Windows 2003 server, SQL 2005 Database Server, DNN 3.2 upgrading to 4.8.

Modified the web.config with the following entries:

 

<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005-->

<add

name=

"SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Server=FullyQualifiedServername;Database=DotNetNuke;uid=xxxx;pwd=xxxx;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

<add key=

"SiteSqlServer" value="Server=FullyQualifiedServername;Database=DotNetNuke;uid=xxxx;pwd=xxxx;"/>

<add key=

"AutoUpgrade" value="false" />

Entered the following URL: http://hostname/install/install.aspx?mode=upgrade   which results in:

Duplicate Portal Users

We have detected that the following Users have duplicate entries (they exist in more than one portal). You need to be aware that after the upgrade, the password for some of these users may have been automatically changed (as the system now only uses one password per user, rather than one password per user per portal). It is important to remember that your Users can always retrieve their password using the Password Reminder feature, which will be sent to the Email addess shown in the table.

(list of users)

Click Here to Proceed With The Upgrade.  - Clicked and received the following:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

After a lot of searching, testing, failures - finally success.

Upgrading from 3.2 to 4.8.x cannot consistently be performed in one step. Upgrade to 4.5.03, 4.6.02, then to 4.8.x . The following steps were performed with every upgrade:

Stop network traffic to the website

Backup website, backup database

Rename web.config to version_web.config

Copy or unzip upgrade files - overwrite all

Rename release.config to web.config and modify

SQL information

Machine keys

Make sure Auto Upgrade is set to TRUE - if you try to manually upgrade it consistently fails using http://website/install/install.aspx?mode=upgrade

Access website to start the upgrade and Voila - Success. I can't guarantee this will work for everyone, but it worked for me.

Does anyone have 4.5.3 upgrade files? Where can I get V4.5.3 upgrade zip files? I intend to upgrade from 3.2.0 to 4.8.2
