5.7.0.4 upgrading

Permalink
Can we upgrade from 5.7.0.3 to 5.7.0.4 by copying the new concrete directory up and running something by url like we could in 5.6. I have been doing fresh installs up until now, but have one site I would like to upgrade, but I don't like filling the upgrade directory with lots of files.

thanks

Ok, so there are 2 answers,

if you installed with 7.0.3 to get to 7.0.4 you can simply remove the old concrete directory and paste in the new one like you could previously, and then navigate to 
index.php/ccm/system/upgrade


if you installed a version previous to 7.0.3 and upgraded to that due to a bug you also have to edit a file before visiting the url.

open /application/config/generated_overrides/concrete.php

in the array, add:
'version_installed' => '5.7.0.3',

so the file will look something like:

<?php
/**
 * -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Generated 2014-09-30T18:20:51-04:00
 * @item      version_installed
 * @group     concrete
 * @namespace null
 * -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 */
return array(
    'site' => 'Testing',
    'version_installed' => '5.7.0.3',
    'misc' => array(
        'access_entity_updated' => 1412114988,
        'latest_version' => '5.6.3.1',
Viewing 15 lines of 18 lines. View entire code block.

(it may not look exactly like that, the important line is the version_installed)

once that line is in place you can then visit the url like normal to upgrade.
