Message on my stat screen said my site was not yet upgraded to 5.0. So I executed the command to upgrade and now it does not work. I didn’t know what to try, so I downloaded the 5.0 and flashed it to the sd card. Still nothing. Not that tech advanced but no incapable either, but dont know what to do next. The Pi is a 3B
Please elaborate on what you mean by “does not work”.

I see the map but no planes. Pos, rings nexrad ets all show.
The log says it is empty. I get the feeling it just continues to attempt to re-boot.
all three ip’s I Get error message on bottom of screen " Problem fetching data from dump1090.
AJAX call failed (timeout: timeout). Maybe dump1090 is no longer running?
The displayed map data will be out of date.
Pi lights are mostly solid rd and occaision flashes of green.
What is the output of this command
journalctl -u dump1090-fa -n 20 --no-pager
I am juming in here (sorry), because I have the same problem. My Pi is a Zero W.
IP-OF-PI - “Placeholder page”?
IP-OF-PI:8080 - PiAware SkyAware map centered over nothern Italy!? (I live in Sweden).
IP-OF-PI/skyaware/ - PiAware SkyAware map centered over nothern Italy!? (I live in Sweden).
When i run journalctl -u dump1090-fa - n 20 --no-pager I get this:

Your dump1090-fa seems working OK.
If you move the map to Sweden, do you see any aircraft?
Yes, I can see some aircraft.
sudo systemctl restart piaware
sudo systemctl restart dump1090-fa
Go to skyaware map in browser, and reload browser (Ctrl+F5)
Hopefully you will see all OK. If not, check your Flightaware stats page (My-ADSB). Are 3 buttons green or red?
I still have to move the map to my location, which b t w is not displayed. There are some aicrafts displayed. When I go in to stats page, all buttons are red.
You have NOT set feeder ID after upgrade.
STEP-1:
Go to My-ADSB stats page and copy the feeder-id (Unique Identifier), as shown in red rectangle in screenshot below.
STEP-2:
Issue following command to set your feeder-id.
(Replace xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx by Unique Identifer you have copied from My-ADSB stats page.
sudo piaware-config feeder-id xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
sudo systemctl restart piaware
sudo systemctl restart dump1090-fa
Now check map again. Reload browser Ctrl+F5. Now the rings will be centered at your location 
After 5 minutes, check stats page My-ADSB. All 3 buttons should be green now.

I have the same problem No Aircraft
Luckily I downloaded it to a new SD
I just went back to the old SD ver 4
I’ll just live with the reminder until you sort it out
Then the likelihood is extremely high you did something wrong.
Fresh installs have no record of not working in regards to this version.
Please brows the How-to linked below. May be you will discover what you missed or did wrong.
Another possibility is that downloaded image was corrupted or write of image to new SD card got corrupted. I would suggest you again download the ver 5 image, and write newly downloaded image to new microSD card.
How to Install and Configure Piaware 5.0 SD card image - Quickstart Guide
I cannot Putty into the device. Both wireless and ethernet. Putty just times out. first time using putty but I am assuming I did all correctly. Wireless did not connect to router but wired did. So I tried with that IP and just times out on connection. I replaced the SD card thinking that may be it since I had the same troubles others reported about Etcher writing and verifying sd. Etcher completed and verified on new SD, but I don’t think device is running
You have ssh enabled adding a text file named ssh in the boot partition?
Did you wait 5 min after connecting it?
Did ping work?

Appreciate your help, and patience. I did find one stupid mistake that fixed the wifi issue and now I can see the log. I have 3 green on MLAT, but show no planes and log says 0 messages sent.
