<h3>3.2 Upgrading from Chamilo 1.9.x</h3>
<h3>3.3 Upgrading from Chamilo 1.9.x</h3>

<p>Chamilo LMS 1.11.x comes with a new database structure in comparison to 1.9,
as was the case between 1.9 and 1.8.
Although the upgrade script takes the migration in charge, it might be generating
a very heavy load on your server during the upgrade, and will change your
database considerably, preserving the data as well as possible (we have tested
the procedure many times, but remember this is GNU/GPLv3 and we cannot be held
responsible for what would happen to your data without professional supervision).
This is why we *really* recommend you take a full backup of your system before
you upgrade.</p>

Also note that Chamilo LMS 1.10 unites all language files from the
main/lang/ directory into one single file by language.
If you have changed language files directly (instead of
using the recommended way: sub-languages), you should take a backup copy of
these changed translations before you upgrade. Sublanguages might also require
some manual work, but the upgrade procedure will not touch sublanguages directly.
<br /><br />

<ul>
<li> make sure you don't have tables from previous versions of Chamilo still hanging around. These can cause the upgrade to fail. In particular, tables from versions 1.8.* could have multiple tables for each course, resulting in many tables with the same prefix. Only tables without prefix or with a "c_" prefix exist in 1.9 and superior versions. Make sure none of these tables persist. Take a backup of your database (just in case) and delete these prefixed tables (drop table ...).</li>
<li> check that you haven't left any customised stylesheet or image <span class="text-muted">(if you have, make sure you keep a copy on the side*)</span></li>
