I followed the guide here https://docs.firefly-iii.org/how-to/firefly-iii/upgrade/self-managed/

Thanks for letting me know. Several threads exist with suggestions. I'm still investigating what it could be.

[luigicarbone]

OK, let me know.

New instructions, because simply overwriting the old installation with the information from the new zip file tends to merge old dependencies with the new ones.

I followed these instructions but when running php artisan migrate --seed I get the following error:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function bcscale() in /var/www/firefly-iii/bootstrap/app.php:35
Stack trace:
#0 /var/www/firefly-iii/artisan(20): require_once()
#1 {main}
  thrown in /var/www/firefly-iii/bootstrap/app.php on line 35

I am running Ubuntu 22.04 and upgraded PHP to 8.3 due to an error stating it was expecting that version.

[JC5]

apt install php8.3-bcmath

Thank you. This allowed the update to finish.
When I browse to the site I get the following error: "Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.3.0". Below is the PHP version I am running.

PHP 8.3.4 (cli) (built: Mar 16 2024 08:40:08) (NTS)

For anyone else coming for this issue.
You need to update your firefly.conf file in nginx to use the new version of PHP.

I am getting the same error from php artisan migrate --seed on a Rocky Linux system using httpd, not nginx. I have also verified that php83-bcmath is installed already.

Any other suggestions to get past this error?

So I actually just ended up ignoring it and starting the new server anway. The web printed some stuff about doing migrations and then said everything was ready. And all my data is there....

So now I'm wondering

1. What did it do?
2. What did it not do?

My storage folder doesnt really have anything in it from what i can tell (at least not database and upload which the docs say to copy if you're doinga backup). I'm pointed to a mysql db.

[JC5]

Honestly, I have no clue. The error is a very vague Laravel error and so far I haven't seen any fixes that "just work", everybody gets a slightly different solution.

[isaacgr]

But what are the commands supposed to do? It seemed like the web just ended up doing whatever they were (migrating the database etc.).

[JC5]

Basically, you install the dependencies again and make sure access rights are correct. Neither of which should be a problem for a fresh install, but there you go.
