5.4.0 update fails
How Do I?
Hi there,
I’ve run into an issue with one of my ExpressionEngine installs where the update doesn’t complete. The message says:
“Could not download update. The server returned an unexpected content type:
Try again in a few minutes or contact support if the problem persists.”
But there’s no indication what the unexpected content type is.
If I hit Stack Trace I see this:

Thanks!
Thanks for posting this. It would be great to know the following.
- What version of PHP are you running?
- What version of EE are you upgrading from?
Hi Tom,
Upgrading from EE 5.3.2. The server is running PHP 7.4, though I can downgrade this if that’s the issue. That may not be the problem, though, because I just tried the upgrade on another install of EE (this one from EE 5.3.0 on PHP 5.6) and ran into an identical error.
Thanks!
Any chance you can try again? We had a header issue that’s now resolved.
All good now. Thank you!
Awesome! Glad to hear it!
Hi,
We are trying to upgrade from EE 5.3.2 as well. We are on PHP Version 7.3.24.
However, we ran into a different error:
We stopped on Unpacking update.
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'ZipArchive' not found in /mnt/data/sites/dev.jtcc.edu/web/admin/ee/EllisLab/ExpressionEngine/app.setup.php:303

I would recommend checking your PHP info to make sure the zip module is enabled. That should be a default PHP Zip object.
@Tom Thanks so much for the quick response! That zip module was the issue! The upgrade was successful.
Great! thank you very much it worked for me
I am getting the same issue as the thread originator. I have over 15 other installs on the same server which upgraded perfectly and then on to 6, but one site refuses to go to 5.4.
I have replaced the ee directory files, cleared the caches both through the control panel and from the server directly, and still no luck. The updater is looking for Version: 5.4.0 Build: 11/23/2020. PHP Version 7.2.31
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you
I have a similar issue. Upgrading from 5.4 to 6 fails with following error: No such property: ‘db’ on ExpressionEngine\Legacy\Facade
ee/ExpressionEngine/Legacy/Facade.php:135
This holds for the one click update as well as the manual update.
Today i tried to update my 5.3.2 version to the 5.4 so i can go to 6.0 but the auto installer shows blank and when i open the stack i get this error don’t know what to do to fix.
