How to install

As always for free software; it is provided as is, without any warranty, we try our best but promise nothing, and you are encouraged to take frequent backups, as you should do for all your data. Our FAQ page explains how to backup Dokeos courses.

If this is your first install or an upgrade from Dokeos 1.5, 1.5.4 or 1.5.5, you can follow the instructions provided in the downloaded package, in a file called installation_guide.html. You can also read this guide online.

If you upgrade from Dokeos 1.6.0, 1.6.1 or 1.6.2 you don't need to run any install or upgrade scripts - just copy over the original files an folders, replacing the current files.

However, if you want to be able to use Esperanto or do course sorting you will have to execute some sql instructions. We'll probably provide a php script that does this work for you.

Known issues

  • The version number that is displayed will continue to show the previous version, not "1.6.3". We'll try to have future updates (starting from 1.7) show the correct version.
  • When you copy the new files over the older ones, please skip the "home" folder in your Dokeos directory. otherwise you will lose whatever changes you made to the homepage.
