Hi
Just looking for pearls of wisdom on this
I have to put moodle 1.9.18 into maintenance ready for a moodle march from 1.9.18 >1.9.19>2.1.13>2.3+>2.7+>2.9+
Now I understand that prior to Moodle 2.0 there wasnt a CLI maintenance mode, so I will need to create a maintenance.html file and place it in the "1" folder in the moodledata folder in order to put Moodle 1.9 into mode
My question really is does this "1" folder remain through all the moodle upgrade steps or should I, only have this file in place until moodle 2.0 and then remove it and put the site into CLI maintenance mode??
Also there is a couple stages where I will have to get to the moodle app in the browser as various new settings have to be set, not least the quiz and question engine upgrades and the assignment upgrades at certain stages.
I am thinking whilst typing and now realize that the CLI maintenance mode might not be such a good idea as at various stages I will need browser intervention in this March. So if this is the case will original maintenance.html work right through the upgrade march?
Where is Ken
