I got a notification in the Craft 3 beta versions I have been working on to upgrade to 3.0.0 RC1. I clicked update and it began updating only the throw the following error. Any ideas what may have happened?

Status: Gateway Time-out

<head><title>504 Gateway Time-out</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">

If it's of any help, this is a composer install using Valet to run.

  • I manage to solve the issue by using composer to upgrade, but first had to delete the composer lock file.

  • I tried this and was getting: Problem 1 - Can only install one of: craftcms/server-check[1.1.0, 1.0.17]. So I needed to just run composer update to update dependencies too. It worked for me.

You can use this article to help debug 504 Gateway Timeout errors that can be common when updating Craft, because those tend to be longer running operations: https://craftcms.com/support/504-gateway-timed-out-error

Your solution works because PHP timeouts from the command line are generally much more forgiving that PHP timeouts from a web browser.

Craft 3 uses Composer for its updating needs (for itself and for plugins). Composer has a tendency to be the opposite of fast, so you might want to go ahead and bump things like your php.ini file's max_execution_time for future updates if you plan on doing it from the Control Panel.
