Hi guys. Thanks for the script but seem to have some problems.

Firstly I have the install and the working directories on separate drives. In the script on line 61 & 62, you have the script asking for the $working_path instead of $install_path. I fixed that in my script but then it is throwing up the error of

The requested version of Axigen does not exit

My current version is
Axigen binary version: 10.4.2
Webmail interface version: 10.4.2
Webadmin interface version: 10.4.2

when I point manually to the update url, it is saying that the current version is 10.4.3 but it wont update

Thanks again

Hello Acas,

I’m sorry to inform but the update script is not supporting 10.4 (and upper) Axigen versions as we are not anymore distributing patches (for binary and web components) so you have to manual execute the update procedure.

Best regards,
Ioan

This is a shame as it was a VERY handy script to use :pensive:

11

A new script that will work with Axigen 10.4.x+ on Windows is available at:
Axigen 10.4.x or newer update script - Windows

12

Unfortunately there’s no such script for Axigen 10.5.x

Have you checked above script and did not work for your - or what?
