Upgrade from Zentyal 6.2 to 7.0 is now available

[jrtaylor]

Still trying to upgrade a system that was installed 6.0 and upgraded to 6.2.x with no problems. I cloned the system and have attempted to upgrade to 7. After a bit I reboot and get stuff like this in the logs.

Hi,
I have two machines with zentyal 6.2 and I have the offer on the web gui to upgrade to zentyal 7.0, however the process gets stuck on preparing. On both machines I have zentyal core 6.2.3, on web gui there is 6.2.8 suggestion (it redirects to doc page), but I cannot update it even via command line.
Any idea?
Thank you

You have to upgrade to 6.2.8 before attempting to upgrade to 7.0. Make sure you have a backup or snapshot before attempting an upgrade.

Right, but I cannot do it. I was able to upgrade up to 6.2.4 as you can see https://postimg.cc/qzh702G1.

One big thing that I want to note here is that the IDS/IPS system seems to block some of the upgrade. After turning it off almost ALL my problems went away!!! The only thing I still see are these messages.

We try to upgrade from 6.2.9. As Daniel Joven suggested we run the script itself to upgrade the system by executing the command:

Code: [Select]

sudo bash -x /usr/share/zentyal/release-upgrade
Could not upload an execution output here; download link https://gofile.io/d/y16VhA
Noticeable errors start line 4842, then at line 5015

You have to upgrade to 6.2.8 before attempting to upgrade to 7.0. Make sure you have a backup or snapshot before attempting an upgrade.

Right, but I cannot do it. I was able to upgrade up to 6.2.4 as you can see https://postimg.cc/qzh702G1.

Had the same issue. Check if it is related to Expired APT (GPG) Key (webmaster's msg)

It worked, thank you. Now I installed the version 6.2.9 and I can upgrade to 7.0.x.

I have two Zentyals, one upgraded fine, the other just hangs here

Try to locate the process with the command 'lslocks | grep dns', kill it 'kill -9 id_process' and then, repair the packages using 'dpkg --configure -a'.

Thanks for that, it seems to move on from kill -9 and all is upgraded now.

It seems the problem might start a few lines sooner.  It never loses network connection, so the message is sort of weird.

Hi,
I tried to upgrade one of my machines with zentyal 6.2.9, but I get these log errors https://pastebin.com/w26wUnwf.
I was able to fix the grub error, but I could not fix the others "reconfigure". I tried both dpkg --configure -a and apt-get upgrade -f.
Any idea?

Before, to upgrade my production system, I tried again via several installations of zentyal 6.2 on virtualbox 6.1. However, I cannot solve my issue. I also tried to follow this https://forum.zentyal.org/index.php?topic=34454.0.

• original: without any further package or software. Only one time it worked without any error.
• original+kernel hwe: same error.
• original+apache+php: same error.

Could it be a problem of virtual box? Do you have any hint?

I finally managed to upgrade the server and I solved the various problems. Now zentyal 7.0.4 boots into command line version, I can move to GUI via CTRL+ALT+F7. Is there a way to change the default boot mode?
Thank you

Hi!

Somebody done with a zentyal upgrade smoothly?

Because my system is showing the upgrade is available... :-)

I wish to avoid a system crash.... :-)

I had the same, solution was to deinstall IPS before upgrading to 7.
