Problem upgrading from 1.9 to 2.2.1

Problem upgrading from 1.9 to 2.2.1

Hi all

I am moving my Moodle to another server.

My previous Moodle (1.9) is working absolutely fine. LDAP/SSO on MYSQL.

I backed everything up from the old server:

Sever 2003/MYSQL/IIS6

Installed onto new server:

Server 2008R2/MySQL/IIS7.5

The old moodle when installed onto this is working just fine.

I downloaded the 2.2.1 ZIP, backed up my config.php, put 1.9 into maintenance mode.

Moved the Moodle(1.9) folder out of wwwroot

Unzipped the 2.2.1 and copied the moodle(2.2.1) to wwwroot

copied the old config.php to the new folder

Set up IIS7.5 for NTLM/SSO as per 1.9

Now when I browse to my new moodle server I am presented with this screen:

Notice that I am not logged in, every time I click Logn, I am brought back to this screen. I can not login.

If I click Continue, it then tells me I meet all the minimum requirements (even though I am not logged in)

If I then click continue, I am taken to a blank screen with nothing happening.

Page is moodle/admin/index.php?confirmupgrade=1&confirmrelease=1

I have tried this both on the local server, and on another pc. Using IE or Firefox I get the same problem.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

 

Regards

 

Paul

Forget about the logging on business. That's nothing to do with it. It's the blank screen you should worry about.

I take it you have read...

http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Upgrading_to_Moodle_2.2

http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Moodle_2.2_release_notes

http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Moodle_2.2_release_notes ???

If that doesn't turn anything up, the next stage is to modify your config.php to turn on debugging. You will find the relevant lines in section 8 of config-dist.php.

Do you get any error messages now?

yes I have read those pages.

 

My PHP is 5.3

My MySQL is 5.5.20

I turned debugging on and will report my findings.

Ok with the help of the debugger, I found that our version of the MIS blocks was not compatible with Moodle 2, I have removed them and the upgrade appears to be working.

 

Thanks

However, the upgrade does not work!

When I go through the screens, it then gives me the message that it is updating and try again later.

So when I come back later (is in the next day) It starts the whole thing again.

 

Any ideas?

Can you copy/paste this "try again later" message? That's a new one on me.

I think I know the message you mean... it just locks you out while it is processing the upgrade. What did it eventually do after you left it for a day and went through the process again? Make sure not to refresh pages in the middle and just let it go through...

On another note - you should really upgrade to the latest 2.0 first and then 2.1 and then 2.2. Jumping straight in could be the original issue. That and the MIS block you mention. How did that get in there?
