[Moodle] Migrating Courses in Moodle

[Laurie Savage]

Working at the command line in Linux I'm inclined to

1. Backup the MySQL database using mysqldump
mysqldump moodle > /path/moodle-date.sql

2. copy moodle-date.sql moodle and moodledata to the appropriate 
directories on the new machine - checking permissions as you go.

e.g. mine would be
/home/admin/archive/moodle-date.sql
/var/www/html/moodle
/var/www/moodledata

3. Restore the database via
mysql < /path/moodle-date.sql

4. Open Moodle and see what happens ;-)
