OwnCloud 8.x update on my Pi got stuck!

Question

I 2 days back tried to update the OwnCloud 7.x on my pi to 8.x when I saw the message on the owncloud interface. I tried the updater tool and it failed. So I ran sudo apt-get install owncloud and it downloaded the owncloud tar and placed it properly. I followed the instructions here: https://doc.owncloud.org/server/8.0/admin_manual/maintenance/upgrade.html

Why I said 'properly' is that when I opened owncloud using my browser, I saw that the owncloud installation was ready for update. I clicked on update and it ran forever.

Now the service is stopped and I cannot connect to owncloud.

Any pointer for help?

Answer 1

I could resolve it by using the command line updater OCC. I have used

sudo -u www-data php occ upgrade

as in described here.
