Hello, I had some issues updating my Mautic when it was installed on softaculous so learnt how to solve this issues and here is a small guide of how to achieve this:
- Save
local.phpConfiguration ← everything, copy all the file content in a text file- Clear Cache
php bin/console cache:clear- Delete All But Some
varFiles- Replace Old Mautic with New Mautic Files
- Replace
local.phpConfig File- Clear Cache
php bin/console cache:clear- Run Update Command
php bin/console mautic:update:apply --finish- Clear Cache Again
php bin/console cache:clear- Check
.htaccessFile- Modify permissions
chmod +x /bin/console find /path/to/your/mautic -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; find /path/to/your/mautic -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
- Reconfigure the Email SMTP Configuration in Mautic
- Navigate to
Mautic > Configuration > Email Settings- Reconfigure the SMTP settings as needed
Check the PHP version, 8.1 works great.
Also htaccess can be your friend or your enemy, this is the configuration I am using (still have to do some tweaks)

Hope this helps people that use softaculous.
BTW, I install a new softaculous version of mautic and then move all the content (step 4), that makes this extremely quick and easy.
If you have any issue, let me know.
Also, if you are in doubt, clone your mautic installation. The hardest part is the DB part, specially if it’s big. You can do it with mysql line commands but it can be easy using “bigdump”
This file inserts in small chunks big databases. Is like it cut the SQL insert statements in small pieces, so the process won’t crash.
Just need some tweaking
Lines per session is important, 1,000 to 5,000, no more
// OPTIONAL SETTINGS
$filename = 'brandvw_mautbvw.sql'; // Specify the dump filename to suppress the file selection dialog
$ajax = true; // AJAX mode: import will be done without refreshing the website
$linespersession = 1000; // Lines to be executed per one import session
$delaypersession = 100; // You can specify a sleep time in milliseconds after each session
// Works only if JavaScript is activated. Use to reduce server overrun
Blockquote
Also max query lines, keep this big.
> // How many lines may be considered to be one query (except text lines)
>
> $max_query_lines = 10000;
Then update this version and test it.
