For anyone having difficulty installing/upgrading DNN on Godaddy hosted environment, it can be done fairly straightforward.  Just did it successfully today!  The key was to make sure that I upgraded the DB to SQL 2005 and IIS 7.0.   If you need to transfer from SQL 2000 (I had a running version of DNN 4.6), you can backup your SQL 2000 DB, create a new SQL 2005 DB, then restore your backup into the new 2005 DB.  You will need to delete your 2000 DB in order to install IIS 7.0.  If you run into trouble with figuring out how to do all the above, GoDaddy can help.  They just don't provide any support with DNN specific issues.

Remember to change your connection strings in the web config file.  Everything else (moving your upgrade files into your web folder) is in the upgrade instructions.  When you navigate to your site, bingo!, the install works without a glitch.  Can't wait to have fun with the new version!!!

Hi Hacene,

That is indeed great news! I will likely wait until one more version after 5.1. I am wondering, if you have time, could you say more specifically what is involved in changing the web config file? I would benefit from an example, if you had time? I have two sites with 4.9.4 on GoDaddy and I remain most pleased with both the software and the provider.

Hacene,

 

Thanks for that I was just trying to do an update which failed horriblely due to some issues probably associated to Sql 2k (which my database is on right now).  Least back up was current and I made multiple copies of the files.  I will try to the other direction you when now... with a backup and then deleting the Sql2k database then doing a restore.

Maybe this was my problem. I installed the new DNN 5 without changing the database and lost all my module and skin listings when you click the link in the host menu. They all still work on existing pages but cannot see them to add new. I am assuming this is the DB doing this as if made references to the database on the error messages. Will try this today and report back, thanks.

I have done the updates in my account and reinstalled DNN install. My portal interestingly did not go back through the install process on my screen, It delayed for a while then went to my site. Is this normal?

 

Ahyhow here are the errors I get for the skins page when attempting to access the skin selection.

Error: Skins is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: D:\Hosting\2955622\html\sdportal\Admin\Skins\EditSkins.ascx.vb(175): error BC30456: 'GetSkin' is not a member of 'DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.SkinController'. ---> System.Web.HttpCompileException: D:\Hosting\2955622\html\sdportal\Admin\Skins\EditSkins.ascx.vb(175): error BC30456: 'GetSkin' is not a member of 'DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.SkinController'. at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.CompileWebFile(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultInternal(VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultWithNoAssert(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultWithAssert(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResult(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(String virtualPath) at DotNetNuke.UI.ControlUtilities.LoadControl[T](TemplateControl containerControl, String ControlSrc) at DotNetNuke.UI.Modules.ModuleHost.LoadModuleControl() --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

 

And when I attempt to go to the module definitions this is what I get.

Error: Module Definitions is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: D:\Hosting\2955622\html\sdportal\Admin\ModuleDefinitions\ModuleDefinitions.ascx.vb(61): error BC30311: Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to 'System.Version'. ---> System.Web.HttpCompileException: D:\Hosting\2955622\html\sdportal\Admin\ModuleDefinitions\ModuleDefinitions.ascx.vb(61): error BC30311: Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to 'System.Version'. at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.CompileWebFile(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultInternal(VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultWithNoAssert(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultWithAssert(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResult(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(String virtualPath) at DotNetNuke.UI.ControlUtilities.LoadControl[T](TemplateControl containerControl, String ControlSrc) at DotNetNuke.UI.Modules.ModuleHost.LoadModuleControl() --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

 

I do not understand the errors yet so if anyone can enlighten me I would be grateful.
