Before You Begin

  • To be able to use this method of upgrading, your Drupal site must have been created via Installatron or imported into Installatron.
  • Please note that if you installed the Drupal application via Installatron with the update automatically setting, you will not need to go through these steps, as Installat ron will update the site as soon as the new release is posted.
  • Important!!! Installatron will overwrite your .htaccess and robots.txt files.  If you have made any changes to them, be sure to back the m up before upgrading so that you can restore your custom changes after the upgrade is done.
  • Be sure that your Drupal website is configured in Installatron.
