Hi,

I really need to get on to DNN 5.x (mainly for the Deny perms) and had a nightmare trying to upgrade PokerDIY from 4.9.4 to 5.1.4.

How many people have successfully upgraded to 5.1.2 from a 4.9.4/5 system?

Success or failure stories please... (upgrading is a big time/money investment so I am wondering if it is worth trying or waiting for a point release).

Sorry, Rod, 

I haven't upgrade any of our sites yet, mainly due to missing language pack support in DNN 5.

Hopefully this will be fixed soon and I am able to support properly other users with upgrade issues.

Cheers from Germany,

Yep I finally managed to do it with the following things done:

  • Can't have any skins with dots in the folder names - Issue
  • Had to go through all skins and change the shorthand ContainerSrc attributes to the long ones
  • I also found ContainerSrc  to be case sensitive
  • Applied Extropy skin to the host portal for the purpose of the upgrade.
  • Had to redefine a separate File Manager module because the revised core one kept overwriting it.
  • Check this is you have Active Forums installed
  • Be ready for some modules to require new versions before they will work after the upgrade - menus, httpmodules, allsorts - make a list beforehand and have them ready.
  • Removed DOA modules that had database triggers - Navigation suite, possibly others
  • Clear out the ASP.Net cache and restart immediately after a successful upgrade, or you'll keep getting weird errors

All of the above finally gave me an upgrade without displaying any errors. I'm back on 4.9.5 and will wait for another release before taking it any further.

Rob,

  • please post case sensitivity, containerSrc and dot in package name issues into Gemini.
  • I don't understand your File Manager issue, please explain.
  • any 3rd party module used should be checked for compatibility/latest version
  • 3rd party modules are not supposed to modify core tables including by adding triggers

Thank you, this will help to improve stability of the upgrade progress.

Cheers from Germany,
Sebastian Leupold
