[Moodle] Moodle 1.6 - anyone leapt in ?

[Kevork Krozian]

Hi folks,

 We too upgraded to Moodle 1.6 today ( from ver 1.4x ),  migrated the data and upgraded to a newer server all with no hitch.
We did have the talented Jeff Clement to steer the show as well. 
 We stuck to Linux ( Fedora Core 5 ) rather than move to IIS. 
 One glitch in the past was a problem in migrating from an older version of MySQL due to a reserved word in a field allowed in the older versions, but not in the newer ones. Apart from that there were no problems.

Best Wishes

  Jeff Clement jeff at clementcomputers.com.au is a handy contact for the upgrades.

  We upgraded and survived .. nothing broke and everything is working ... even though the migration is paused whilst we wait for some php and mysql version upgrades. Help screen provides a lot of handy info about what is needed etc. 

  It took me all of 5 min to make a database for recording maintenance log entries (and an hour of tweaking to get the appearance just right!) .. fantastic and worth the upgrade alone! I'm going to start moving some of the other odd flat databases in the school over to this as soon as we finsh the upgrade. Sample attached. 

  Regards Roland

  I want to do it but the instructions seem hopeless and database conversion problems seem very worrying.
  Any one done it ??  Who can I pay to do it seamlessly for me ???
