I tried updating my Drupal 8.3.7 to 8.5.1 unsuccessfully so I reluctantly decided to just install a clean instance of Drupal 8.5.1 and copy/paste my content from my old site to my new. I notice that the views I created in 8.3.7 had this option:
REST EXPORT SETTINGS Provide a REST export
and my 8.5.1 instance no longer has this option. In the previous version I was able to set up a path, like "/api/alerts"
I'm looking for options for using Drupal 8 as a system for generating "flat" output, so the end result is something like the old Static Generator module's -- content providers log in to Drupal to update content, but the public website would have only flat files (HTML, JS, CSS, etc.), and could be hosted on something very simple like Amazon S3.
I have updated the core to 8.5.1. I'm using Linux.
I found this error.
PUBLIC FILES DIRECTORY
Not fully protected
See https://www.drupal.org/SA-CORE-2013-003 for information about the recommended .htaccess file which should be added to the directory to help protect against arbitrary code execution.
changed the permission of .htaccess. Didn't resolve.
I have updated the core to 8.5.1. I'm using Centos.
I found these errors and warnings.
FILE SYSTEM
Writable (private download method)
The directory /sites/default/files does not exist. You may need to set the correct directory at the file system settings page or change the current directory's permissions so that it is writable.
