Can i upgrade from owncloud 10.0.4 to 10.0.10 directly. i get a message on centos 6.10

That is fixed but still i am unable to upgrade

You have done something terribly wrong. Unfortunately I cannot help here, due to the lack of information.

I just upgraded from 9 to 10.0.10 on Cento7 (running Virtualmin) but it wasn’t easy.
First I had to ensure that I had upgraded my php as I was only running 5.4 (now I’m at 7.2)
I was missing zip and intl after my php upgrade so I finally got those installed.
Then I had to ensure that the folders in owncloud were owned by apache:apache (Apps, Data [mine is outside public_html], Config and Updater) and that I had my config file moved into the new owncloud directory.
I then updated using occ

sudo -u apache php occ upgrade

It updated and I am able to use it (I might have had to turn maintenance mode off myself.) I am still trying to figure out exactly what permissions I need to set for files and directories.
From the manual I see this:

This summary lists the recommended modes and ownership for your ownCloud directories and files:

  • All files should be read-write for the file owner, read-only for the group owner, and zero for the world
  • All directories should be executable (because directories always need the executable bit set), read-write for the directory owner, and read-only for the group owner
  • The apps/ directory should be owned by [HTTP user]:[HTTP group]
  • The apps-external/ directory should be owned by [HTTP user]:[HTTP group]
  • The config/ directory should be owned by [HTTP user]:[HTTP group]
  • The data/ directory should be owned by [HTTP user]:[HTTP group]
  • The updater/ directory should be owned by [HTTP user]:[HTTP group]
  • The [ocpath]/.htaccess file should be owned by root:[HTTP group]
  • The data/.htaccess file should be owned by root:[HTTP group]
  • Both .htaccess files are read-write file owner, read-only group and world

What I am not sure about are these statements:

All files should be read-write for the file owner, read-only for the group owner, and zero for the world
All directories should be executable (because directories always need the executable bit set), read-write for the directory owner, and read-only for the group owner

I assume they are referring to every folder and file inthe owncloud directory but I am not sure.
They do provide a script that can be used to make the necessary changes but I prefer to change these myself.
If anyone knows if this is referring to ALL files and directories within the owncloud directory I would really appreciate knowing.

This information is found in
https://doc.owncloud.org/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/installation_wizard.html#post-installation-steps-label

I mentioned Virtualmin because one of the biggest problems I had was PHP appeared to not be running after I upgraded it. It turned out that in my virtual server settings (httpd.conf) the following line had been inserted (I assume by Virtualmin)

php_admin_value engine Off

I commented it out and then it worked properly.

Hope this helps.

I’m about to update from 10.0.4 to 10.0.10 as well, and wondering what you meant by moving the config file? We can no longer upgrade in-place?

Trying to get all my ducks in a row before upgrading. Last time I upgraded, the LDAP connector went down and it was a nightmare trying to figure out what happened (uninstalling/reinstalling the LDAP add-on seemingly “fixed” the issue). It has made me leery of upgrading now.

I did a manual update because I was running 9.x and the recommended method was to upgrade incrementally. I mistakenly tried to upgrade not realizing that the my PHP was way out of date so I began to run into all sorts of errors. My stupidity for not reading through the DOCs first.
Instead I upgraded my PHP renamed my owncloud directory, created the new owncloud directory with 10.0.10 set my permissions on the required directories and moved over my config file. I then ran the occ upgrade and It all appears to be working fine for me now. I have my data directory outside of the public_html directory and do not use LDAP
If you are not already running into errors, I would upgrade using your normal method. My post was in rely to a problem that looked similar to the issue I was originally having not having the proper PHP modules installed.
Hope this clarifies things for you.

It does. Thanks! I also ran into the same PHP issue when I did a 9 to 10 upgrade (because I didn’t read first - would have been nice to have a check on the upgrade that warned me about it). I only went to 5.6 though. Should have bit the bullet and gone right to 7.2 like you did.
