    When I try to do a 1 click upgrade to XF 2.1.1, it says I can't, because the files aren't writable. What files/directories do I need to make writable in order for it to work? upgrade.PNG

    I had to restore the VPS from a backup, but I still need to get the permissions set up correctly to get 1 click upgrades working.

    what's permissions for the following directories right now before any chmod changes
    • /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/
    • /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/internal_data/
    • /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/data/
    output for
    Code (Text):
    ls -lAh /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/

    and
    Code (Text):
    getfacl -L --absolute-names /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/internal_data/
getfacl -L --absolute-names /home/nginx/domains/newdomain.com/public/data/

    wrap output in CODE/CODEB tags

    where newdomain.com is your domain name

    I ended up doing the upgrade to 2.1.1 manually, but after that, the upload add-on via archive option stopped working.

    your files are owned by root user and not nginx so you don't do chown command outlined by @JoeDer in post #7 and in getting started guide step 2 https://centminmod.com/getstarted.html - whenever you upload files via root sftp user, you need to chown and make files owned by nginx user/group
    replace newdomain.com with your domain name for path to public for chown command

    So then I can run the other commands after running that one?

    you can though you probably only need that chown command to make sure file/directories are owned by nginx

    Awesome, I ran the one command, and the add-on archive uploader is working again!
