Ok - I think I have fundamentally misunderstood this so would appreciate a pointer in the right direction:
I have a Moodle 2 install on my laptop - the Moodle 2 dev for Windows from here http://download.moodle.org/windows/ and it works just fine on http://localhost.
It's a few weeks old though so I figured to upgrade it I would just download the latest version, rename my current moodle folder in the "server" directory in the localhost install to "moodleOLD", and the move in the new "moodle" folder. Then I would move the config.php file from the old "moodle" folder into the latest one.
But when I go to the URL and log in (it looks fine when not logged in ) I just get a blank page -albeit with the "you are logged in as admin" at the top. Going to any admin settings manually via the url -or even going to debugging just results other blank pages.
Where have I gone wrong?
It sounds like you are doing the right thing, but something must have gone wrong.
You should turn on Debugging to find out what error you are getting.

Well- I couldn't get to debugging directly via the URL so I tried pasting into config.php
$CFG->debug = 2047; $CFG->debugdisplay = 1; $CFG->debug = 6143; $CFG->debugdisplay = 1; but nothing has happened - should I have pasted it in a particular part
or should I have pasted something else?
