Hi there,
I tried upgrading from version 3.1 to version 3.6 but i'm getting error reading from database...
Anyone knows the solution?
Not unless you tell us the exact error...
I have updated from 3.1 to 3.6 and now i can login to site but after login it goes to plugins page to upgrade, then i have only one choice and that upgrade moodle database now (screenshot attached), after clicking for upgrading database i get the error reading from database...
Ok... but what *exactly* does the error message say?
Even better - enable Debugging in config.php first.
I have added these lines to config.php in order to get debugging info and the results are shown in screenshots.
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
$CFG->debug = (E_ALL | E_STRICT);
$CFG->debugdisplay = 1;
Right....
* that priority field was added to the event table in Moodle 3.3
* The code that has failed was added as a result of https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-59042
Hmmm..... Will need to have a think about this.
Have you thought about trying to install a second brand new Moodle on your server in order to prove that a new version of Moodle 3.6 will work? Then, if it works, you can start trying to add your various Moodle plugins to verify that they work, until you get to the point that your new Moodle matches your old, except for user data.
Hey Rick,
Thanks for your response,
which version do you recommend?
I have Moodle 3.6.3+ (Build: 20190328) installed. I don't know about recommendations, I just try to stay current. This is the current "download" version on Moodle.org.
I have no clue about how what you are doing. Others might. For me, I would need much more detail.
This is the scenario:
1- I got backup from moodle db, moodledata and www directory...
2- I replaced moodle directory with version 3.6 and continued with the setup on browser.
3- Gave me errors and i thought it might be for the versions of php and mysql so i updated both.
I have phpmyadmin working and i can login as admin to moodle but it goes directly to the plugin upgrade page and other users just get a error reading from database message after login.
Now i'm struggling with this problem for a month and i can't find any logical solution.
I'll be thankful for any help...
If you are getting messages like this they are usually true.
The database has been upgraded to a version newer than the code you have installed.
If you are getting really muddled up with the versions of code vs. the version of your Moodle in your database it's not surprising you are having these problems.
I hope you have working backups!!!
I have backup from moodle db, moodledata and www folder but the problem is need to upgrade and that doesn't make a difference...
Hello, I would upgrade in 2 stages.
Go from 3.1 to 3.3, then 3.3 to 3.6.
Make sure you backup at each stage (just in case).

Hi Lewis,
I am planning an upgrade from 3.1 to 3.6 as well. I'm curious if you have a particular reason why upgrade to 3.3 first, instead of 3.4?
thanks.
Login to your moodle and go to Admin Menu -> Server -> Environment.
Update component.
Set pick list to the versions of moodle higher than what you are running now an observe the red and yellow checks. There's your roadmap for a 'march'.
3.1 -> 3.2 PHP 5.6.5 Min.
3.3 -> 3.4 PHP 7.0.x Min.
3.5 -> 3.6 PHP 7.0.x Min. + MySQL 5.6 Min
3.6 -> 3.8upwards ... ditto
When you see a required it means you must make that PHP/MySQL upgrade prior to attempting the Moodle upgrade.

thanks this is really helpful.
