Your problem

On my webhoster npm is not available. Everything else is. Due to npm no being available I can’t install by mautic by composer. So i’ve installed it on my local linux workstation and rsynced it. Now I upgraded on my workstation to 5.1.1.

Then I’m using this rsync command to send the changes to the hosting:

rsync -ruv \
  --links \
  --checksum \
  --perms  \
  --exclude /config/ \
  --exclude /var/  \
  --exclude /.git/ \
  --exclude /.htaccess \
  --exclude /docroot/translations/ \
  --exclude /docroot/media/images/ \
  --exclude /docroot/media/libraries/ckeditor/translations/ \
  ./  \
  user@webhosting:vhost/mautic/ \
  --delete \

afterwards I did run the clear-cache/update commands as documented (How to update Mautic — Mautic Documentation 0.1 documentation).

Now everything seems to run fine. :slight_smile: Nice!

Are there other folders to exclude in rsync? Or do I have excluded too much already?

Probably the .gitignore file should give pointers what to exclude/include.
