Hi All,
There has been a thread in the forum:-
https://community.ipfire.org/t/upgrade-to-181-hangs/10634/1
where four people have reported that apache has not restarted during the upgrade so their WUI hangs at the line:-
PAKFIRE UPGR: core-upgrade-181: Upgrading files and running post-upgrading scripts…
but their pakfire logs showed that the upgrade continued successfully. One person has done the upgrade on 14 systems. 3 went without any problem but 11 hung after the above line.
IPFire has continued working fine behind the scenes so no big interruption to their operation but clearly for some systems apache did not properly restart.
In future core updates, if apache is being upgraded and needs to be restarted, maybe it would be useful to add a check that apache did actually successfully restart and if not to try to start it again.
Any other thoughts on this.
Regards, Adolf.
