Delete the old file, then click Save

In the Community edition, you can update drivers only on the server. For details, see Driver Management.

UI freeze or SSO stuck¶
If the UI looks normal but never updates, or SSO/login hangs, check if WebSockets are working:
- In your browser, open DevTools -> Network
-
Filter by ws. You should see a
ws://<your-domain>/api/ws
orwss://<your-domain>/api/ws
request with status 101 Switching ProtocolsInfo
- if you see 101 and the connection stays open -> WebSockets are working
- if it’s missing, shows errors like 404/502/503, or closes quickly -> the proxy or firewall may be blocking WebSockets
-
If the connection closes quickly, increase proxy or load balancer timeouts
For details, see WebSockets.
