I'm trying to upgrade a site from DNN 4.8.0 straight to DNN 5.2.1. However, i am getting some very strange errors.
I was curious if i should follow a different upgrade path? Such as upgrade to DNN 4.9.5 then upgrade to 5.2.1 or perhaps i should transfer my info from web.config to release.config and rename it appropriately so that i'm starting off fresh?
I'm curious if using the same web.config and hoping that DNN 5.2.1 can update it successfully is having some issues?
I've done this upgrade 2 times in a row and produces the exact same errors.
These errors are:
------------------------------------------------
1) The Upgrade Status Report process showed Success except for the following:
Updating Config Files: 05.01.00 Error!
Updating Config Files: 05.02.00 Error!
Updating Config Files: 05.02.01 Error!
Installing Package File FileModuleCachingProvider_05.02.01_Install: Error!
Installing Package File MemoryModuleCachingProvider_05.02.01_Install: Error!
2) After i continue to website, Page does not display skin properly, it shows the skin and containters but no TEXTHTML content. However the content shows up when i login as host. Each page also displays"Critical Error Has Occurred" Next to the empty containers.
3) Issue is when i try to access the new Host Settings. I get the following error on the screen.
*******************************************
Error: Host Settings is currently unavailable.

Any tips or suggestions would be great on helping me out of this mess i'm in. Fortunately i've backed everything up and will try the upgrade a 3rd time. I have not idea what is going wrong.
Anyone in the forum. Please Advise with suggestions.
