What is the safe way?

Thank you for your help

Hi,

I would reinstall it

@solution Just saw this question and answer last night, I think, and as I recall the answer was to reinstall 2.6 and restore a config file from 2.6 since 2.7 has a higher config version.

Or just stay on 2.7-dev until it is released, presumably in late May give or take.

I would like to avoid reinstallation as it is in production at a remote location.
I don't use dev in production but when the intern heard "upgrade" he selected 2.7.

If anyone has already successfully downgraded please share it with us.

Thank you very much.

Do NOT attempt a downgrade. That is highly likely to go badly at this point since the 2.7 DEVELOPMENT tree code is now a bit different from the 2.6.0 production code. Maybe on the same day or the next day after 2.6.0 was released a downgrade might have been fine, but not at this point in the cycle.

So obtain a current config backup and do the full reinstall. Unless you trust your intern at the site, sounds like a road trip is in your near future .
