OS: RHEL 6.6

Moodle: 2.8

This server is running apache 2.2, php 5.5 and mysql 5.5.44.


I want to upgrade OS to RHEL 7.3 and Moodle to 3.1. 

On new server I would like to migrate mysql database to Mariadb.

I want to know what is the best strategy to achieve this. What should I upgrade first?

Upgrade moodle on current server, for 3.1 will take PHP 5.5 without any issue, when moving from MySQL to MariaDB, dont call it migration, instead it's a drop-in replacement, only thing you'll be changing is in config file of moodle, telling to use mariadb as DB driver instead of mySQL.
when you mention NEW SERVER, is it going to be on new hardware or just current server being upgraded?
