witch Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 How easy is it to upgrade Moodle, and can anyone give me how to do it in easy steps? I am very worried about crashing what we have! I will obviously back it up first but even so. All advice gratefully received
Butters Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 What version are you upgrading to and from which version?
witch Posted May 20, 2011 Author Posted May 20, 2011 Upgrading to the latest version whatever that is from, er, 1.9 (I think - how would I find out?)_
Butters Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Go to Site Administration -> Notifications. Should say somewhere in there, also it would be wise to get a screenshot of the following so I can tell you what will/wont work post upgrade as Moodle 2.0 upgrade is essentially a large upgrade and some stuff might not work. Site Administration -> Modules -> Blocks -> Manage Blocks Site Administration -> Modules -> Activities -> Manage Activities
witch Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 Cant get the screenshots to work! Is there no hope for me? Can I email you?
GrumbleDook Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 The move from 1.9 to 2.0x is the same as like going from CC3 to CC4 ... Or server 2003 to 2008. It is nit just a simple upgrade. Ideally, I would recommend you create a test build of the same version you are running now and upgrade that, getting staff who build the courses and user to test it first. It all depends on which modules and blocks you use, how much there is on it already and how bespoke some if the templates / tools are.
witch Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 Which is why I needed the screenshots, I suspect. I don't have anything to do with it - it is all done by the ICT co-ord so I am in the dark here. This is it: Lockyer's Middle
witch Posted June 6, 2011 Author Posted June 6, 2011 I am still struggling with this: Can anyone offer me a bit more help? someone local who could come and do it for a fee would be even better!!
Butters Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 I'm nowhere even close to you but if you get me a temporary admin account I'll take a look for you. Although to be honest, the migration isn't easy and at this stage it's better to stick with 1.9 until next year.

Butters Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 As it gives the developers of third party modules time to catch up. Also your theme will not work come the upgrade so will have to be re-done to suit.
mrweekender Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Check this out >> Upgrading to Moodle 2.0 - MoodleDocs << should give you the info you need.
witch Posted June 24, 2011 Author Posted June 24, 2011 Right - we now have a moodle upgraded 'mock' site to play with. No, I didnt do it - I got someone else to do it for me! Question - the new version has 'private files'- how easy would it be to redirect this to the user's 'My Documents' as that would be very useful.
