Can't Find Update Button

Post by asai »

Can anyone help me find the update button for OpenEMM 5.5.0? I go to the Settings section (as Administrator with full permissions), but all I can see is

Edit profile fields
Blacklist
Forms of salutation
User
Bounce-Filters

If you use the Windows version of OpenEMM or a version before 5.4, an online update is not available.

missing permission

The update permission seems to be missing from your account. Start mysql as user root and execute

Code: Select all

insert into admin_group_permission_tbl (admin_group_id, security_token) values (4, 'update.show');

Menu Settings, submenu Update.

Please check in settings -> user the rights of your administrator account. You should see a permission called "Display online update" in the section "General".

If not, then your database is (for whatever reason) not up to date.

Ok, I'm not seeing that. My DB must be out of date. Can I simply run the SQL update script which comes with 5.5.0?

It depends on at which version you stopped running the sql update scripts. Since every update script adds tables, fields or values to the OpenEMM database you should check if a table, field or value already exists in your database - if not, run the script.

Ok, I'll check, but what's weird is, I thought I had done this with every new install.

For whatever reason, it's still not working for me. I've updated the database thoroughly. Still not working. I don't see any update or upgrade buttons.

I just clicked on "Settings" > "Update" and it all worked perfectly --- on Red Hat

Crazy, cause I just upgraded to 5.5.1 and I still don't see anywhere under Settings an Upgrade button. I'm on CentOS.
