Failed Running App Update

[chaseconey]

Your setup

• What version of Cachet? v2.2.2
• What database driver? MySQL? Postgres? SQLite? MySQL
• What version of PHP? PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.16

Expected behaviour

When I run php artisan app:update that the application would update.

Actual behaviour

Receive MySQL socket error. Full output:

Copied Directory [/vendor/roumen/feed/src/views] To [/resources/views/vendor/feed]
Publishing complete for tag []!


[PDOException]
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

Steps to reproduce

• Install v2.2.2 with normal installation process
• Follow updating instructions here

Looks like your database is not set up to accept socket connections.

I am using an external database - so that would make sense. Is there anyway to use a tcp connection instead for backups? I am not seeing a way to really change settings for this. I would even be ok with disabling this feature for now. What would you recommend?

[GrahamCampbell]

We don't do backups on the 2.2.x version?

[GrahamCampbell]

Why are you showing me that?

[chaseconey]

Sorry, just giving more data points. I am using version 2.2.2 as far as I know. I installed using that tag and all steps were performed as stated in the installation instructions.

Is there something obvious that I am missing?

[jbrooksuk]

Try running rm -rf bootstrap/cache/* and then php artisan config:cache?

[chaseconey]

Ran those commands and followed up with another php artisan app:update and the same error occurred.

[GrahamCampbell]

I don't think this is a Cachet bug. Please ensure you've entered your database information correctly.

[GrahamCampbell]

If you're not able to get this working, we do offer an installation service for $99.

[chaseconey]

I don't doubt there is some sort of caching issue - but the application is running just fine (MySQL connection and all). Just that command seems to fail. I have had repeated issues with cache getting stuck somehow. Even after clearing all cache via artisan and completely killing the bootstrap caching, it still seems to persist.

[GrahamCampbell]

Opening until we know more.

[jbrooksuk]

@chaseconey can you try this on v2.3.0-RC2 please?

[jbrooksuk]

Out of interest what is your DB_ settings like? You using Homestead or something?

Closing as we can't replicate and it's unlikely to be Cachet issue. Let me know if you need more support.

[chaseconey]

Just as an FYI for the environment.

It is an AWS setup, just a basic single instance + RDS setup. No worries on the issue, I am sure once 2.3 rolls around it will fix itself.
