drupal 8 updaten zu neuer Version - welche Verzeichnisse?

MINOR AND PATCH VERSION UPDATES
-------------------------------
To update from one 8.x.x version of Drupal to any later 8.x.x version, after
following the instructions in the INTRODUCTION section at the top of this file:

1. Log in as a user with the permission "Administer software updates".

2. Go to Administration > Configuration > Development > Maintenance mode.
Enable the "Put site into maintenance mode" checkbox and save the
configuration.

3. Remove the 'core' and 'vendor' directories. Also remove all of the files
in the top-level directory, except any that you added manually.

If you made modifications to files like .htaccess, composer.json, or
robots.txt you will need to re-apply them from your backup, after the new
files are in place.

Sometimes an update includes changes to default.settings.php (this will be
noted in the release notes). If that's the case, follow these steps:

- Locate your settings.php file in the /sites/* directory. (Typically
sites/default.)

- Make a backup copy of your settings.php file, with a different file name.

- Make a copy of the new default.settings.php file, and name the copy
settings.php (overwriting your previous settings.php file).

- Copy the custom and site-specific entries from the backup you made into the
new settings.php file. You will definitely need the lines giving the
database information, and you will also want to copy in any other
customizations you have added.

You can find the release notes for your version at
https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal. At bottom of the project page under
"Downloads" use the link for your version of Drupal to view the release
notes. If your version is not listed, use the 'View all releases' link. From
this page you can scroll down or use the filter to find your version and its
release notes.

4. Download the latest Drupal 8.x.x release from https://www.drupal.org to a
directory outside of your web root. Extract the archive and copy the files
into your Drupal directory.

On a typical Unix/Linux command line, use the following commands to download
and extract:

wget https://www.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-x.y.z.tar.gz
tar -zxvf drupal-x.y.z.tar.gz

This creates a new directory drupal-x.y.z/ containing all Drupal files and
directories. Copy the files into your Drupal installation directory:

cp -R drupal-x.y.z/* drupal-x.y.z/.htaccess /path/to/your/installation

If you do not have command line access to your server, download the archive
from https://www.drupal.org using your web browser, extract it, and then use
an FTP client to upload the files to your web root.

5. Re-apply any modifications to files such as .htaccess, composer.json, or
robots.txt.

6. Run update.php by visiting http://www.example.com/update.php (replace
www.example.com with your domain name). This will update the core database
tables.

If you are unable to access update.php do the following:

- Open settings.php with a text editor.

- Find the line that says:
$settings['update_free_access'] = FALSE;

- Change it into:
$settings['update_free_access'] = TRUE;

- Once the upgrade is done, $settings['update_free_access'] must be
reverted to FALSE.

7. Go to Administration > Reports > Status report. Verify that everything is
working as expected.

8. Ensure that $settings['update_free_access'] is FALSE in settings.php.

9. Go to Administration > Configuration > Development > Maintenance mode.
Disable the "Put site into maintenance mode" checkbox and save the
configuration.
