Issues when upgrading to CollectiveAccess 2.0

carlosTF

I'm evaluating CA for a private artwork collection.
I succeeded installing 1.7 (macOS), encountering one single issue: no thumbnails would be displayed for uploaded media, although files were correctly uploaded to media/collectiveaccess/
I tried to resolve this issue with the help of ChatGPT, but I ended giving up.
I then decided to switch to CA 2.0 an d PHP 8.2. After correcting several permission alerts, I finally got to the same window as in https://support.collectiveaccess.org/d/301849-help-with-upgrading-to-version-20
The problem I have is that there's no such caUtils.php file in /ca, and all efforts addressed to find it or to sort it out via install/update composer have been useless.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Running

./caUtils update-from-1-7;

returns permission errors:

I have check permissions for the _www webserver user and looks fine, but the error persists.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Run this command as root user (sudo) or the user that has write access to the install (such as www-data with sudo -u www-data).

That did the trick, thank you!
