Omeka S 3.2.3 on Installatron

[rmiessle]

When will the Omeka S version on Installation be updated to 3.2.3? It’s currently on 3.2 which is 7 months out.

The Omeka S Item Importer module requires a minimum of 3.2.1.

The Omeka S installer is a custom installer that we maintain, and we typically aren’t able to update the installer for every single release. If you need to upgrade to 3.2.1 or 3.2.3 I would follow the manual upgrade procedure for Omeka S. They have this documented here:

https://omeka.org/s/docs/user-manual/install/#updating

Three attempts later, 500 internal server error each time.

Any reason why an error_log file isn’t being generated for these 500 errors? I’ve checked everything I can think of (db user persmissions, database.ini, .htaccess, file/folder permissions, but see no difference between 3.2 installed by installatron and the manual installations I’ve done of 3.2.0 - 3.2.3. Without some sort of verbose error I’m stumped.

UGH. finally was able to ssh into the thing and find it. had to change the permissions of all the files in the root directory to 644.

Looks like you got it figured out before I finished drafting my response!

For anyone else that runs into this:

I just did the upgrade myself, and afterwards I had to fix the permissions in the folder for Omeka S. It seems it is likely you will need to do this too. cPanel is very picky on the permissions of files and folders.

You can use the terminal in the cPanel or SSH, then change the directory to the folder where Omeka S is installed. In my case, I did the upgrade on an install at https://demo.jadin.me/omeka-s

cd demo.jadin.me/omeka-s

You can then run these two commands to fix the permissions of files and folders:

find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
