Issue when upgrading from 2.2.3

[milan_werkman]

Hello,

I am trying to upgrade my Magento 2 version from 2.2.3 to 2.2.4 or 2.2.5

Both do not seem to work when I follow the devdocs and upgrade via command line Composer.

After upgrading everything I get the following results in my SSH.

File doesn't exist: bin/magento
Check "chmod" section in composer.json of magento/magento2-base package.

The upgrade seems to empty some folders like the bin folder. I have found that I am not the only one with this issue but I cannot seem to find a solution, can someone help?

Hi @milan_werkman

I would suggest you to follow exact below steps / Run below commands from command line (SSH) to update your magento 2 version.

composer require magento/product-community-edition 2.2.4 --no-update
composer update
rm -rf var/di generated
php bin/magento cache:clean
php bin/magento cache:flush
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento indexer:reindex

It will upgrade your Magento 2 version.

Hope it helps !

Hello, @Manthan Dave

Thanks for your suggestion, I am afraid this does not work because after "composer update" I get the error (File doesn't exist: bin/magento
Check "chmod" section in composer.json of magento/magento2-base package)

So no php bin/magento commands can be executed.

Hi @milan_werkman

Well , its different problem if your command is not working then i think something is broken in your magento setup !

Here i would suggest you to manually download the latest version of magento  ( Magento 2.2.5) - then replace with your existing source code ( Except app/code and app/design) directories !

Also take a backup of env.php and config.php while replacing full latest source code of magento with existing source code of magento !

Then try , your command will start functioning.

Hope it helps

Hi,

I managed to solve the issue by first running the command:

find var vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type f -exec chmod u+w {} \; && find var vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type d -exec chmod u+w {} \; && chmod u+x bin/magento

 It must have been a permission issue.
