looking to upgrade from 1.8.4 to .6
is it ok to useĀ Softaculous ?

Thanks
It's best to manually upgrade as Softaculous is known to cause issues while upgrading.
what kind of issues?

thanks
Issues with database migrations not being executed, files not being correctly overwritten, etc. Manually upgrading takes only a few minutes and is a lot safer than relying on an automated script.
I tried once with the automatic upgrade, blew the board apart..

Best to use the FTP, upgrade will be done in a matter of minutes..
