What does it mean it doesn’t work? Are you getting any error? You need to provide more detail. ---

I upgraded as usual, however i notice that when decompressing the files, it did not decompress the same amount of the files it usually does, they were like 10 files the most. I had to downgrade until I found one that works and it its the 25.8.19.2066, that one worked just fine. When you install the new version it does to respond when you call it using your browser, even i restart the service or restart the server itself. ---

Number of files in the package has been decreased. But server edition is confirmed to be working. We are using it to host cloud edition. What has changed are arguments. When you launch server edition you will now see this: ```bash Syntax: ManagerServer [options] Options: --urls Kestrel URL(s). Example: http://localhost:5000 Multiple values separated by ';'. --path Data directory for Manager. Examples: ManagerServer ManagerServer --urls http://localhost:80 ManagerServer --urls http://*:80 --path "/data/Manager.io" ``` If you are using non-default port, then use `--urls` argument. It’s more standard and more flexible. ---

I have the same problem. After a long time I decided to update Manager from version 25.5.31.2363, today as per usual terminal script that worked for years. Although, Manager Server started in terminal as usual see: ![Managerserverrunning](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/9/b/9b2fad3d59b88d1ab4d55577db2a0f19be4f4b0c.jpeg) and after a reboot and long wait it just keeps saying in varius browsers (Chrome, Brave, and Safari) and from various computers: Service Unavailable The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.However when using different browsers, Chrome, Brave, and Safari. I can only conclude that something has changed in the newer Server Edition version since this is the first time this is happening. I have no problem accessing the server using terminal. The server is Ubuntu with the following details: Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-216-generic Architecture: x86-64 Please fix so we can use the application, thanks. ---

@eko you are launching it with: ```bash ManagerServer -port 8080 ``` change that to launch it with: ```bash ManagerServer --urls http://*:8080 ``` ---

@eko, this is not Manager issue. It’s an error from `systemd`. Copy and paste that error into ChatGPT which will explain what you need to change and how. Manager Server is working. Even your console output is indicating Manager Server is running on port 5000. ---

I fixed it with help from AI, but it is concerning that a script I used for years worked well until I upgraded today from version 25.5.31.2363 I made backups just before running my normal script and if it behaves now differently it is because of changes you made and should have alerted us to. Thank you for responding. ---

@lubos Could you please enlighten me how to upgrade to the latest version? Previous I used NSSM to stop and unzip the download over the ManagerServer folder. Then I started the NSSM to run the program. Now with this latest version, I am very confused with the syntax and the path. Should the path be the ManagerServer folder or the AppData/Local/Manager folder? Can I continue to use NSSM? Please provide the step-by-step. Thanks ---

Can you explain what you did to get it working? I am getting the same errors. However, I don’t use a script. I wget the latest version, extract the tar, and restart the service. When extracting I also saw there were a lot less files. Thanks in advance! ---

In the latest version (25.8.29. 2724) I made it so the program still understands the old `-port` argument. This means your scripts launching ManagerServer can remain unchanged. ---

I assume you use Windows Server Edition of Manager. Like Lubos said, the number of files in the package has been decreased. But, it doesn’t matter, because we can just execute the `ManagerServer.exe` file anyway. It’s still the same, and yes we still can use NSSM. But, I use NSSM just for creating Windows Service for Manager. To upgrade (download zip package & unzip), stop & start the service in one click, I created `.bat` scripts manually. So if I need to upgrade Manager to the newest version or to stop and start (restart) the service, I can just execute those `.bat` scripts. For now, I’ll try to explain how to install Manager as Windows Service in this new version. Maybe it will helps the windows users. If you already have Manager as a Windows Service before, remove it first. You can use NSSM for this: • Use `Win+R` and type `services.msc` then click `OK`. • Find the Manager service and stop it. For example, the service name I set for Manager is `ManagerServerService`, so after find this service name, right click and then click stop. • Open CMD as administrator, then go to directory of `nssm.exe` file. • Run this command: ```auto nssm remove ManagerServerService ``` • Done removing the service. Now, we can configure a new service for the new version: • First download the latest zip file of Manager Server Edition for Windows. • Unzip it and place it on any directory you want. • Open CMD as administrator again, then run this command: ```auto nssm install ManagerServerService ``` ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/2/c/2c3982a29c811ecbb8993cdea0a4b3d437c18fa2.png) • In my screenshot, the `nssm.exe` file is in the `D` directory. That’s why I enter the `D:` command first. Yours maybe different. • Then, It will open the `NSSM service installer` interface, and `ManagerServerService` will be automatically set as the `Service name` below. You can change the `Service name` as you like. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/5/8/58d9f30e4288b8f257b637c41c74479e4534aa01.png) • In the `Path` field, click the `…` button and find the `ManagerServer.exe` file from the unzipped package before, select the `ManagerServer.exe` file and open it. • The `Path` field and `Startup directory` field will be filled automatically. All the unzipped file from the zip package of mine is in the `D:\ManagerServer` directory, so this is the screenshot after selecting the `ManagerServer.exe` file. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/c/4/c48e560b184f28e52b5d3f3b6acb52304e1662e3.png) For the `Arguments` field, first see this image below: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/6/6/66c283671284b77d8f706444d714cb834a85168b.png) • When we execute the `ManagerServer.exe` directly this is what we get. In the old version the options is `-port` and `-path`, now in the new version we can use `–-urls` and `–-path`. By default, if we execute `ManagerServer.exe` directly, Manager will listen on port `5000`, and it will create the Data directory for Manager automatically. From the screenshot, for mine Manager create the Data Directory in the `D:\Documents\Manager.io` folder automatically. So all the `.manager` business files, keys, and password for users will be saved here. Now, if we want to change the listening port (for example port `8080`), and if we want to use the Data directory that we already have for the old version, we can use this reference to fill the `Arguments` field in the NSSM service installer before. For example: ```auto --urls http://*:8080 --path "D:\ManagerData" ``` ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/e/8/e8807ce6a51482642c1915792f5dcd859209f82c.png) • `D:\ManagerData` is my Data directory for Manager from the old version where all of my `.manager` business file is located. Change it with yours. • This is an additional or optional setting. You can open the `Details` tab. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/e/1/e13d93671c68ffbc364a9306bdbd63b5c538d8ee.png) • You can set `Display Name` and `Description` here, so in the `services.msc` instead of `ManagerServerService`, the service name you’ll see will be the Display name we set here. For example I set it as `Manager Server Service`. It’s optional and you can change it however you like. For the `Startup type` keep it automatic. If you don’t configure anything in this tab, it’s fine. • After finish it, then click the `Install service` button. • Now, the service is installed. But, you have to make sure the service is running. Open `services.msc` again, find the new service we installed, right click and click `Start`. Now, try open `http://localhost:8080` in the browser. > **Note:** > > Make sure to stop the service before you upgrade Manager if there is new update. To upgrade you can just simply download the latest Manager zip package for Windows from this link [here](https://www.manager.io/server-edition), unzip it and replace all of the files and folders in your Manager installation directory. I hope it can help all Windows users that use Manager Server Edition for Windows. ---

Just carried out a Manager Server Update from 25.5.8.2317 to latest 25.9.30.2859 which appears to have failed stating Service Unavailable The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems Testing shows port 443 alive and well.

In addition thinking it might be the Ubuntu OS I rebooted the server and stepped back to previous OS 22.04.5 releases and the Manager symptom remained the same. So we are confident at this point that it is not the operating system. Guys I am getting frantic ….. 😟 ---
