==Before upgrading, please...==
 
* Check that your site meets all system requirements for 1.9 in ''Administration > Server > [[Environment]]''
* Do a full database backup!
* Remember to purge PHP cache if using any PHP accelerator
* Read [[Upgrading to Moodle 1.8]] if you are upgrading to 1.9 from 1.6 or 1.7
* Read [[Upgrading to Moodle 1.7]] if you are upgrading from 1.6
 
===Notes===
* If upgrading from 1.6 or later, you must have converted your site to Unicode
* If upgrading from earlier than 1.6, we recommend upgrading to 1.6 first, then 1.9
* We recommend PHP 5.2 or later, but you must have at least PHP 4.0.16
 
==Now upgrade==
 
Once you have satisfied the requirements for Moodle 1.9, follow the instructions on the [[Upgrading|upgrading]] page.
 
==Front page activities==
 
To enable logged-in users to participate in front page activities, such as viewing the site news, the default front page role should be set to student in ''Administration > Front Page > [[Front Page settings]]''.
 
==Upgrading more than one version==
 
In general, it is recommended to upgrade via each version of Moodle, for example 1.7 -> 1.8 -> 1.9. An exception to this is when upgrading from 1.5 or 1.6, when it is recommended that 1.7 is skipped, in other words upgrade 1.5 -> 1.6 -> 1.8 -> 1.9. (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.)
