<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Why create a new install? Easier and better to upgrade the existing install. General process as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">1. backup existing database and directory just in case<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">2. drop 1.9 code over top of existing code<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">3. visit the install to test the basics are working ok via guest access e.g. create and test an LO<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">4. If you are using LDAP for authentication visit
<a href="http://yourinstall/upgrade.php">http://yourinstall/upgrade.php</a> to automatically copy details from sitedeatils to ldap table<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">5. change from guest to ldap or one of the other authentication options in auth_config.php by commenting/un-commenting the relevant line<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">6. If you are using Moodle for authentication read and follow the instructions in the moodle_integration_readme file<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">7. refresh index.php and test login and creation etc<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">A final point - there isn't a maintenance mode like these is in Moodle for preventing non-admins logging in during upgrade and you dodn't want people creating new LO's in case you do have to revert back so perhaps
schedule this and notify people and/or rename index.php temporarily so only you can visit and test etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are currently seeking to upgrade from an older version of Xerte (Online Toolkits) hosted on IIS to the latest version. We wish to maintain the existing database in order to preserve our existing content. Which config files would need
to be modified after installing a fresh version of Xerte in order to hook it up to our existing database? I presume that once done, Xerte will pick up our LDAP settings from the database but would any additional configuration be required in order to re-enable
LDAP authentication on this new install (we authenticate at present using our Active Directory server with Xerte)?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks in advance for your assistance,<o:p></o:p></p>
