I want to update castopod from 1.15.1~ynh1 to 1.15.4~ynh1 but i get an error - see below. What can i do? I had a look at ‘/etc/php/8.2/fpm/pool.d/’ and there is no castopod.conf in that directory.

Could you try running the following command prior to upgrade?

sudo yunohost app setting castopod php_version 8.4

This will fix up incorrectly set PHP version the app uses.

3

Thanks!

sudo yunohost app setting castopod php_version 8.4
usage: yunohost {app} ... [-h] [--output-as {json,plain,none}] [--debug] [--quiet] [--version] [--timeout ==SUPPRESS==]
yunohost: error: unrecognized arguments: 8.4
4

sudo yunohost app setting castopod php_version -v 8.4, sorry!

5

That worked! But still same error updating castopod:

Sammeln von Dateien, die für castopod gesichert werden sollen…
Declaring files to be backed up…
/home/yunohost.app/castopod will not be saved, because ‘BACKUP_CORE_ONLY’ is set.

Failed to collect files to backed up for castopod.

Actually I was wrong, the version Castopod at that revision uses is 8.2 (per manifest).

Is the application actually working? What’s the socket it’s talking to in /etc/nginx/domain.tld.d/castopod.conf?

7

Hi! I switched back to PHP 8.2.

/etc/nginx/conf.d/<domain.tld>.d/castopod.conf:

#sub_path_only rewrite ^/$ / permanent;
location / {

  # Path to source
  alias /var/www/castopod/public/;

  index index.php;
 
  client_max_body_size 512M;

  more_clear_headers 'X-Frame-Options';
  
  try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
  location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.2-fpm-castopod.sock;
    include fastcgi_params_no_auth;
  }
}

location ^~ /media/ {
  alias /home/yunohost.app/castopod/media/;
  more_set_headers "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *";
}

At the moment the website delivers a 502: https://bandmoment.de/

8

Can you comment out this line in /etc/yunohost/apps/castopod/scripts/backup, then try upgrading again?

9

Works! Thank you so much!
