update from 1.35.1 to 1.36 failed

Dear Dir,

I use "update directadmin" (in http://my.domain.com:2222/CMD_LICENSE?update=program) to update my directadmin from 1.35.1 to 1.36, but failed. Could you please give me some advice? Thank you very much.

And I get *** An error has occurred while trying to update the software ***

Dear Sir,

I have tried the guide you mentioned abovem, but still the same (failed again ). Could you please give me some advice? Thank you.

Did you try everything in the guide? The last line in the guide says to contact DirectAdmin staff; you can do that here.

Jeff

why not just use custombuild to update directadmin

$ cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
$ ./build update
$ ./build update_versions

Doesn't that only update the third party software?

User Peter Laws is correct. CustomBuild does NOT update DirectAdmin.

Jeff

I upgraded 2 servers without problem using custombuild.

# cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
# ./build update
# ./build update_da

But as Peter Laws and I have both mentioned, you updated everything except the DirectAdmin system itself, which is NOT updated by CustomBuild.

Jeff

Hey,

Ummmm.... using ./build update_da will update DirectAdmin...

I recently used CustomBuild ver. 1.1.19 to update DA on one of our servers...

David

Hmmm.... I didn't know that, but our point still stands unless the all inclusive build also updates DirectAdmin, and I don't think it does.
