server was up and running, noticed a client update so I ran the server update. Now it’s stuck here. Above is the console log.

Reproduction Steps

• stop server
• update instance.
• download update
• download completes.
• Nothing happens.

Was able to get it updated and running by updating from instance page and not within the instance.

This is not the issue I was having, it wasn’t first time set up, My server was already set up and authenticated. The issue was with an update. It pushed through when I updated from Local Instances page instead of pressing update within the instance. If I use the update button with in the instance It still fails, and does not give an authentication link.
