Moodle 2.0 is in beta status and is relatively stable but still not suitable for a production server.   It includes some major changes. See [[Roadmap]] for outline of changes and links.
We advise that you test the upgrade first on a COPY of your production site, to make sure it works as you expect.

==Upgrading more than one version==
In general, it is recommended to upgrade via each version of Moodle, for example 1.8 -> 1.9 -> 2.0. An exception to this is when upgrading from 1.5 or 1.6, when it is recommended that 1.7 be skipped, in other words upgrade 1.5 -> 1.6 -> 1.8 -> 1.9 -> 2.0. (The main reason for this recommendation is that the default roles settings obtained when upgrading to 1.7 are not ideal for 1.8 onwards.)

Template:Moodle 2.0When upgrading to Moodle 2.0, you must have Moodle 1.9 or later. if you are using an earlier version of Moodle (eg 1.8.x) then you need to upgrade to Moodle 1.9.x first.

We advise that you test the upgrade first on a COPY of your production site, to make sure it works as you expect.


Before upgrading please...

  • Always check your site to make sure it meets all system requirements for 2.0 in Administration > Server > Environment
  • Do a full database backup!
  • Remember to purge PHP cache if using any PHP accelerator

Now upgrade

Once you have satisfied the requirements for Moodle 2.0, follow the instructions on the upgrading page.

Note, if you get a strange error about 'handling of PHP float numbers', please see this FAQ entry.

Verify the upgrade (optional)

If you wish to confirm that the database definitions in the upgraded database match the definitions of a new, clean install (which they should) you might like to look at Verify Database Schema.
