Occ upgrade issue

Hey,

Im trying to upgrade my server from 9.01 to 9.1 and I cannot finish it because the occ command does not seem to work

This is my first upgrade and I am following the infos from the online manual https://doc.owncloud.org/server/9.1/admin_manual/maintenance/package_upgrade.html

thank you

Steps to reproduce
1. try to use sudo -u www-data php occ upgrade

Expected behaviour
upgrade

Actual behaviour
bash: -u: command not found

Server configuration
Operating system: debian 8.4
Web server: 9.1
Database: MySQL latest
PHP version: latest
ownCloud version (see ownCloud admin page): 9.1
Updated from an older ownCloud or fresh install: in the process of upgrading from 9.01 to 9.1

Here is a paste of my console output:

You're missing the "sudo" command in front of the "-u" parameter.

I have tried with sudo. It does not work either. I should not need sudo if I am root already right ?

No, root is not correct:

https://doc.owncloud.org/server/9.1/admin_manual/configuration_server/occ_command.html#run-occ-as-your-http-user

ok so you mean I have to run it from my user account ? I saw that in the doc but was unsure.

Ok I have installed sudo and configured it for my user and I am getting the following error:

Could not open input file: occ

not sure what to do now :frowning: Permission ?

sorry my bad; I forgot to change directory to var/www/owncloud

seems to be working now

cool I just did my firs OC update; only took me 6 hours haha :smiley:
