Checking for updates issue

Gauzy

Just upgrade to Vanilla 1.1.2, went over to the update section, and I get a message that tells me: Error: First|Vanilla is up to date. I click okay, and then the rest of the page, everything just says "Checking for updates." I'm not even getting a spinning progress bar, so I'm a little confused. Tried emptying the cache, as I saw that fixed another issue with the updater from another thread, no go. Ran a quick search, didn't see anything that looked similar, so I figured I'd ask.

That definitely sounds like you aren't using the most recent javascript file. Are you sure all of the files were uploaded successfully? (you'd be surprised how often this is the problem).

Is there a way that Vanilla could check itself (the core files) when you click a button? Checksum the files or something? That might prevent this?

Yet another reason to have more core file-level more checksums... (hint hint)

@Mark - just double checked and re-uploaded all .js files, same thing. Any other ideas?

rel1sh

I'm having this issue as well. I keep my Vanilla install updated with Subversion so I should have the newest versions of all the files. Same behavior on Firefox and IE6, regardless of cache.

Saw that people resolved the issue by either restarting the browser or using a different browser, but no dice for me.

Any other suggestions?

Well, why don't you take a look at the javascript files you're using and compare them to the ones here: http://lussumo.com/svn/vanilla/trunk/js You should be particularly concerned with this one: http://lussumo.com/svn/vanilla/trunk/js/global.js If those don't match, that's your problem. If they do match, take a look at the framework's update check control in your installation and the one located here: http://lussumo.com/svn/framework/trunk/Framework.Control.UpdateCheck.php If those don't match, that's your problem. If they do match, take a look at the theme file for that control, located here: http://lussumo.com/svn/vanilla/trunk/themes/settings_update_check_validpostback.php If those don't match, that's your problem. If they do match, come back here and we'll look deeper :)

oh whoops - forgot to say i solved this just by re-installing. was probably some silly change i made that conflicted, in any case it's fixed now. maybe re-installing was a bit drastic, but it worked, so.

@Mark

Thanks for the heads-up. Enabling the default theme made the update work just fine. Thanks!

Mark

Yay!

been having this problem for a while again. came back here, tried to look at the files mark linked, got some 404's. i'm not keen on svn so perhaps i did something wrong. tried a full reinstall again (deleted everything, downloaded the latest copy of vanilla, then reuploaded all my old extensions/themes and pointed the fresh install to the old DB). same message: Error: First|Vanilla is up to date. i've seen a couple other threads with similar issues, and give that nothing i did to fix it last time worked and this is a brand new install, i'm stumped. maybe it's something server-side i should be looking at? any help is much appreciated, tia.

All the Vanilla svn paths now have an extra /src/ folder in them: http://lussumo.com/svn/vanilla/trunk/src/js/ http://lussumo.com/svn/vanilla/trunk/src/js/global.js http://lussumo.com/svn/vanilla/trunk/src/themes/settings_update_check_validpostback.php Framework and People should still be the same. Issue is a bit strange...

Gauzy

thanks WallPhone!

sadly, even after replacing the files in my install with the ones from the svn, nothing has changed.

this thread seems to show at least a couple others with this problem, maybe they can weigh in and offer some insights.
