Installing patches on Magento 1.6.1.0 - ERROR with existing folders "/app/etc/"

[vane_hewson]

Hi, I would like to ask you some help.. I'm working on installing the security patches on Magento 1.6.1.0

I think I'm doing correctly. I uploaded the patches for the version, on the Magento root as you can see in the SSH results >>

The strange thing is the "/app/etc/" folder exist.

Do you know what can I do to install them correctly?

Thanks!

Sorry, I don't understand what you are trying to tell me..

Hello @vane_hewson

Possible reasons can be 

1. It seems like you're running the patch from your homedirectory ("/root/"), and not from the folder where your Magento is installed. Try downloading the patch and running it from your main Magento folder, and it should install.

2. Make sure the patch file name uploaded and while running command you are using the same.

3. Checkout this link for your error

Hi @theMageComp I have double checked and I'm in the Magento root, not the home directory root.

I'm receiving this error trying to install all patches >

Example:

PATCH_SUPEE-1533.sh: line 25: wc: command not found
PATCH_SUPEE-1533.sh: line 25: ((: > 0 : syntax error: operand expected (error token is "> 0 ")
PATCH_SUPEE-1533.sh: line 32: which: command not found
PATCH_SUPEE-1533.sh: line 33: which: command not found
PATCH_SUPEE-1533.sh: line 34: which: command not found
PATCH_SUPEE-1533.sh: line 35: which: command not found
PATCH_SUPEE-1533.sh: line 36: which: command not found
PATCH_SUPEE-1533.sh: line 38: PATCH_SUPEE-1533.sh: command not found
ERROR: "/app/etc/" must exist for proper tool work.

This is the Magento root I'm seeing on my FTP server:

app
applypatch.php
core
cron.sh
downloader
errors
favicon.ico
get.php
google51d0b8abd14122e0.html
index.php

PATCH_SUPEE-5346.sh
PATCH_SUPEE-5994.sh

I think I'm doing all right, not sure, why I'm having this issue =(

Please try to run command like below (if "sh" file is on the same level). Check i have added "./" before Patch File Name:

sh ./patchname.sh
