It seems to get stuck on “Do you want a backup?” when upgrading from 3.4.1

Well, the “Next” button finally showed and now it is fine!

Maybe I’m missing something, but the Downloads page still links to the zip and tgz for 3.4.1.
I downloaded 3.4.2 from the “releases” link…

Thanks for pointing that out. Somehow, an old revision was published. Updated :slight_smile:

On the new manage campaign templates screen, the edit icon within the Action group on the right do not work. The ID parameter name is missing in the URL, so we have this:
http://domain.com/lists/admin/?page=template&7&tk=xxx
vs. the correct:
http://domain.com/lists/admin/?page=template&id=7&tk=xxx

The edit icon lands you on a new blank template, clicking the template name loads the template edit screen correctly.

Thanks for reporting, yes this issue has been confirmed and resolved: https://mantis.phplist.org/view.php?id=19937

It will be released in an RC around June 5th, and in a final release on June 11.

Having a little issue with the latest updater. I’ve got the following error happening:

Updater is loading.
Error: The following files are not expected or required. To continue please move or delete them.
.htaccess

I’m running NGINX. I’ve deleted every .htaccess file I can find - to my knowledge I can’t find any more of those files and I’m still getting this issue. Oddly enough I’ve got another site running PHPList on the same server and upgraded just fine. So I’m confused.

11

.htaccess is required to be in lists directory.

12

Having the .htaccess file present shouldn’t have any impact on nginx. Therefore there’s no reason to remove it.

13

Exactly, which is why it’s very curious that I cannot update the install on one website, but works on another on the same server.

14

Putting the htaccess file back should allow the updates to proceed as normal.
