How to install or upgrade

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.

Your Dokeos community install package already contains installation guides in a few languages, but you can also read the English installation guide online.

If you upgrade from Dokeos community release 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2 or 2.0.3, you can simply copy the new files and folders of 2.0.4 over those of the older version. Do yourself a favour and make a backup first. You should not copy over the home, courses or archive folders, otherwise you might lose data. If you accidentally copy over those folders, you can simply replace them with the folders from your backup.

Note the folder with the user images also should not be overwritten

If you upgrade from a lower version of Dokeos (1.6.x), you can use the built-in upgrade facility as described in the installation guide.

Known issues

  • When upgrading from Dokeos 1.6.x: users who have sorted courses before will see these return to a default ordering, so they might have to sort them again. There were some issues in 1.6.x versions with people not being able to order their courses (for example people who upgraded from 1.5.x to 1.6.0), and the upgrade will fix these issues. The script could be built to be perfect but time / complexity issues have prevented that for now.

List of security problems fixed

  • security issue in the resource linker
  • security issue in the forum

Changelog

Since many people modify their Dokeos installation, it's hard for them to just overwrite all their files with those of 2.0.4. If you wish to update your Dokeos installation manually or by patching your files, you can create a patch file using CVS-commands. More information about this in our FAQ.
