Not able to update to 1.1.21 on Linux Mint

[quizhead]

Hi all,
I see an error when trying to update about empty folder:
pm ERR! ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty
What does it mean? how can it be fixed? Is there an option to update to older versions like 1.1.20?
Thanks.

you need to be a little more descriptive...
where are you seeing the error?
does it say what folder?

to way to install a certain version is

1. stop meshcentral
2. remove node_modules comepletely
3. npm install meshcentral@VERSIONNUM - meshcentral@1.1.20
4. make sure you have selfUpdate: false set inside your config.json
5. start meshcentral

I see this error when I run serverupdate and in the terminal I enter sudo systemctl status meshcentral in the terminal
This is what I see in the terminal

npm ERR! path /home/quizhead/meshcentral/node_modules/meshcentral
npm ERR! dest /home/quizhead/meshcentral/node_modules/.meshcentral-hCTqv3Eb
npm ERR! errno -39
npm ERR! ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty, rename '/home/quizhead/meshcentral/node_modules/meshcentral' -> '/home/quizhead/meshcentral/node_module>

i think your server has got itself confused...
try the steps above i mentioned (REMEMEBER BACKUP EVERYTHING FIRST!)

Ok so removing the Node_Modules folder and reinstallation solved it and the server is not updated to 1.1.21
One question: Until now I didn't enter the SelfUpdate: false in the Config file so without it ,it means that the server is trying to update itself every day by default?

[si458]

the default for selfUpdate is false, so it wont attempt to self-update everyday after midnight,
unless you run the npm install OR serverupdate in the console OR run the web ui updater
HOWEVER i have just spotted the schema says its true or false BUT when checking the code,
you can actually specify a version you want to run and when you start meshcentral it will update to that version for you!
so i need to add this to the schema file
