!!CrushFTP4 upgrade troubleshooting tips. |

!Linux Upgrade:\\ |
At line 59 added one line |
- download the crush package, unzip it into /var/opt \\ |
At line 80 changed one line |
v4 has a bit of a mess on its user connection groups. So when you look in the folder "users" you see MainUsers, lookup_21, lookup_80, etc. |
- make it executable, as root : chmod +x crushftp_init.sh \\ |
At line 82 changed one line |
Figure out which ones are correct. MainUsers is the default location since v5. But you can use the other named folders just fine too. |
- register your CrushFTP 11 license key in your old CrushFTP admin dashboard, about tab\\ |
At line 84 changed one line |
In the prefs, on the tab with the list of ports, down at the bottom is a list of the user connection groups. Remove or add them as appropriate to match up with the real ones you have based on the folder names in the users folder. |
- copy over the files from the above steps for the Windows / macOS upgrade\\ |
At line 86 changed one line |
Then on each port, check to see what user connection group they are configured for. Assign them appropriately. |
- change dir into /var/opt/CrushFTP11/ \\ |
At line 88 changed one line |
If you haven't done this then logins may fail when you start using CrushFTP7 as it can't find the users since they aren't associated to the port you are using. |
- while as root, execute: ./crushftp_init.sh uninstall -- for all older versions daemon launch reference to be removed. (No CrushFTP app files are touched)\\ |
|
- while as root, execute: ./crushftp_init.sh install -- to have latest CrushFTP installed daemon launch reference added. (No CrushFTP app files are touched)\\ |
