Joomla 4.04: upgrade to 4.05 fails, upgrade process freezes with now messages

[boris-grinac]

Steps to reproduce the issue

Upgrade from 4.04 to 4.05 will not complete.
Trying on-line upgrade, the default: message on screen "" Not a a valid header
Trying manual upload: no messages on screen, no response, but after new login administrator environment works, still showing version 4.04, so no upgrade done.

Expected result

Version should be reported as 4.05

Actual result

Version is reported as 4.04

System information (as much as possible)

After I have activated "log almost everything", there is uncaught exception in log:

To avoid confusion please explain in detail what you mean about the three different upgrade methods.
Also were they one after the other or did you restore from a backup between the attempts

[richard67]

And which PHP version?

[Fedik]

Did you made patch update before? example 4.0.3_to_4.0.4_patch

[beatty12]

I'm having same issue.
I setup a new LAMP env. on Azure (VM) with Debian 11. Apache 2.4, 10.5.12-MariaDB-0+deb11u1, php8 on Dec 18th. Installed Joomla 4.0.4 this morning (Dec 20th) and was prompted to update to V 4.0.5 upon my first login into the administrator env. When I tried to run the update, I got the same ("" Not a a valid header) error message.
There was a post somewhere about cURL being an issue and another post a while back that suggested running a database fix would resolve the issue, but it was regarding a J3 issue and I can't find the same "fix" button anywhere in Joomla 4 (under manage extensions) like there was in J3.

You can find "fix" button there /administrator/index.php?option=com_installer&view=database,
but it called Update Structure in Joomla 4

[beatty12]

Thanks!

More details:
Three upgrade methods:

1. Standard online upgrade
2. Manual upload of update package (.zip)
3. Manual upload of full installation package (.zip)
   Each time I have restored the server from backup.
   I have applied updates to this server each time there was an update. So this server is now version 4.04
   System info: OpenSuse Leap 15.3, PHP Version 7.4.6
   Now I have reverted this server back to backup. My backup is full images backup. This server is a virtual machine and I restored whole system.
   The server looks good, but update to 4.05 does not work.

I have tried to update database structure. The database version is 4.03, but manifest version is 4.04
I am not sure it this is correct, but this "update database" trick does not fix the update problem.

@boris-grinac could you update to 4.1?

This should probably bee closed now

Dear Christiane, I have tried to update to 4.1, but still no success. When updating via normal update, I have a freeze, no messages even no errors in debug window. When installing the update package in zip format, it looks better and I have error messages, basically the same as before when updating to 4.0. The difference is that now, with 4.1, the whole Joomla installation is not trashed, after failed update I still can open new admin session and it looks like Joomla is still alive - only not updated. So I do not have to revert the whole server back from snapshot. I have full control over the server, it is hosted on xen and the operating system is OpenSuse Leap 15.3 Boris
