> Windows File Name.doc is not friendly to Linux.
Absurd! May be to Linux, but Moodle can handle _any_ unicode character in file names. Read "(Moodle 2.1.2) Problem with Unziping zip files that contain special characters" https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=190958. (Well, I am quoting others. So testing never hurts, or hurts less than without. ;)

Moodle in English -> General help -> [Moodle 2.9.2] Moving from Windows to Linux Server -> Re: [Moodle 2.9.2] Moving from Windows to Linux Server

Hi
You are lucky since you has MySQL also on the Windows side. So the "Moodle migration" should proceed as prescribed: https://docs.moodle.org/29/en/Moodle_migration.
P.S. Unless you plan to burn the Windows server immediately, the back-up is not urgent. You can take your own time testing the new Moodle instance!

In that case your migration path is:
A. 1.9.x > 1.9.final https://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Upgrading
B. 1.9.final > 2.2.final https://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Upgrading_to_Moodle_2.2
this is the trickiest one. People have given up site upgrades have done the workaround through https://docs.moodle.org/19/en/Course_backup and then https://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Course_restore. Yet others have rebuilt the courses from scratch, in Moodle 2 style!
C. 2.2.final > 2.7.latest https://docs.moodle.org/27/en/Upgrading
D. 2.7.latest > 3.1.latest https://docs.moodle.org/31/en/Upgrading
In any case plan a lot of time. You are going to jump across 12 full version of a software! The final updates to 1.9 came out over four years ago. And if you were happily using 1.9 so long, I don't see an urgent reason (other than forced by the Moodle developers) to long jump to 3.1.

See https://docs.moodle.org/21/en/Upgrading.
Wait: Is there a specific reason why you need 2.1? The usual upgrade path is 1.9.x > 1.9.latest > 2.2.latest > so on.
And, don't skip the first step, back up every thing and test the backup!

Hi
You said:
> Now I'm no longer able to install new Moodle - instance (i.e Releases I downloaded from Moodle) e.g. for test purposes.
How did you proceed? Where you had to stop? Why?
> What is more , there are plugins in other Moodle-Instances that are not working properly.
So you installed this and "other Moodle instances" after all?
> I think is due to php7 which is shipped with Ubuntu 16.04.
Did you think or do you have proof?
Here is a start before touching Moodle: Create a file named phpinfo.php with the single liner:

Here is a start before touching Moodle: Create a file named phpinfo.php with the single liner:
<?php phpinfo(): ?> in the same directory as the Moodle's config.php and visit http://yoursite/phpinfo.php in a web browser. Post the result here. You'll find more details in the docs under https://docs.moodle.org/29/en/PHP#PHP_info.
