Update from 9.1.4 to 10.7 -- first steps of guide do not match my system

[rudi]

Hello,

my system is at OC9.1.4, and I wanted to upgrade it to 10.7.

The table at doc.owncloud.com server admin_manual maintenance upgrade.html is telling this should be a straight thing, isn’t it?

The mentioned preferred manual upgrade as of doc.owncloud.com server admin_manual maintenance manual_upgrade.html is listing the steps to do so.

But already the very first one is failing, basically the specified user “www-data” doesn’t exist at all.

Next step would be to stop the web server, apache2 doesn’t seem to exist as a service?

Hm.

with more info I cannot do the post, removed, will try to attach it as a file. (PuTTY outputs).
(sorry new users can only place two URLs – no URLs included in my text – confused)

any suggestions appreciated, regards, Rudi.

Did you mean this?
maintenance:install

Hi rudi,

On centos the webserver user is apache, see https://doc.owncloud.com/server/admin_manual/configuration/server/occ_command.html#run-occ-as-your-http-user

So in all examples you must replace www-data with apache

# find / -name occ
/root/owncloud/occ
^C

If you had not stopped the find command it would have shown some other directory (I guess somewhere in /var/www).

You sure don’t have your ownCloud installation in the root directory. Refer to your apache configuration where your ownCloud directory is and try again
