hi,
i just wanted to upgrad to the version 1.3 using cvs. because i'm a linux beginner i installed a test version of the moodle 1.2.1 in a directory called "mdl"

after that i tried to upgrade this version to 1.3 using the cvs.

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/moodle login

works, fine but

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/moodle co moodle

just makes me a new folder called moodle in my "mdl" folder, did not update the data in the mdl folder,

i guess i just dont understand the cvs correct.

TIA

Harald

Rename your mdl directory to mdl_temp

mv mdl mdl_temp

Check out the CVS 'moodle' directory

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/moodle co moodle

Copy moodle to mdl

mv moodle mdl

Copy config.php across:

cp mdl_temp/config.php mdl

Go the admin page in Moodle to upgrade.

Next time, you can upgrade by going into the mdl folder

cd mdl

and entering this:

cvs update -dP
