Need help updating Dashticz

Hi all,

I'm having trouble updating Dashticz from V3.8.0.2 master to 3.10.0.1 master. git pull doesn't seem to work:

Code: Select all

fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
So I tried downloading the zip, backing up the old /dashticz folder by renaming it, creating a new /dashticz folder and copying the extracted zip file to this folder.
I was expecting to see the new Dashticz version when browsing to <ip-addres>:8082/index.html but I still see the old environment there - even though I renamed that folder.
I'm just a beginner at Dashticz/linux. What am I doing wrong?

Have you installed Dashticz by Git ?
Doesn't look like it

Install Dashtich as follows

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/Dashticz/dashticz
the goto the Dashticz directory

Code: Select all

cd dashticz
update as follows (not needed after new install

Code: Select all

git pull

I tried this, but get the same result: Dashticz is loading my old version. It seems that the url keeps pointing to the backup-folder. I ended up completely removing dashticz and all backups and installing it again. Apparently I can't install Apache on my Raspberry Pi setup so a few components don't work yet (and as a side-effect, the url changed from a custom port to the /dashticz/index.html structure). But that's another issue out of scope of this thread.
