Run the FastGPT 4.9.4 Upgrade Script

This article records configuration and changes from a historical FastGPT release. Use it to understand that release, and consult the release notes for your installed and target versions before applying dependencies, configuration, or migration steps.

Required User Eligibility

This upgrade script is exclusively intended for FastGPT Pro edition users. Only individuals with access to the deployment’s rootkey environment variable and the public FastGPT domain can successfully execute this command. Unauthorized execution will fail due to missing or invalid authentication credentials, as the target administrative endpoint requires valid rootkey authentication.

Step-by-Step Execution Command

To run the 4.9.4 upgrade script, use any standard terminal session and submit the following HTTP POST request. Two mandatory placeholders must be replaced prior to running the command:

1. Replace {{rootkey}} with the exact value of your FastGPT deployment’s rootkey environment variable. This key grants full administrative access to run upgrade operations.
2. Replace {{host}} with your public FastGPT domain name (e.g., fastgpt.yourcompany.com).

The complete, required curl command is:

curl --location --request POST 'https://{{host}}/api/admin/initv494' \
--header 'rootkey: {{rootkey}}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'

Each component of this command is required: the --location flag automatically follows any HTTP redirects, the rootkey header authenticates the administrative request, and the Content-Type header specifies that the request body uses JSON formatting.

Script Functional Impact

When executed without errors, this script performs one targeted upgrade task: it updates the site sync scheduler for your FastGPT 4.9.4 deployment. This adjustment aligns your site’s synchronization processes with the latest version’s requirements, resolving potential scheduling inconsistencies or synchronization failures associated with prior configurations. No additional changes to your deployment’s core functionality, stored data, or secondary settings are made by this script.
