Upgrading Dreamfactory within Gold

SSH into your DreamFactory Gold server

Once you're in your DreamFactory Gold instance, you'll need access to /var/www.

First, we will upgrade the DreamFactory "Base" installation for all of your Gold instances. Navigate to /var/www/launchpad

1. • If you're updating to the latest version, you'll checkout the master tag. If you're moving to a specific version number, you'll checkout that version number as the tag.

   • $ git checkout master

   • If you have unsaved changes, you'll receive a message indicating which files have changes in them. You will need to stash the changes.
     • You must do this step BEFORE checkout if you have made changes to or replaced any files in the main DreamFactory repo (such as changes to composer.json.)

     • $ git stash

     • Repeat the checkout step.
2. Pull the latest from git (again, using the appropriate tag -- master or version number).

   • $ git pull origin master

3. Reset permission on storage/ and bootstrap/cache/
   • Bitnami local installs can skip this step. Bitnami cloud images, VMs, and manual installs will typically need to perform this step.

   • $ sudo chown -R {web service user}:{your user group} storage/ bootstrap/cache/

   • $ sudo chmod -R 2775 storage/ bootstrap/cache/

4. Use Composer to update all the vendor repos.

   • $ composer install --no-dev

5. Migrate the database.

   • $ php artisan migrate --seed

6. If upgrading from DreamFactory 2.0 or 2.1 to DreamFactory 2.2 or higher, migrate the old service types to the new ones (add the --pretend option to see what it will change).

   • $ php artisan dreamfactory:service-type-migrate

7. Clear the application cache.

   • $ php artisan cache:clear
