Updating Sentora

You may need to log into phpMyAdmin and change the Sentora version (sentora_core.x_settings.so_name_vc > dbversion)  to something lower than the version available in the master branch.

Once logged in SSH console as root, use this command line:(You MUST use root! Not sudo!)

bash <(curl -L -Ss https://sentora.org/dev-update)

 

If you have issues with curl you can try to copy and paste this command (for CentOS):

yum install wget -y && cd /tmp && wget sentora.org/dev-update && bash update
