Unable to upgrade nav 12 in debian 11 to any upper version.
Hello, I have a fully working nav 5.12 instance and when I try to upgrade to 5.13, 5.14, 5.15, always have a lot of internal server errors 500 , and I'm unable to get graphite work again. If the process of upgrade is always within debian 11 packages, no success. I tested upgrading from debian 11 to 12, and then upgraded NAV but not success! Please, does anyone know if there are some steps in the upgrade process that I have missed? Thanks in advance, S. Grau

Well, you did not really mention which steps you took, or what errors you saw (other than non-specific "500 errors"), so it's very hard to take a guess where things went wrong. The only two things I can guess from your post is that you are running Debian 11 and NAV 5.12. I would assume you have installed NAV from a Debian package by using "https://nav.uninett.no/debian bullseye nav" in your APT sources, as explained on https://nav.uninett.no/install-instructions/#debian Upgrading NAV should at this point be as easy as a normal Debian package upgrade: apt-get update && apt-get install nav Other than that, I cannot really help you unless you provide a more detailed account of your problems. -- Sincerely, Morten Brekkevold Sikt – Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research
Hi, thank you for your answer. After some research, I finally found the problem. It was in the PG cluster, I don't work with PGsql very often and I didn't know that upgrading Postgres from one version to another, the old one still remains in the system. I removed the old ones and then the NAV upgrade worked again. Sorry for the inconvenience. Best Regards, S.
