How to manually upgrade/downgrade CyberPanel!

usmannasir

Hello!

Note: This article is deprecated.

You can also follow the upgrade guide.

In case you want to manually upgrade/downgrade CyberPanel, here is a small guide.

Core of CyberPanel code is located at /usr/local/CyberCP

You can manually download any version from the main website. Using following commands:

cd /usr/local
rm CyberPanel.1.6.0.tar.gz
wget http://cyberpanel.net/CyberPanel.1.6.4.tar.gz

At the time of this writing 1.6.0 is the latest release. You can replace the version number with the version you want to install.

Make a copy of your configuration file.

cp /usr/local/CyberCP/CyberCP/settings.py /usr/local/settings.py

Now remove all core files

rm -rf /usr/local/CyberCP

Extract the files from latest version

cd /usr/local
tar zxf CyberPanel.1.6.4.tar.gz

Copy your settings file

cp /usr/local/settings.py /usr/local/CyberCP/CyberCP/

Apply database migrations

cd /usr/local/CyberCP
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

Note: If this step fails, you can continue to next steps.

If migrations fails to apply, you can read migrations documentation here.

Move static files:

rm -rf /usr/local/lscp/cyberpanel/static
mv /usr/local/CyberCP/static /usr/local/lscp/cyberpanel

Install tldextract:

pip install tldextract

Copy File manager files:

rm -rf /usr/local/lsws/Example/html/FileManager
mv /usr/local/CyberCP/install/FileManager /usr/local/lsws/Example/html

Finally, restart gunicorn to make your new version live

systemctl restart gunicorn.socket

If you run into any errors, please post below.

I encountered this error when using your method, "ImportError: No module named filemanager_app"

/usr/local/CyberCP/settings.py

If you find

'filemanager_app',

Please remove this line altogether.

Can you explain your problem in more details?

Hello,

While python manage.py makemigrations finishes without a problem, when I run python manage.py migrate I get the following error:

django.db.migrations.exceptions.InconsistentMigrationHistory: Migration dns.0001_initial is applied before its dependency loginSystem.0002_auto_20180301_2255 on database 'default'.

Any idea what I can do?

usmannasir

What version was you on?

baoang

hope oneday there will be an autoinstaller script, just like phpBB's autoupgrade.

DinhoSV

We definitely need an autoinstaller. How to know the newer version available to download? 1.6.1 , 1.6.1.1 , etc

Simple enought.

Log on to your admin portal, and from the top left you will find Version Management directly under Overview section. From there, you can tell if your CP is the latest one.

This did not work well. I believe I installed the new version 1.6.1 because i see mod security but for me it says current version is still 1.6.0. Why ?

If you see ModSecurity your upgrade went fine, will have the version numbering fixed.

billyf

so its a bug then ?

billyf

I guess upgrade didnt go well. because I enable mod security and it does not stay enabled.

ModSecurity installation went successfully?

billyf

Its there I can see it but when I enable it it then stays off again. Like if its not saving.

Is
wget http://cyberpanel.net/CyberPanel.1.6.0.tar.gz? always the latest version? If so, it would be great if changed to
"wget http://cyberpanel.net/latest.tar.gz", I am currently using
wget http://cyberpanel.net/CyberPanel.1.6.2.tar.gz in case the other one is not the latest

Latest version now is:

http://cyberpanel.net/CyberPanel.1.6.2.tar.gz

billyf

And after doing the new upgrade to 1.6.2 the version still says 1.6.0 I do see the new rules. I also see Mod security not working. It does not stay enabled.

YES! This is a very easy method for updating. Can easily be done via an automatic script if this is the file format.

Exactly! Implementing a autoupgrade on the panel with this method should not be a hard task!
