Talk:Upgrading

When using git to upgrade, what happens to plugins?

In my initial 5.1 migration tests using git, the plugins were left behind in the original locations -- i.e. not moved into the public facing directories. Should we add information about this on this page?

Good question Thom, thanks! There should be information about it in Upgrading. --Helen Foster (talk) 08:39, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

Code Restructure for shared hosting?

Apache and nginx are covered but changing the doc root may not be possible for shared hosting. Is this to be done using rewrite rules?

Thanks James for asking about this, and thanks Huong for for writing an upgrading guide for shared hosting. I have moved your text to a new page Code directories restructure on shared hosting. --Helen Foster (talk) 08:39, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

Update: James, I just noticed that you added a section Shared Hosting to Upgrading - many thanks! We'll review 'Code directories restructure on shared hosting' and move any info if necessary then redirect the page. --Helen Foster (talk)

Routing on IIS

This https://docs.moodle.org/503/en/Upgrading#Routing page mentions support for Routing in Apache, nginx and OpenLiteSpeed. Is Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) supported? If it is, then a section should be added for IIS. If not, then the page should specifically specify that this Routing doc does not apply to IIS.
