Upgrading from v5 to v6 on Linux

[ryspencer]

Hi - sorry for the opening comment but I am not a Linux expert...

I have been running Nextpvr on a Rpi4 for quite a while without issue.  Yesterday, I noticed a new version 6.xxx was available.  I was running 5.xxx (not sure exactly which one).   Now the nextpvr webpage is not available and it appears I have corrupted the server.  I've tried to reinstall, but after reading some of the forums, I think this was a potential issue that I was not aware of.

I am now stuck with a system that won't upgrade, won't install and can't be started.  I am hoping someone (Martin?) can help?  I am not an expert, so even the process of uploading logs is unknown to me.

When I run the status, this is what I get:

Thanks in advance, 

Ryan

If the server is running maybe you just need ctrl-f5 to refresh the browser cache.

This is what I'm getting on the browser....

Hmmm… can't reach this pagenextpvrsvr refused to connect.
Try:

Search the web for nextpvrsvr
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Check your Internet connection
Check your network cables, modem, and routers.
Allow Microsoft Edge to access the network in your firewall or antivirus settings.
If it's already listed as a program allowed to access the network, try removing it from the list, and adding it again.
If you use a proxy server:
Check your proxy settings. You might need to ask your organization if the proxy server is working. If you don't think you should be using a proxy server, go to Settings > System > Open your computer's proxy settings

My server is a static IP. accessing using the exact IP, or localhost, or the name I have used nextpvrsvr:8866 all yield the same result. CTRL-F5 is not working.

I am willing to do a complete re-install, but would like to preserve my settings. Any advice on how to do this? Thanks again....wife is not happy right now

Stop the server and zip the logs in /var/opt/nextpvr/logs and upload them here and we can check.

Here are the logs...

Thank you for the help!

[mvallevand]

Those logs are from yesterday did you get an error when you stopped the server?

Not sure if these are the correct logs. It appears these are my recording info from just before I upgraded? I don't see anything written here after I attempted the upgrade.

No error....just another command line

@NextPVRSVR:~ $ sudo service nextpvr-server stop
pi@NextPVRSVR:~ $
