Your best approach is going to be to download and upload the upgrade, not rely on their updater, which is more problematic than anything

Hi @jvwjgames,

The error "Failed to perform early file copy during WHMCS file relocation: init.php" means that the auto-updater was unable to move the init.php file.

Please adjust the permissions and ownership of this file so it can be manipulated by a PHP script.
