/xxx_xxx/webseiten/invoice-ninja/tmp’),

‘download_path’ => env(‘SELF_UPDATER_DOWNLOAD_PATH’, ‘/kunden/xxx_xxx/webseiten/invoice-ninja/tmp’),

After running php artisan optimize the auto-update worked

Would it be possible to add a var in .env to make the path-change permanent?

[david]

@gottschild

SELF_UPDATER_DOWNLOAD_PATH

@gottschild

Thanks for reporting this back, i believe you would just use

SELF_UPDATER_DOWNLOAD_PATH="/path"

in your .env and that will be sufficient.
