welcome here

After installing moodle from the contrib you have v1.9.x IIRC. Then follow the generic upgrade instructions on the moodle website to upgrade to a later version eg v2.2.4 IIRC. There are a number of supported moodle versions so select one to suit your needs & match your hardware and operating system program versions. Read the requirements for each moodle version

I know v little about Moodle, but came across this web-page where there were some very well written notes on eGroupware. I remembered that there was a second section on Moodle - perhaps they are equally well written (it doesn't cover installation, sorry).

hi
i have got moodle working in an ibay, but it will not let me write any files, i have changed properties of folders, but it still will not let me upload any files.
any ideas? Suspect it has some thing to do with httpd,conf, but not sure how to fix it.
Version 2.2.10, works on sme 8
Any later version will have to wait for SME 9, Will try this coming week with sme 9
thanks

Hi
I am trying to upgrade from 1.93 to 2.2. I haven't had much look. As there is no data in the moodle I think it is going to be better to do a fresh install of 2.2 if this is possible
Could you point me in the right direction to install moodle 2.2 from scratch?
Thankyou in advance

hi antdickens
are you trying to install to an ibay, if so how far have you got, then i can help, but i still haven't got it working correctly when trying to upload docs or photos
apart from that it works great.

Hi
I installed as per the wiki, but there was an issue with php being to new a version.
It is not in an ibay, it is in the opt directory?
-
ok i haven't managed to get it working in the opt directory either.
but if you create an ibay, eg moodle2
then download from the moodle web site, unzip then load into the html folder, then run smeserver/moodle2 it should work, Version 2.2.10
let me know if you want other help
thanks

sme 8 has php 5.3.3 and mysql 5.0.95
so the most recent version of Moodle that is compatible with sme8 is
v2.2.11
which is now already no longer being supported by Moodle.
So until sme8 gets a newer version of mysql or sme9 arrives we will have to live with that.
see
http://download.moodle.org/
link=topic=49826.msg251220#msg251220 date=1374148615]
When upgrading it really is a simple matter of moving existing files and replacing with the new set of files from the newer Moodle version.
see Moodle docs
http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/?lang=en
and generic installation
http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Installing_Moodle
and Generic upgrade instructions
http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Upgrading
Please learn to read & search the web site for the application.
Also you will need to follow this
http://wiki.contribs.org/Uploadtmpdir
and do some other tweaks for upload settings, refer db settings Howtos & common db settings re PHP
see http://wiki.contribs.org/PHP
and http://wiki.contribs.org/DB_Variables_Configuration#Php

I see your other post about having created a rpm for Moodle 2.5 & wanting to create a contrib, good on you !
http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,50079.0.html
From the Moodle download site at http://download.moodle.org/ newer versions of php & mysql are required than what sme8 currently uses by default.
Moodle 2.5.1+ or 2.5.1 Requires: PHP 5.3.3, MySQL 5.1.33 ....
SME8 Has: php 5.3.3 and mysql 5.0.95
So what did you do, upgrade mysql ?
This may risk breaking sme server when other upgrades are done (or it may be OK too) have you tested this ?

Hey Janet,
So we enabled InnoDB in the server and installed mySQL 5.5. Then we added InnoDB templates to my.cnf to make mySQL 5.5 work on SME8
I've layed out the steps in my Annouce post here: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,50081.0.html
As a matter of testing and stability: Initial impressions are that both moodle and SME8 functions as desired. I believe you have a point when mySQL updates are refreshed and we would not want to do this, esp when SME9 comes with a more recent mySQL version than SME8. Said that, this is the only intermediate solution we could think of.
Let me know your thoughts.
