Updating eduTrac SIS

[Teja MajetyModeratorTopics: 12Replies: 204Total Posts: 216]

Thanks @Parker that worked like a charm, thanks a lot.

As you said the command line feature may upset some people, but I think at least for installation part the people should give the job to techies, and I hope they will love it.

Who doesn’t love the feature, which makes things easy….and I don’t think it’s too much complicated, maybe with proper notes/commands to follow anyone can  perform basic installation/update.

With regards to automatic core updates, the reason they might not work is that etSIS doesn’t have permission to create new directories. So if new libraries are added, the system can’t create the new directories to house those libraries, so manual upgrade is needed.

However, update checking and upgrades will be available via command line as well in the upcoming release.

I am glad that you like the command line feature. Now, moving to command line will probably upset some people. Also, it will turn away potential users who are not administrators or techies. But others have been turned away more because they were unable to install the system via the browser. Either because of timeout issues or functions loaded due to the way their server is setup. Also, moving some of the work etSIS does to background processes will make it a better system overtime.

Also, overtime users will have a better experience with installation and the way the system runs. Theses changes are not made off the cuff. Lots of research is done as well as weighing the pros and cons.

Nevertheless, regular users can install r6.2.9, do manual upgrades from there, and database upgrades are coming back, so they are not completely left out in the cold. All of this should probably be in a blog post for general population though and linked it to the command line article.

At the moment, there is no automatic way to turn off checking, but you could setup a cronjob to remove the old core-update files from the log.

Yes, so I am assuming the php module memcache is being loaded twice. I found this article with regards to the issue. It may or may not be able to help you figure out your issue.

Yes, I am getting the same error. But as far as I remember this didn’t generate when I last checked PHP version a few months back.

Though recently I installed Memcache.

I think I may know what the issue is. Can you run the following command in your terminal and tell me if you get the same error message?

php -v

Hi,

The command line interface is really good and I am sure it will be handy for SSH users. I updated it and it was going really well.

But for some reason I am getting PHP error with the command, I mean the result/output of the command is fine but with it, i am getting PHP error as well. Actually, it doesn’t matter if we are getting good results. But I am really curious to know the reason. I have attached the screenshot of my result. Please have a look.

One more thing to ask about one-click updates. Though it never worked for me, but it generates core-update logs daily. Is there any way to stop them or any way to workout that.

Oh, you can manually upgrade to 6.2.8 by logging in via FTP and override the old files with the new ones.

Thank you, I think it upgraded fine and it’s showing 6.2.7 in the bottom.

But I tried to replace all the files from 6.2.8 version, I think it’s ok for now i will try again with 6.2.8 later.

I just want to install hidden fields, but it’s asking for 6.2.8 version.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply, so is it the number in parentheses the current version?

like © 2013 – r6.2.0 (t6.2.6)     — the current version is 6.2.6

© 2013 – r6.2.0 (t6.2.7)       ——- the current version is 6.2.6

Is that it right..

There is no database upgrade needed, only file upgrades. If you look at the very bottom of the footer, it will tell you what release is currently installed (see screenshot for example).

Hi,

I have been trying to update Edu Trac SIS but I don’t see any change. Auto update is not working for days and it’s giving me daily some error logs. So thought of doing the manual update.

I installed 6.2.2 version in the beginning and I think it updated to 6.2.5 but after that it is giving me auto updates failed. So downloaded 6.2.8 version and extracted it and through winSCP replaced all the files.

But when I came back to SIS nothing changed, it didn’t ask me to update the database or anything it’s same as it was before replacing files. I thought it may be the big difference between updates and replaced the files with 6.2.6 and 6.2.7. in both cases, nothing happened.

So am i missing something or is it already updated but i couldn’t notice. Generally, where we can check the current version in SIS?

I really appreciate any help you can provide
