Notes --Chris collman 07:34, 29 October 2006 (CST)

Sorry for this ramble but... this page needs more work. My instincts don't like the instructions for using download archive, but I am not qualified. Suspect they are Moodle 1.0 .

For example, this section the instructions tell me to copy the old moodle to moodle-backup, then unpack moodle-latest to moodle-backup (that is what the mv command says I believe). Big issue not mentioned is that non-standard modules (Score Lock comes to mind) alters the SQL tables. While any non-standard module should not, who knows the ways a site may have been improved which will impact more than just the moodle files. We just have to be careful about being too specific and run up a huge red flag for those who like to jump off cliffs

This page starts off by refereing to installing 1.6 (good) for more specific instructions. I think the entire page needs to either be more generic with lots of links, and/or give general instructions as in a checklist. There are too many types of Moodle installations to get specific. How different are installs from updates? --Chris collman 07:46, 29 October 2006 (CST)


What does the below line mean?

You can also use the "Export" feature in Moodle's optional "Database" web interface to do the same thing on all platforms.

Is it a reference to PHPMyAdmin, maybe? If yes, then this might confuse people now that there is a Moodle module "Database" too, which is quite unrelated to the whole Moodle installation database... Samuli Karevaara 17:43, 15 April 2006 (WST)

I agree - this comes from a time space where there wasn't such a thing as a database module. I see that it is called MySQL Admin on the download pages these days - I'll update the page accordingly --Koen roggemans 18:37, 17 April 2006 (WST)
Okay, I see! Now, specially with the new descriptive text and a link, it makes a lot more sense :-) Samuli Karevaara 20:53, 18 April 2006 (WST)
