Upgrading to new version - what a mess

[nexus186]

I was trying to upgrade to 14.0.3 from 14.0.1 today through the web interface and it got stuck at the "parsing response failed".

I tried a variety of solutions from google, none of which worked.

Then I tried manually updating by invoking php updater.phar, it worked but then the web interface complained about tons of "EXTRA_FILE" files being found....which I couldn't actually find in the folder.

My 14.0.1 installation was a stock installation, nothing customized other than the data directory being in a different location (the permissions and the configs were set correctly). How can the upgrade fail on a stock installation??? Was this even tested before it was pushed out??

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #2898 (Upgrade Issue), #9795 (Upgrade error), #2270 (Skipping major versions during upgrade), #2358 (Cannot create new users after upgrade), and #7399 (Version diclosure).

Could you share these "EXTRA_FILE"? (not the files itself only the warning)

Maybe related to #10677. I also got the "parsing response failed" initially when updating from 13.0.6 to 14.0.2. I proceeded by manually setting 'maintenance' => false in the config.php file. Then the update finished.
But now the update from 14.0.2 to 14.0.3 gives me the error message about the ocm-provider extra file.

I tried setting maintenance to false and retrying the upgrade...didn't work. Only thing that worked was manually triggering php updater.phar.

I don't have the list of the "EXTRA_FILE" anymore....but it was all pointing to files inside the core folder (from the JSON error output).

I scrapped my old installation and just reinstalled it from scratch.

These type of things shouldn't be happening on stock installations...a lot of people are having issues upgrading.

The error message is:

The following extra files have been found:

• ocm-provider

ocm-privider is actually a directory, that contains one file: index.php
