php artisan app:install

This also no longer works as of version 3...

Also, nothing about opening firewall ports in this guide.

Check your APP_URL in your .env, it should match the url you are using to access the site.

@black3dynamite OK will but that on the check list when I try again tomorrow.

Snipe is currently on Version 4 and there should be nothing wrong with the installer.

Upgrading a previously install v3 to v4 is more complicated, but isntalling a clean v4 should jsut work.

@jaredbusch It's an upgrade from v3

Did you follow the instructions that I posted 17 days ago?

Have anyone installed Snipe-IT by using option 1 and then upgraded successfully to v4?

I did, but I was on gitter and received assistance directly from 2 of the developers there.

The upgrade from v3 to v4 was the most painful part, since upgrading my upgrades to keep current have been very simple.

#!/bin/bash
#Should update Snipe-IT Automatically

cd /var/www/html/snipeit
git pull
chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/snipeit/
sudo -u apache php composer.phar install --no-dev --prefer-source
sudo -u apache php composer.phar dump-autoload
sudo -u apache php artisan migrate
sudo -u apache php artisan config:clear
sudo -u apache php artisan config:cache

@dustinb3403 Yes but got errors during it which confused me as to what method I used in the first place to install it.

And did you proceed with the process of jumping onto gitter and asking for assistance there?

hobbit666

@dustinb3403 Not yet that's my next step is to try again and then talk to the Dev's

Why keep spinning your wheels? Just jump on gitter and speak with them directly.

@tiagom is one of the people who helped me to get upgraded.

Running V4 now.
Not sure what I did different to the first 2 times I tried but works now

Scratching my head trying to update from 3.6.3. @JaredBusch was super helpful in getting us up and running.

We are looking to move our VM to a new server so I installed a fresh version of 4.0.13 with the above method and its working great.

I am attempting to update the existing server so I can do a backup then restore it on the new server.

I have tried following above directions and can not do a git pull as I used the install.sh script originally. I tried doing an install.sh on top again and no luck. I tried a git clone on top as well and no change. I am still loading up to the 3.6.3 version. Gitter hasn't been super helpful so I am crossing my fingers here.

Do steps 1 -4 from the official guide - https://snipe-it.readme.io/docs/upgrading-to-v4. Step 3 is not required if no one else is using the app. Run the commands as the apache user ( sudo -u apache .........)

5- Follow along the first part from @JaredBusch guide to upgrade you install to use git

git clone https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it temp
rm -rf /var/www/html/snipeit/.git*
mv temp/.git* /var/www/html/snipeit/
rm -rf temp/
cd /var/www/html/snipeit/
git reset --hard origin/master
git pull --force
chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/snipeit/

6- Run the following as apache user as @JaredBusch guide recommends.

sudo -u apache php composer.phar install --no-dev --prefer-source
sudo -u apache php composer.phar dump-autoload

7- Add APP_LOCALE=en to your .env file.

8- Double-check that your storage directory and all sub-directories are writable by apache user

9- Apply db migrations as the apache user

sudo -u apache php artisan migrate

10- Open your .env file again and change your current APP_KEY to LEGACY_APP_KEY and add a new APP_KEY= to the file. So assuming both fields are the last ones of the file, your .env file should look like this with the changes:

....
....
LEGACY_APP_KEY=thisisyourpreviouskey
APP_KEY=

Save your .env file with the changes and run

sudo -u apache php artisan key:generate
sudo -u apache php artisan config:clear
sudo -u apache php artisan snipeit:legacy-recrypt

If you get a "Whoops" error when you try to login or refresh your Snipe-IT page, you probably forgot to clear your browser cookies. That error happens because we use a more encryption cipher to encrypt your data (including sessions), and clearing your browser should fix that.

11 - If you put the site on maintenance bring it up (sudo -u apache php artisan up)and go to your snipeit url.
