FreePBX not automatically checking for module updates

General Help
1

Hello All,

Running FreePBX 17.0.19.28 and Asterisk 22.4.1. I noticed that FreePBX has stopped automatically checking for module updates. Under Admin > Updates > Summary, the Last Online Check shows when I last manually checked (which was several weeks ago), although Scheduler and Alerts has Check for Updates enabled for every Saturday between 4am and 8am.

So the manual update check works, but the automatic check does not.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Thanks. Under Admin > Module Admin > Scheduler and Alerts, update checking is already set to every Saturday between 4am and 8am. Checking manually for updates from Admin > Module Admin > Module Updates > Check Online does work, and then I get an email that updates are available, but it never checks automatically.

Is there anything else I should be checking?

HI, most of the time freepbx relies on cronjobs too you have to check first in cron job either automatic update entry is there or not crontab -e look for entries like fwconsole ma updatecheck if not then add it there with daily or weekly schedule, also make sure to enable automatic module updates from gui under updates and then scheduler.
Thanks

Thank you! For some reason, the crontab didn’t include the line for upgrading although it appeared in the GUI. I reapplied the setting in the GUI and then it was automatically added to the crontab. So I’m not sure why it was missing, but it works fine now.

Thanks!
