No Lucee admin after upgrading to 5.4.3.2

[sebduggan]

I’ve upgraded from 5.4.3.1 to 5.4.3.2 on 5 servers, and now none of them show the Lucee admin - I just see a blank page, and the http status is 404.

Admin was working on all the servers under 5.4.3.1.

Don’t forget to tell us about your stack!

OS: Ubuntu 18.04.6
Java Version: 8
Tomcat Version: ???
Lucee Version: 5.4.3.2

Have you tried the latest 5.4.3.4-SNAPSHOT as an update to Linux related OS as specified by @Zackster here?

Lucee Critical Security Alert, August 15th, 2023 - CVE-2023-38693

I just published 5.4.3.4-SNAPSHOT, this should solve Error: requested action doesn’t exist (mostly a linux problem?) error on the applications page when behind a firewall docker is building (takes a while), commandbox is building, available via the admin or https://download.lucee.org/?snapshots=05.004.003.0004.000#core

Also, please read the following if the update isn’t fully deploying the new web-context.

Additionally, after seeing a thread on Slack by @dswitzer, who had issues within the Lucee Administrator (not being able to load certain administrator pages), I can confirm that I had a similar issue on test upgrades in Ubuntu (it might be the same on Windows): The Lucee Administrator were not fully deployed when upgrading with the full lucee-5.4.3.2.jar. If you are finding the same issues, you might need to do the following: ATTENTION: Make a backup of your Administrator Settings first. This …

I actually work with Seb and he worked with me testing the fixes in the latest snapshot

5.4.3.7-SNAPSHOT ready for testing

Hey everyone, we have a new 5.4.3.7-SNAPSHOT out which addresses all the known regressions with 5.4.3 LDEV-4675 Admin: requested action doesn’t exist LDEV-3854 a fix for the pagePool locking problem LDEV-4480 “.” should not be accepted/converted as/to a number LDEV-4676 SerializeJSON() produces invalid JSON when serializing some CFC instances Builds are up, including docker images, It would be great if people can test this out and let us know

I want to avoid a new install and reconfiguration.
How do I apply the SNAPSHOT fix if I can’t login?

[sebduggan]

Download the .lco file of the snapshot, and drop it in the /lucee/tomcat/lucee-server/deploy/ directory. Within a minute or so, it should be automatically applied (will disappear from that directory and can be found in the patches directory).

5.4.3.7-SNAPSHOT ready for testing

This leaves me very confused as it implies 5.4.3.7 is buggy and the phrase “this version” is vague. More confusion arises from absent information for later snapshots up to 5.4.3.12 as of Sep 17, 2023. Which is the unambiguous version number recommended for resolving the known Admin site issues?

Thank you @sebduggan. Can you recommend which snapshot version is current recommendation?

[sebduggan]

@Zackster suggested to me 5.4.4.0-SNAPSHOT as essentially being the next RC and should have all regressions resolved…

@sebduggan Thank you.
5.4.4.0-SNAPSHOT fixed login on every Admin page for development host.
