Meshcentral: Update issue?

Created on 23 Sep 2020 · 17Comments · Source: Ylianst/MeshCentral

Hi Currently trying to update from 0.5.95 to 0.6.44, when i normally update i click on the check mark and click on OK takes around 10min and the server updates, but this time i keep getting the 504 NGINX because of the service, i manually start the service and still shows the 0.5.95 any ideas?
I tried checking logs but didnt find any

Thank you

Oh dear. What version of NodeJS are you using?

Ylianst on 23 Sep 2020

Ubuntu 20.04, node v12.18.4

wh1te909 on 23 Sep 2020

Just moved "latest" back to MeshCentral v0.6.43 until I investigate this. Thanks for reporting.

Ylianst on 23 Sep 2020

@wh1te909 were you trying to update?
currenly i check the logs and i dont see any errors

currently running ubuntu server 18.04
with node v8.10.0

@farzadha2 no, i have not tried to update my production server yet, although I always update from the command line, not from the web gui.

This error was during a fresh install on my test server, i have a project that integrates with meshcentral, and during the install script it installs and sets up meshcentral and so my tests caught it.

Just published MeshCentral v0.6.45 with a fix. Should work on NodeJS 6.0+ now. Let me know if it works.

@Ylianst the randomInt error is fixed but now getting this error

Regarding the above, that error only happens on a fresh install.
I tried doing a fresh install using version 0.6.33, then upgrading to 0.6.45 and no errors all working.
But when trying to fresh install 0.6.45 getting the above error.

wh1te909 on 23 Sep 2020

oh gotcha, possible whats the command line to update?

farzadha2 on 23 Sep 2020

Working on this now!

Ylianst on 23 Sep 2020

@farzadha2 here is what i do, just change the cd to wherever you installed meshcentral. removing node_modules is not needed I just like doing it to clear the cache and sometimes fixes issues. if mesh doesn't start you should see the error in the output of systemctl status meshcentral or you can just run mesh manually, stop the systemd service first and then run node node_modules/meshcentral

sudo systemctl stop meshcentral
cd /meshcentral
rm -rf node_modules/
npm install [email protected] # or meshcentral@latest
sudo systemctl start meshcentral

Just published MeshCentral v0.6.47 with a fix for this. Just update to this version using the command line technique shown above and should work fine. If using the Windows installer, you can uninstall and re-install and it should work. Let us know the results.

Ylianst on 23 Sep 2020

awesome, 0.6.47 working great for me! let's see if also resolves the upgrade issue for @farzadha2

@wh1te909 Nice. Thanks for reporting back. Will wait for @farzadha2 to close this one.

Ylianst on 23 Sep 2020
