Hi Neha,

You can't upgrade from Moodle 2.0.1 to Moodle 2.9 directly. So your first step is to upgrade to Moodle 2.2.11. You can find those instructions here: https://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Upgrading

You can find the download for Moodle 2.2.11 on this page: https://download.moodle.org/releases/legacy/

Important things to note:

  • Check the server requirements. As you move forward, Moodle requires newer versions of PHP and MySQL so you will need to upgrade your WAMP environment in addition to Moodle.
  • Check your plugins. Anything you've added beyond core Moodle will also likely need an upgrade. Make sure those plugins are available in the version you want to upgrade to.
  • Back up everything. If your Moodle upgrade fails or something doesn't work properly after the upgrade, the only way to downgrade is to restore your backup.
  • Read the upgrade document for each version of Moodle you're skipping. Just because you're skipping that version doesn't mean the changes in it don't apply. Depending on how you use Moodle, there may be additional upgrade steps required in an intermediate version that you will still need to apply even if you skip that version.

Of course those are all part of the instructions. Note that it is simpler to incrementally upgrade rather than dealing with 9 upgrades at once, even if you do it in 2 steps.

I'd highly recommend that you create a copy of your Moodle website (see "Moodle Migration") and test the upgrades first.

The Moodle question engine was rewritten in 2.1 so if you have a lot of quiz attempts you need to prepare for the upgrade of the question data for those quiz attempts.

The Assignment module was completely rewritten in Moodle 2.3, so if you have a lot of assignment submissions you need to prepare for the upgrade of those  assignment submissions.

The Moodle Theme engine had a major upgrade in 2.5, so you'll need to upgrade your theme or find a new 2.5 compatible Bootstrap-based theme.

So, depending on how much student data and courses you have, your upgrade could be very big. If so, it's probably best to tackle it in several steps.

Read the Release Notes for each version carefully to work out just how big your upgrade will be and what you must do to complete it successfully - https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Category:Release_notes
