Can't upgrade to 5.6 through Dashboard
Permalink
I recently noticed on the Concrete5 site that 5.6 was released. I am running 5.5.2.1.
When I go through Backup & Restore >> Update concrete5 >> Check For Updates, nothing happens.
I was assuming that concrete5 would update to the latest version through this process.
Is their something I am missing? I would prefer not to do a manual update to 5.6, the process seems a bit complicated.
Any recommendations on my install would not be auto updating would be greatly appreciated. (I hope it is not related to running concrete5 on IIS 7.0. I am not able to auto update my add-ons, and if I can't auto update C5 itself, might need a different ISP)
Here is my environment information:
Thanks in advance for your time . . .

Thanks frz for the quick response. I look forward to updating to the latest version.
Just fyi I wouldn't upgrade a production site to 5.6 unless you really know what you are doing.
Per the concrete team advice, I manually upgraded a test site and it got wracked. Probably due to some theme or addon conflicts. I did Post the error message and yet to get a response.
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 19456 bytes) in /DataDisk/Disk01/shares/cms5/updates/concrete5.6.0/concrete/themes/default/elements/header.php on line 53
Any help would be appreciated

Hello EXblue,
I am going to hold off until the auto updater is ready to roll.
And I will definitely backup my site and database before running the updater.
Sorry to hear about the manual upgrade not going well. I appreciate the advice.

Hi and thanks for a brilliant piece of software!
Is there a date set for the auto-update release?
I still see the following i the Dashboard.
Currently Running 5.5.2.1
No updates available.

I'm hosting it on my own VPS in Sweden.
I've recently purchased and installed themes & plugins through the dashboard. Do you use different servers/nets for update / themes?
I've attached my environment

Sorry to bother you.. my mistake. I had forgot to install the curl extension for php. I still puzzles me though, how I managed to get the purchased stuff to the server...
So I'm a bit confused. When I click "Update Concrete5" in the "System & Settings" page of the Dashboard, it takes me to a "Download Update" page. The only option is to download.
is this a re-install or an upgrade?
Do I just Unzip this over my current install?
I don't want to muck things up.
Thanks!

Oh never mind. For some reason, the "Upgrade" button suddenly appeared. Go figure.The upgrade completed without issue (so far.)
That will happen early next week after the 5.6 press release hits the wire.
