update from 5.1.4 to 5.1.5 is failing

[ausil]

Update both of my units from 5.1.4 to 5.1.5 fails. The web interface just shows the Starting update and does not appear to do anything to apply the update. both of my units have openevse_wifi_tft_v1 boards in them and downloading the binary and updating worked, the online update failed

I faced exactly the same problem

I had the same problem initially and whilst debugging, I noticed the update was returning a http 413 error. This is an http request size limit issue. My charger is behind a Nginx reverse proxy which by default restricts the request size to 1MB, not enough for the firmware file.

I updated reverse proxy config for the unit to include client_max_body_size 2M; and the update worked fine. If your unit is also behind a reverse proxy, give this a try. Alternatively try downloading the firmware file and hit the update URL directly and see what it returns. The update URL will be something like http://<YOUR OPENEVSE HOST>/update

@daisleyj Wow that's quiet a good spotting you did. Also behind nginx proxy and same issue, lost an hour in the UI code and haven't found nothing.

Edit: I tried using the IP directly and it doesn't work. It seems the device crash and reboot when starting the update. Works with uploading our own firmware.

Same problem here and I am not behind a proxy. Will try to find the IP and try direct. I am a bit cautious as I already once loaded a wrong file….

I encountered the same problem with the direct install in the UI. I downloaded the firmware file and updated through the upload option and it worked that way.
