I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I’ve been searching the forum for over an hour and can’t find a straightforward way to create a new post. I apologize to the original poster for adding my question here, but I’m really lost. I’ve just installed the new version of the software, and as a first-time user, I’m running into some issues. Everything seems to be installed correctly, but I’m using a VPS server instead of a dedicated server. I’ve set it up under a subdomain, and while sending and tracking emails works fine, I’m having trouble with the Campaign Builder. Every time I try to create an email, I get the error message: “Your request could not be processed, please try again.” The logs don’t seem to provide any clues. I’ve reinstalled the software three times now and keep facing the same issue. The software is behind a basic firewall, and I can’t find any documentation about specific port requirements. Can anyone help me out? I’m getting really frustrated with this and am about to give up on it, even though it came highly recommended. Thanks in advance for any assistance! ---

Hi I suspect migration files are causing problems, I would run ```auto php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate ``` to execute each migration separately and see which migration file is causing problems. When you have that you can investigate why update is failing. ---

Updating from 5.0.4 does not work due to differences in the database tables from the additional tables and seemingly columns The instructions within this link is null & void, going from 5.0.4 to 5.1.0. Copying the local.php file generates an error 500 message and having to go through it line by line to find where the issue is, is long winded. Is there effective way to update from 5.0.4 which includes database changes? ---

When you execute the migrations like I suggested above once the command fails, you will see exactly which file (migration it failed at). So you do not have to check every migration, just the one it failed. As for local.php if you have issues, copy local.php from a clean mautic test instance, after you issue mautic:install command, copy it to your real instance, login to mautic and then got to Configuration \> Save & Close, this will repopulate local.php with default values. You should get rid of errors to some degree. After that you go and you set all the config. values via web UI. ---

Dear Lucas, Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. Unfortunately, I have not yet found a solution to the issue we are facing. I believe that collaborating on this matter could be beneficial for both of us. If you have any additional insights or suggestions, I would be eager to discuss them further. Looking forward to your thoughts. Best regards, Ramesh ---

Hi Ramesh, that sounds like a great idea - do you have a Discord, Whatsapp, or any platform we could connect through? Thanks, Lucas ---

Hi Ramesh, Just to let you know, I was able to solve this issue - it was caused by CDN, when I disabled it, it started working perfectly. I wish you a good luck!🙂 Best regards, Lucas Petrasek ---

Hi, @sunbpo I do have the same problem. I have just [posted my case](https://forum.mautic.org/t/i-need-help-in-updating-to-5-2-1/34723/3) in more detail. The PHP error I got was as follows: ```auto Creation of dynamic property Mautic\\Middleware\\MiddlewareBuilder::$specs is deprecated in /path/to/mautic/app/middlewares/MiddlewareBuilder.php on line 24＇ ``` with the following referers: /path/to/mautic/s/dashboard /path/to/mautic/s/login /path/to/mautic/s/update /path/to/mautic/s/config/edit … @lucas_petrasek I also use a CDN but I haven’t seen any affectation about it. Could you indicate what was the cause of the problem in your case? Thanks. I hope this helps with the resolution of the problem
