Hi
> an upgrade of a Moodle 2.8.1 install to the latest and greatest on Debian
I don't understand. Does that mean:
a) Moodle 2.8.1 is running perfectly on some other computer, not on the "latest and greatest Debian", and you want to move that Moodle to a "latest and greatest Debian"
The answer is https://docs.moodle.org/28/en/Moodle_migration
b) Moodle 2.8.1 is running perfectly on a "latest and greatest Debian" and you want to upgrade Moodle to 2.8.latest. Then the answer is https://docs.moodle.org/28/en/Upgrading. (If the "old" Moodle was fetched with Git, then there is a short answer, 'git pull'. But better read the full thing and understand the consequnces rather than Unix command line acrobatics!)
c) Some confusion with Apache DocumentRoot and the URL of your site. Well, then you are not upgrading anything.
What is a "quick upgrade", BTW. If you skim through the General help forum, you'll see painfully slow upgrades and some upgraders who wish they'd downgraded!
;-P
P.S. May be this is nitpicking for some. Debian is not an OS, just as Ubuntu is not an OS. Perhaps you meant the distribution Debian GNU/Linux. Debian produces other combinations too: kernels other than Linux, CPU architectures other than x86-64.
