    Trying to upgrade from Newscoop 4.2.4 to 4.3 or latest version. Trying to run the upgrade.php script from the browser and I get nothing. I am using a remote connection if that makes a difference. Is it possible to just do an upgrade from terminal? If so, a sequence of commands would be appreciated. I'm in a Debian OS. I'm a newbie to Linux but I'm program savvy so I'm not to bad. Thank you in advance.

    I restore backup from your official demo (4.2.4) via:
    /var/www/users/beta4/newscoop/bin/newscoop-restore -b backup-newscoop-demo.tar.gz -e -s
    Restore  was going OK! Without errors or warrnings.

    Restart apache. Ok.

    But I have 3.rd problem with DELETING themes from Available themes folder.
    If I choose Delete under the Actions menu, nothing happend:

    Errors in apache log:

    [Mon Jan 12 20:41:27.054066 2015] [:error] [pid 18892] [client xx.xx.xx.xx:62550] Newscoop error: Undefined index: publications in /var/www/users/beta4/newscoop/application/modules/admin/controllers/ThemesController.php:587, referer: http://beta4.test.com/admin/themes

    Dear Andrey,
    what does this mean in apache log:
    [Thu Jan 15 18:29:33.085505 2015] [:error] [pid 19100] [client x.x.x.x:3835] PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function getId() on a non-object in /var/www/users/beta4/newscoop/library/Newscoop/Services/IssueService.php on line 104

    Admin is blank?
    Front page is OK.

    Because of problems with 4.3.0, I make fresh install of 4.3.1 from Github,
    restore backup from 4.2.4 without errors,
    place fixed legacy plugins to newscoop/plugins/
    and as you suggested

    php composer.phar install --no-dev
    php composer.phar dump-autoload
    rm -rf cache/*
    and restart apache...

    Robert<br>

    yes, it's a known bug in 4.3.1. You can use latest code from 4.3.x branch (
    https://github.com/sourcefabric/Newscoop/tree/v4.3) or wait for coming
    4.3.2 release.

    I upgrade from 4.2.4 to 4.3.2.
    I done http://www.example.com/upgrade.php
    The page answeres :

    curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
    php composer.phar install

    I peformed these commands.

    And again:
    curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
    php composer.phar install
