Hi,

I want to upgrade from 6.8.2+241203 to the latest version as of 2025-05-23 on our self-hosted instance. I have got a ComfortUpdate key of which I have used three updates which all of them failed.

Before updating, I make all the files writable:

find /var/www/html/limesurvey/ -exec chmod a+w {} +

Running the ComfortUpdate fails with the following message:

touch(): Utime failed: Operation not permitted

According to the output of this command,

find /var/www/html/limesurvey -mmin -3

there are lots of files (345) which have already been updated. Also, the version number which is printed in the admin panel increased to 6.14.0. Now I am afraid if this error tells me that the update was not complete, or can I just ignore it?

Kind regards,
Robert
