I saw a bell announcement about the 4.3.1 upgrade available since my Mautic is a composer installed, I opened up terminal and did a composer update and copied the htaccess to the web root. Emptied cache and browser cache …

I am still showing on v 4.2.2

What am I doing wrong?

You should be able to now. We pushed the tag, but forgot to create the release (we haven’t got that bit automated yet).

Please try again.

Same issue here. v4.2.2, nothing visible to update when starting composer update (exact same command told in the doc and used by @techbill). I only get:

I was able to fix it but it only a workaround and they are still discussing on best a solution to this. The workaround is on slack channel link below.

Check this slack thread - [Slack](https://mautic.slack.com/archives/C01E8F6T2HM/p1654008977767519?thread_ts=1653719047.740319&cid=C01E8F6T2HM)

I did the workaround steps show in slack and I was able to successfully upgrade to 4.3.1 but back up fully first and keep in mind it’s not an official fix however so far it’s working for me.

How-To update a composer based Mautic 4.2

```auto
Create a backup

sudo cp -pr /var/www/mautic /var/www/mautic.backup

composer.json is too restricted in 4.2.2. replace all occurrences of 4.2.2 with ^4.0 using:
sed -ri 's/("mautic\/[a-z\-]+": )"4.2.2"/\1"^4.0"/g' composer.json

Update mautic using:
composer update mautic/* --with-dependencies

Clear cache:
rm -rf /var/www/mautic/docroot/var/cache/*

Restore old Config from Backup:
cp /var/www/mautic.backup/docroot/app/config/local.php /var/www/mautic/docroot/app/config/local.php

```

So I did a quick test on my prod instance (with a snapshot before): I got this message:

```auto
## The site is currently offline due to encountering an error. If the problem persists, please contact the system administrator.

#### System administrators, check server logs for errors.

```

Since it’s prod, I did a rollback.

Was the /var/cache/ folder completely emptied? I get the same error and sometime have to empty cache twice to make it go away.

Okay so @techbill you were right. I did clean the `docroot/var/cache` folders BUT not the `var/cache/` ones!

Now it seems to work.
