Hi @washington,

Have you read the upgrade documentation in docs/UPGRADE?

Hi, I did read the DOC/UPGRADE and now I’m trying apply the patch to upgrade from version 2.3.7.0 to version 2.4.6.0 but no success still. Could someone help me? Attached follows an image of my DOS prompt with the error.

Best Regards.

Hi @washington,

You need to run this from within the OJS installatoin directory so the patch tool knows where to look for files.

Exactly, if you observe the image above you will see that, I am running from into the instalation directory of current ojs in my server but the tool to patch GnuWin32 is installed in C:/program files x86/GnuWin32/bin…
Would be this the problem?

Thanks.

Hi @washington,

It looks like your current directory is C:\Program Files(x86)\GnuWin32\bin in the above screenshot. You’ll need to cd into the OJS installation directory first.
