Is it safe to upgrade from 1.6.10 to 1.7.6 from the config?

Yes - here is the process that you will go through:

  1. Launch your DSP and go into admin console -> config -> hit upgrade (1.7.8)

*this pulls down the dsp_core

  1. If a white page pops up - append /web/logout to your dsp_url

  2. Go into your terminal and navigate to the /apps/dreamfactory/htdocs folder

  3. Important: note the owner:group of the folders/files within this folder

  4. Perform the following commands (based on the owner:group)

in this example we will have owner = root and group = daemon

sudo ./scripts/installer.sh
sudo chgrp -R daemon * .* 
sudo chown -R root config/ log/ vendor/ web/ storage/
  1. Restart Apache

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
