New Moodle admin needs help upgrading to 2.6.1

Hi,

I recently inherited the admin duties for a currently in-use Moodle installation and I haven't had any previous experience with it. My first task was to upgrade from;

  • Moodle 2.5.4+ (Build: 20140228) Version 2013051404.1 (Stable version)

to

  • Moodle 2.6.1+ (Build: 20140228) Version 2013111801.1 (Stable version)

I attempted to follow the upgrade documentation, but I kept running into discrepancies with our installation. Right off the bat, I ran into a problem with the backup instructions;

  1. Moodle software (For example, everything in server/htdocs/moodle)
  2. Moodle uploaded files (For example, server/moodledata)

I have no "moodle" dir within "htdocs" and no "moodledata" dir anywhere. This is the list of items I have at the / level of the server;

00_private
backups
cgi-bin
errors
htdocs
logs
phptmp

As far as I can tell, the install is bare-bones with around 50 short courses set up. Since my installation seems to differ from the instructions and other doc references, I don't want to do anything until I know exactly what is going on and that I won't loose any course or user data. I feel like I am missing some important piece of the puzzle. If someone more savvy could lend me a hand getting the right "picture" of what is going on, I think I should be able to take it from there.

 

Thank you
