Hello,

i've the same problem.
Even renamin to .tgz does not resolce the problem.
Further no error messages in the apache error.log

regards,

Hi,

make sure that your php max_upload_filesize & post_max_size is high enough.

In addition to that the error message often occour, when an webserver doesn't has the permissions to modify folders/files on the filesystem.

I have the same "problems" and need to do an manual update.. soon


Cheers,
Jan

Make sure you download the file with IE since Chrome converts the file on the fly when you download it.

I have the same issue as the original post. 

Is there a confirmed solution to this problem?

Thanks!

I have not found the solution yet, for now I have installed a Nedio 1.7C machine, and I'm doing the tests there.
but I have noticed that there is little help on this forum.

It's rather slow indeed. I can't check that often as I'm really busy these days...

I've changed the extension from .tgz to .pkg with that Chrome doesn't decompress it automatically. If the file is around 4MB you're fine. As others pointed out before, make sure post_max and upload_file_size are well above those 4MB in php.ini. Also make sure the webserver can write all files in the nedi folder...

I found out that my "upload_max_filesize" PHP setting was only 2M.  Here is how to increase this setting:

1) Visit https://nedi.yourdomain.com/Other-Info.php

2) Search for the PHP config file that you are using.  For me it was:

     "Loaded Configuration File   /etc/php/5.6/apache2/php.ini"

3) Edit that file, and change the "upload_max_filesize" setting.  Mine was set to 2M, so I changed it to 20M.

sudo nano /etc/php/5.6/apache2/php.ini
     ; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
     ; http://php.net/upload-max-filesize
     upload_max_filesize = 20M

4) Restart Apache

     sudo service apache2 restart

5) Verify the upload-max-filesize is changed to the correct size.

6) You are ready to upgrade Nedi!

Well I fixed my "upload_max_filesize" problem, but I just ran into another problem.  This is the output after I click the "Execute" button:

Errors Write nedi-1.7C.pkg
I have seen the suggestions to make sure the web-server can write to the nedi directory, so I changed all permissions (see below) but this did not fix the problem.

tristanrhodes@nedi:/var/nedi$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data *

Any ideas on how to get past this step?

Thanks!

[rickli]

The pkg file is around 4MB? The nedi folder itself belongs to www-data as well?

[tristanbob]

Good catch Remo!  I did need to change the ownership of the /var/nedi directory.  Here is what I did to fix this:

Code: [Select]

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/nedi
And then I followed your instructions to update Nedi using the web-interface.  IT WORKED! 

Thanks for making such an awesome piece of software.
