How do I update drupal modules that I have downloaded from drupal.org

[gitesh]

For an on-prem developer portal :

Basically you want to make sure that the Update module is enabled and then you download the modules using drush.

Make sure you take a backup of you developer portal codebase /var/www/html and the mysql database.

SSH into the developer portal and run the following commands:

cd /var/www/html

drush en update

drush pm-update -y

drush updb -y

drush cc all

For a pantheon hosted developer portal:

You can follow steps from this pantheon article :

New to Apigee. We tried to update the pantheon hosted portal in the manner described in the link above but we are missing the 'Update' tab in our instance and so step 7 is not possible. If anyone has any insight into why this would be, please let me know. Else I'll open a support ticket. Thanks!

Hi Owen,

Can you update the settings.php and change

$conf['allow_authorize_operations'] = FALSE;

to

$conf['allow_authorize_operations'] = TRUE;

This settings controls if the updates can be downloaded using the admin interface.

Thanks,

Gitesh Koli

Is there an easy way to do this for a non-networked instance? Other than moving the whole system around as a tarball.
