Moodle 2
available now!
There’s no need to visit a store and pay for software. You can start enjoying the cool features of Moodle 2 in three easy steps...
Step 1: Make sure that your server can run Moodle 2.2
Go to Settings > Site administration > Server > Environment
Status OK for everything? Great! Go to step 2...
Note: You need to upgrade to Moodle 2.2 before upgrading to 2.3.
Step 2: Be prepared for failure
As usual with any large upgrade, you should always be prepared to "roll back" if there's an issue with your data or some custom code you've added.
- A test install
- We highly advise you make a copy of your production site to practice the upgrade on first. That way, if you run into any problems that need fixing you won't affect your main site.
- Always make backups
- When upgrading your production instance, make sure you have copies of everything, just in case. Full instructions are here: Site backup.
Step 3: Replace your old Moodle code with new Moodle 2.2 code
To upgrade Moodle all you need to do is replace the code and then run the upgrade scripts.
