If you want to enable beta updates, go to the Developer module:
studio/module.php?name=bx_developerLook for the Update Channel option and set it to Beta.
Then open
studio/dashboard.phpand click Update to check for the latest beta build.Also, in
studio/settings.php, there’s an option called Automatic System Updates → “Try to update core system and modules automatically.”These options will automatically update any modules that are available on the UNA Market.
I’m not sure why all the update-related settings are so scattered across different places, but that’s how it is for now.
Make sure to create a full backup first, so you can roll back if you’re not satisfied with the result.
It’s also a good idea to test the update on a clome test site before applying it to your live installation.

Regarding the Developer module, it's clear that the installation was not completed correctly. I suspect there may be an issue with folder and file permissions. You will likely need to fix the permissions and then uninstall and reinstall the module manually via SSH or PHPMyAdmin, directly through the database.

f you need to set the correct permissions for UNA CMS, run this command:
Save as a file if you need further help to restore UNA permissions
set_permissions.sh#!/bin/bash # Filename: set_permissions.sh # Move into the 'una' directory cd una || { echo "Directory 'una' not found!"; exit 1; } # Change the owner of all files and folders to 'www-data' sudo chown -R www-data:www-data . # Set permissions for all directories to 755: # 7 = read (4) + write (2) + execute (1) for the owner # 5 = read (4) + execute (1) for the group # 5 = read (4) + execute (1) for others sudo find ./ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; # Set permissions for all files to 644: # 6 = read (4) + write (2) for the owner # 4 = read (4) for the group # 4 = read (4) for others sudo find ./ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; # Give execute permission to ffmpeg.exe (since it's an executable) sudo chmod +x ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.exe # Go back to the previous directory cd .. # Set this script's owner to 'root' and permissions to 755 # If you want, replace 'root' below with your SSH username sudo chown root:root set_permissions.sh sudo chmod +x set_permissions.sh # Display confirmation message echo "Permissions successfully set. Script permissions preserved."How to use:
- Create the file:
vim set_permissions.sh
- Press
ito enter Insert mode. - Paste the code from above.
- Save and close:
- Press
ESC - Type
:wq - Press
Enter
Final steps:
- Make the script executable:
sudo chmod +x set_permissions.sh- Run it anytime to restore your file and folder permissions:
./set_permissions.sh
What this script does:
- Sets the correct ownership (
www-data:www-data) and permissions for youruna/project. - Makes sure
ffmpeg.exestays executable. - Preserves its own permissions as
root:rootwith755, so it’s always ready to use safely.
Directory Structure
your_project/ ├── set_permissions.sh ← This script is here └── una/ ← The UNA CMS directory
Happy coding!

I am migrating another site (no content yet other than translations and some customizations on logo etc).. I managed to upgrade una to 15.0 and other modules except Channels.
I re-did again from a backup and still the same result for Channels. It says there is an upgrade available. Clicking install does nothing.
As per this page in unacms dot com wiki/Upgrade, I am supposed to see any errors in logs/upgrade_modules.log. But this file is not there.
I only have upgrade.log inside logs folder and the contents are this.
