Command line
To apply patches from the command line:
-
Upload the local file into the
<Magento_root>
directory on the server using FTP, SFTP, SSH, or your normal transport method. -
Log into the server as the admin user and verify that the file is in the correct directory.
-
In the command-line interface, run the following commands according to the patch extension:
patch < patch_file_name.patch
The command assumes the file to be patched is located relative to the patch file.
NOTE
If the command line shows:File to patch:
, it means it cannot locate the intended file, even if the path seems correct. In the box displayed in the command-line terminal, the first line shows the file to be patched. Copy the file path and paste it into theFile to patch:
prompt and pressEnter
and the patch should complete. -
For the changes to be reflected, refresh the cache in the Admin under System > Tools > Cache Management.
Alternatively, the patch can be applied locally with the same command, then committed and pushed normally.
