I’m trying to use the latest version 26.5.2.3497 of ManagerServer for Linux x64 running on my Synology. I unzipped files, both the gz and tar and replaced all existing files with the new files of course.
Synology uses this script to start ManagerServer
“/volume1/Software/Manager Server Edition/ManagerServer” --urls http://0.0.0.0:5000 --path “/volume1/Software/Manager Server Edition/Data”
But the old version 26.4.22.3435 is launched instead. I tried restarting the the Synology and still same outcome. What am I doing wrong?
to solve this problem you should relocate the old version out side the folder and keep the new version inside
All the old files were overwritten. No longer present in the directory.
Then change the directory to a new one it will solve it
Thank you Bilal. Using new directory would have worked.
The issue was that the old ManagerServer process was still running in memory. Even though I replaced the files, Synology continued serving the old version because the running process hadn’t been restarted. I used SSH to kill the exisitng task and then restarted the task. New version is now available.
In my specific case, I had to create a new password after the update, and the “Businesses” folder was no longer present in the “Data” directory. I recommend backing up your “Businesses” folder beforehand just in case.
