Hello, Can anyone help on resolving an error message after login? This only appeared a few days ago. Tried to look in the setting without luck. Thank you in advance for your help. Kind regards, Peter ![farmos](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/farm_os/original/1X/515f8bc515b4eb81aff36e7585c88d51af665cf2.jpeg) ---

Hi @rosewoodfarm - thanks for reporting this. I am going to move this to a new bug report in the GitHub issue queue: [https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/issues/298](https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/issues/298) If you don’t mind, can you create a GitHub user account (if you don’t already have one) and help to debug with me over there? I have a hunch… ---

Oh actually… I think this is a duplicate of an older issue that has been fixed. What version of farmOS are you using? ---

Where can I find the version detail? I believe it has been setup to auto update as soon a new version is available. ---

@rosewoodfarm Oh interesting. farmOS itself doesn’t have any logic for automatically updating. Did you set something up yourself for that? Are you sure it is doing everything that is required? Here are the official instructions for updating: [https://farmos.org/hosting/updating/](https://farmos.org/hosting/updating/) I’m curious what your set up is for that. The version will be listed in `profiles/farm/farm.info` at the bottom, assuming you are using a packaged version downloaded from [https://drupal.org/project/farm](https://drupal.org/project/farm). ---

Hello Mike, Thanks for the info. Unfortunately at the bottom of the screen where you suggested, there is no version detail that I can see. Please see screen image attached. As for the automatic software update, I will check with my IT person when he’s in. It is our company practice to have auto update of all software we use. I can only assume this software is no different. Unfortunately, As for how he achieved such, sorry I’m not technical enough to able to answer this question. I will check with him later. Kind regards, Iming (Peter) ![farmos.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/farm_os/original/1X/9e606ec15c4c891d31e2afa4fb1c4dee17ebeb68.jpeg) ---

Hello Mike, I just received an email regarding security update available for my version of Drupal. Anyway, through the link given on the email, I can confirm that we are using 7.x-1.2. Apparently, three is a later version (7.x-1.4) available. I will update this and see whether that will fix the issue. Kind regards, Iming (Peter) ---

@rosewoodfarm Great! If the update does not fix this issue, let me know and we can follow up with a bug report. > Unfortunately at the bottom of the screen where you suggested, there is no version detail that I can see. Please see screen image attached. Ah, sorry if I wasn’t clear. I meant in the actual code file that is on the server. You can’t see the version from the site itself. You would need to browse the code files and file `profiles/farm/farm.info` to look at it. ---

Hi Mike, The error message no longer showing after upgraded to the latest version. As for the auto update, the IT person is using cron to schedule checking and executing the upgrade, etc. when required. Sorry I’m not technical enough to give you how this is achieved. However, it clearly worked overnight. Iming (Peter) ---

Great! Glad to hear the update resolved the issue. > As for the auto update, the IT person is using cron to schedule checking and executing the upgrade, etc. OK, I’m a little wary of this approach, only because it does not involve a review process to understand the updates before they are performed. But assuming you are not doing anything custom it should be fine. Still, it is highly recommended that a backup is made before the updates. Also, updating the code is only one step. It also **MUST run `update.php` to ensure that any changes to the database/configuration are performed as necessary**. Official documentation for updating: [Updating farmOS | farmOS](https://farmos.org/hosting/updating/) Just don’t want any unexpected issues to arise! 🙂
