Prefered way to update to the latest version

[sakiss]

Hi

I am using the beta 0.74.0-beta16.
I cannot find the "System Upgrade" (described in the docs) functionality in my system.

So what is the preferred way to update to the latest version?

@sakiss it is available under System > Web Setup Wizard More details here
It is only available in the develop branch for version 1.0.0-beta

As said this option does not exist in my version.
If i get the latest files from github and put them in my installation will work?

You can upgrade using CLI tools, details here

Thanks for the feedback.
I followed that carefully but now i am getting some errors.
In the report file asks me to run the setup:upgrade which i do.

At the end of the setup messages it gives me that:
Please re-run Magento compile command

Visiting the site gives me another message:
exception 'Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException' with message 'Can't create directory /var/www/html/magento2/var/generation/Magento/Framework/App/Resource/.' in /var/www/html/magento2/lib/internal/Magento/Framework/Code/Generator.php:106 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/html/magento2/lib/internal/Magento/Framework/Code/Generator/Autoloader.php(35)

The errors seem similar to that: #1317

Permissions in all files and folders are 777

Any idea?

@sakiss do you have SElinux?

[sakiss]

all the files and folders have rw (777) permissions

[mazhalai]

Did you follow permissions based on [http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/install-gde/prereq/apache-user.html]

[sakiss]

Thanks for the feedback.

It's a local installation where everybody has read-write-execute (777) permissions

I think it's not a permissions issue as this was a working installation.
I just upgraded it by fetching the latest files from github, run the composer update and then upgraded the db-schema (setup:upgrade)

[sakiss]

Don't know if this helps but when i change again permissions the initial messages disappear and i am getting:
Please upgrade your database: Run "bin/magento setup:upgrade" from the Magento root directory.
The following modules are outdated:.......

When i run the bin/magento setup:upgrade at the end i am getting the message:
Please re-run Magento compile command

Visiting the site i am getting the initial message so i am in a loop

[sakiss]

I re-install it from scratch so can be closed
