I found someone still using moodle 1.5.3. I found nothing 1.5 related anymore on the download page. Should I try to upgrade it to 1.6.9 then on and on until 2.3?
Hi Frank
Few details to what Howard already said:
- 1.5 -> 1.6 -> 1.9
Almost compulsory, since 1.9 is the oldest version still supported.
- 1.9 -> 2.2
Do a test (parallel) migration first. Moodle 2 is something completely different from Moodle 1. The owner your Moodle may or may not like the new ideas.
Here's the documentation:
- http://docs.moodle.org/en/Upgrade
- http://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Upgrading_to_Moodle_1.6
- http://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Upgrading_to_Moodle_1.9
- http://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Upgrading_to_Moodle_2.2

Thanks guys your help has been invaluable. However I'm stuck at processing role assignments with moodle 1.6 -> 1.9 upgrade. It's like my browser timeout waiting for it. It only get to process like 9000 role assignments before it times out. IS there anything I can do to extend the session timeout?
Hi Frank,
The following info might help:
http://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Administration_FAQ#How_to_change_the_maximum_execution_time
That's I had to go with an execution time of 6000 for script go past that processing roles part.
Now it's just stuck at (mysql): ALTER TABLE mdl_quiz MODIFY COLUMN timelimit BIGINT(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 after timemodified with a SUCCESS in GREEN at the bottom. SO I guess techically the script is finished even though it hasn't reached its max execution time.
Ok - Debugging, check your error logs etc etc
Now might be a good time to give us some detail about your system and the versions of PHP, MySQL etc etc.
PS - I deleting your other thread for the same problem. All the info is here, so it just cconfuses things
I decided to go through 1.7 and 1.8 first before getting to 1.9.
I have mysql-5 php-5 and Apache2 running. It's a debian squeeze server.
Max_execution time is set at 6000 so my scripts don't get cut off.
php_memory is set to 380 for the moment to make sure I have enough for the migrations.
After the upgrade to 1.7 completed smoothly. I lost my administrator priviledges. So I have to resolve that before I can continue.
Please confirm that you set up Debugging... I'm saying this because it matters not because I enjoy typing it. Often a small warning that would otherwise not be displayed can make all the difference. Keep a close eye on your error logs too.
You might have to do some database schema checking/cleaning but let's call that a last resort at the moment
Can we get the *exact* versions of MySQL and PHP please. PHP, in particular, is reasonably version critical (but debugging would show the problem, most likely).

Reason? The advice was go to 1.9 from 1.6 in one step: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=209636#p914022.
