Problem with update.phar.php

**zlobec** · 11/20/2015, 13:35

I'm trying to update from 2.11.17 to 3.5 with Live-Update... And everytime I get a blank page on url /contao/update.phar.php/index.php.

Contao Check gives all green light. Before I've been able to update fom 2.11.12 to 2.11.17 with Live-Update without problem.

Managed to get this from the server logs:

Code:

[Fri Nov 20 13:11:55 2015] [error] [client 188.230.221.90] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PharException' with message 'phar "/var/www/vhosts/hise-vranesic.si/httpdocs/contao/update.phar.php" SHA1 signature could not be verified: broken signature' in /var/www/vhosts/hise-vranesic.si/httpdocs/contao/update.phar.php:22\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/www/vhosts/hise-vranesic.si/httpdocs/contao/update.phar.php(22): Phar::webPhar('update.phar.php', 'index.php', '', Array, 'phar_rewrite')\n#1 {main}\n thrown in /var/www/vhosts/hise-vranesic.si/httpdocs/contao/update.phar.php on line 22

Thanks.

Hi,

delete the contao/update.phar.php file and run the Live Update. The file should then be downloaded again.

Hi,

deleted the update.phar.php file... now I just get redirected to url https://update.contao.org/en/ ?!?!

I also revalidated the installation with the Contao Check... and no errors.

Any more suggestions?

It could be that the URL is incorrect when you go through the steps of the Live Update. That is, in some cases the full server path has been displayed in the URL. When exactly will you be redirected to https://update.contao.org/en/ ?

Hey,

the Live Update URL is set for "https://update.contao.org/service/.

The redirect is immediate after clicking Run the update button. The first POST response from update.contao.org is 301...?

Is the Live Update URL correct?

Yes.

Open the "Maintenance" back end module and click on the "Go to the Live Update" button. Which URL is then in the browser's address bar? There should be something like that:

http://www.example.com/contao/update.phar.php/index.php

Then, if you click the "Start update" button the URL should get an additional parameter:

http://www.example.com/contao/update.phar.php/index.php?do=process

The file "update.phar.php" has been downloaded to the /contao folder?

Hey,

no.. I go directly from this url:

/contao/main.php?do=maintenance

to

http://update.contao.org/service/index.php
with some POST data... The response is "Reload the page to get source for: http://update.contao.org/service/index.php"

Then this gives me the 301 redirect to http://update.contao.org/en/

The update.phar.php is not downloaded. Can I do this manually?

Hmm, there might be some kind of server restriction that prevent the file from being downloaded.

Okay, whatever, I've uploaded the update.phar.php file from my Contao installation to a file hosting service: http://www44.zippyshare.com/v/e6XQlvEo/file.html

You may want to try it again with that file.

Hey,

uploaded the file and tried the Live-Update... still get the same blank page on update.phar.php page and the same error in the server log:

Code:

[Sat Nov 21 18:39:14 2015] [error] [client 188.230.221.90] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PharException' with message 'phar "/var/www/vhosts/hise-vranesic.si/httpdocs/contao/update.phar.php" SHA1 signature could not be verified: broken signature' in /var/www/vhosts/hise-vranesic.si/httpdocs/contao/update.phar.php:22\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/www/vhosts/hise-vranesic.si/httpdocs/contao/update.phar.php(22): Phar::webPhar('update.phar.php', 'index.php', '', Array, 'phar_rewrite')\n#1 {main}\n thrown in /var/www/vhosts/hise-vranesic.si/httpdocs/contao/update.phar.php on line 22, referer: http://www.hise-vranesic.si/contao/main.php?do=maintenance

Starting to think there is some other problem, with the server maybe...
