Updating Systems That Cannot Connect Outside

If your FileCloud server cannot connect to our update server to download the packages directly, you can download file_cloud.zip and file_cloud.xml to a local folder and update your installation using the local path.

  1. Open the WWWROOT\config\cloudconfig.php file and edit the following entry:
    For Windows:
    If the files are located in c:\users\administrator\Downloads folder, then modify the url as follows:

    define("TONIDOCLOUD_UPDATE_URL_OVERRIDE","file://C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Downloads\\file_cloud.zip");

    For Linux:
    If the the files are located in  /home/filecloudupdate/ (Apache should have permission for this folder), then modify the url as follows:

    define("TONIDOCLOUD_UPDATE_URL_OVERRIDE","/home/filecloudupdate/file_cloud.zip");


  2. Download the following packages and place them in the local folder specified in the TONIDOCLOUD_UPDATE_URL_OVERRIDE config:
    https://patch.codelathe.com/tonidocloud/live/installer/file_cloud.zip
    https://patch.codelathe.com/tonidocloud/live/installer/file_cloud.xml
