I have been using DNN for awhile.  Finally getting around to upgrade.  Problem is I'm trying to get from 2.1 to 3.2.

Windows 2000 and SQL database.  I made a couple copies of the site to make sure I could and then tried the upgrade.  Pretty sure I did everything right. 

Here is the screen info:

Server Error in '/DotNetNuke32' Application.

Made is a whole 5 lines...ouch.

So my guess is I need to do a progressive upgrade.  Am I right? and can anyone recommend the versions I should use to go from 2.1 to 3.2.  I would prefer not to do them all.

Thanks,

Jeff

I have done the same. Upgrades from 2.1.2 to 3.x did not go well because of 3rd party modules so we upgraded and exported the content that was good and just moved the rest.

Quick follow up. I did a fresh install of 4.02 and will manually cut and paste the old content to the new site and then switch it over.  Good opportunity to reveiw and cleanup.  Users and store items would be a problem.  I don't have either of those.  I would try to find those items in the database and move them manually.  If you have not used the new tools in SQL 2005 you should check it out.  They work for both 2000 and 2005 databases.  You can get the Developer version for $50 and it works great.  The new interface should let you move and map at the table and field level to make the process easier. Oh, yea...and no more 3rd party tools for me.  Everything I purchased 3rd party extras for are in the new version.  Nice.
