Mint Forum

The new versions of Mint 2.01 and Mint 1.3 should resolve the update available issue.

Clicking the “Update(s) Available” button will dismiss the button until Mint checks for updates again and redirect to the appropriate uptodate page (Mint 2).

Mint 1 has a new Preference, “Ignore available Mint 2 updates”. This means you won’t get the constant nag to update to Mint 2 if you choose not to upgrade but you will still be notified when an update for Mint 1 is available.

There are also a couple additional tweaks to improve support for SSL/https and subdomains.

What Mint does now is adjust the path to the record script to use whichever protocol the page uses.

So if your Mint is installed at http://domain.com/mint/ and tracking a visitor on https://domain.com/purchase/ the record request will go to https://domain.com/mint/?record&etc... instead of http://domain.com/mint/?record&etc... as it did before (which would have resulted in a security alert in some browsers).

Hi Shaun,

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the new versions, but I’m still seeing “Updates Available” and when I click on that it does take me to andrewjaffe.net/mint/?uptodate but that page is completely blank.

Have I screwed up the upgrade?

Also, another suggestion for upgrading: Separate the peppers/shauninman/* directory into two: one for the ones which come with mint, one with add-ons. That will make it easier to upgrade!

Strangely both my installations say

Could not determine available updates for Mint on mysite.com

This feature requires Mint 2 or later.

I do have Mint 2 though. I’m on Dreamhost. Is this a limitation they might have set? I didn’t put my site as I try not to spam them around however I’ll post them if you need me to.

Thanks Shaun, even stranger is that it’s now working on 1 of the installations but not the other. I know they’re both on the same server which is why it’s stranger. I’ve deleted my cache and tried again but to no avail.

It’s the bambambambambam.com one.

That did indeed do the trick. Thanks again Shaun.

hmmm I’m on mint 2.02 and no longer seeing an update available link. I am right in thinking if a pepper gets an update we should see this right?

I know I’m not on the latest version of that pepper but not seeing the link.

mint.acuityimages.com and mint.photography-of-rock.com

Ah cool. I’ll keep an eye out for it.

Shaun, I’d prefer a update check (maybe only once a week) on the main site and not some button in the preferences.

Shaun, possible bug.

I’m running 2.0 at the moment. I noticed the check for updates button and clicked it this morning and it took me through to the page which listed all the peppers which needed updating, which was rather cool.

After installing all the new peppers I noticed that the update button was still there, so I clicked it and it took me through to a page which told me I was all uptodate.

But I’m not, as I’m still running 2.0.

Don’t know if it’s a bug with my install or not, but I thought I’d let you know. It’s happening on all three of my installs. One of which is on a mediatemple gridserver and the other two are on dreamhosts.

the widget still says “update available”, would this be a different fix?

Shaun, my updates check still fails with the same reference to requiring Mint 2 that giginger had and I’m running 2.03. Could it be because my hostname has 4 parts? Here’s the URL it hits: haveamint.com/peppermill/uptodate/deare … ic.us/mint

(Also on Dreamhost FWIW)
