cPAddon Scripts manager doesn't find previous installs?

[stormy]

I've just discovered the new cPAddon Scripts manager. However, it lists no installs at all - is this normal? It should find all previous installs so they can be updated when needed.

If you are using X skin you can login as a client and go to the new cpaddons section you should see a link that says if you want to upgrade your old installs. This can only done within the client panel as far as I am aware at this time.

I hope that helps

Thanks

I haven't found a way to upgrade old installs even from the customer's Cpanel. Any idea?

Oops - I found the link, thanks!

Next problem: after converting to the new Addon format, the upgrade to phpBB 2.0.21 fails

You can do it a user at a time as root:

/scripts/oldaddoncgi2cpaddon username

I am trying to upgrade all of my old addons to the new addon model. Some of them work fine using the methods in this thread but I am getting this when I try and update phpBB.


Starting phpBB ...
Skipping forum since its not version 2.0.19
./.addonscgi-phpBB not removed since there was some installs that did not get fixed up right. at /scripts/oldaddoncgi2cpaddon line 129.

If I can't convert them to the new model I cannot update them it seems. Any suggestions? Is this a bug that I should submit? I have a about 50 or so forums to update and I do not feel that removing all the old ones and reloading them is a viable solution. All help is greatly appreciated.

You have to upgrade thhem to the latest version of the deprecated system first using WHM > Addons > Addon Script Manager. Then you should be able to convert them to cPAddons and then upgrade them to the latest version that that supports.

Thanks! I have already tried doing what you suggested to no avail. See the screenshots to show you where I am grinding to a halt. It has the current version as 2.0.17 and not 2.0.19. Any suggestions on how I can make the old deprecated system upgrade it's installer to version 2.0.19. I tried WHM -> Cpanel -> Addon Scripts (Deprecated) to no avail. It shows 2.0.19 as the current version but it does not seem to be updating it. Is there something in the /scripts folder I can run to force this to update?

I've had a similar problem on all but EDGE builds, actually. Looks like a bug in cPAddons, which is a pain.

The solution I found was to uninstall the phpBB addon in WHM -> Cpanel -> Addon Scripts (Deprecated) and then reinstall it. Once I did this I had the correct version and was able to upgrade them all to the new cpaddons module.
