The question:
I have been trying to apply some Magento patches via SSH (SUPEE-5344 and SUPEE-1533) from the Magento Community Edition download page (https://www.magentocommerce.com/products/downloads/magento/)
I am running in a SSH session:
sh PATCH_SUPEE-1533_EE_1.13.x_v1-2015-02-10-08-18-32.sh
but keep getting the following error:
Error! Some required system tools, that are utilized in this sh script, are not installed:
Tool(s) “patch” is(are) missed, please install it(them).
I have tried applying earlier patches but receive the same error message. How do I resolve this to apply the patches?
The Solutions:
Below are the methods you can try. The first solution is probably the best. Try others if the first one doesn’t work. Senior developers aren’t just copying/pasting – they read the methods carefully & apply them wisely to each case.
Method 1
The solution is to install the patch package:
yum install patch
or zypper install patch for OpenSUSE LINUX.
Then run sh the patch file:
sh PATCH_SUPEE-1533_EE_1.13.x_v1-2015-02-10-08-18-32.sh
Checking if patch can be applied/reverted successfully…
Patch was applied/reverted successfully.
Repeat for all missing patches.
Note: I provided this as I spent quite a bit of time on this before realizing that the error being thrown wasn’t for a previous patch but for the patch package itself.
Method 2
I found a possible solution for those who have no SSH access, or having difficulties using sh command to apply for the patch: (community edition)
With the successful update on the local machine, find the 5 files on your local machine which have the updates:
app/code/core/Mage/Admin/Model/Observer.php
app/code/core/Mage/Core/Controller/Request/Http.php
app/code/core/Mage/Oauth/controllers/Adminhtml/Oauth/AuthorizeController.php
app/code/core/Mage/XmlConnect/Model/Observer.php
lib/Varien/Db/Adapter/Pdo/Mysql.php
upload these files to your server using FTP, and patches are done!
To me, this is a safer option to apply for the patches.
Pls correct me if I am wrong!
