UPGRADING $Id$
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
As Moodle grows, there are changes to the code and
|
|
sometimes changes to the database structures.
|
|
|
|
Moodle is able to upgrade its own databases, using
|
|
information in files called version.php. There is
|
|
one of these for the main tables (in this directory)
|
|
and one for each module.
|
|
|
|
When upgrading from any previous version of Moodle,
|
|
all you normally will need to do is this:
|
|
|
|
1) Make a backup of your current Moodle installation
|
|
in the unlikely case that something goes wrong and
|
|
you need to restore the older version.
|
|
|
|
2a) If you are using CVS, just go the root directory
|
|
and type "cvs update -d" (or whatever the equivalent
|
|
is on your non-Unix server).
|
|
|
|
OR
|
|
|
|
2b) Remove the current installation, and then unpack
|
|
the new tar or zip file in the same location.
|
|
Make sure you copy the config.php file from your
|
|
old installion to the new installation (or make a
|
|
new one by editing config-dist.php).
|
|
|
|
3) Visit the home page of your installation. Moodle
|
|
will automatically detect the new version and perform
|
|
any database upgrades that might be necessary.
|
|
|
|
If all goes well (no error messages) then you can just
|
|
go on using Moodle normally.
|
|
|
|
If you have problems with this procedure, let me know.
