HI all, I'm trying an upgrade of a site in my local dev envirnment of 4.9.5 to 5.3.1 and having some issues. I've read a good number of posts which have helped, so here is the scenario ...
Original site was 4.8.4 upgraded to 4.9.5 with minor versions in between. Site uses no exotic code or modules other than:
Bulk User Manager 2.7.3
Datasprings Dynamic Forms 2.7.5
Datasprings Dynamic Registration 3.2.7
Datasprings Dynamic User Directory 2.5.3
Invenmanager Events Calendar 3.0.3
NavXp Menu 1.4.1
Datasprings Opt-In Email 4.0.1
I understand some of these module require upgrading and may be the source of some issues at the moment.
On my first attempt to upgrade, upgrade was halted at second or third line (browser install screen) regarding version 5.0.0 (see 5.0.0 log message). To resolve this I followed Chris Hammonds suggestion of removing any old packages from the install directory, specifically Active Directory. I also cleaned out any old packages from the install/packages and install/modules folders. After that, a fresh upgrade proceeded successfully and gave me the "Click here to access your portal link "
Once the site was up, I noticed some problems with url rewriting .. although I could see the home page, I could not navigate anywhere or login as the url rewriting seemed to be confused. Again, based on a suggestion from Chris Hammond (Thanks Chris) I disabled UseFriendlyURLs in the DB under Host Settings table. That allowed me to navigate the site and login.
At first blush the site seemed to be working okay, with little going on in the event viewer. The only visible error I see (appears under control panel) is regarding the iconbar as follows;
An error has occurred.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: An entry with the same key already exists. ---> System.ArgumentException: An entry with the same key already exists. at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentException(ExceptionResource resource) at System.Collections.Generic.SortedList`2.Add(TKey key, TValue value) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.DesktopModuleController.GetPortalDesktopModules(Int32 portalID) at DotNetNuke.UI.ControlPanels.IconBar.BindData() in C:\Users\Kelly\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\WebSites\StAlbert05\Admin\ControlPanel\IconBar.ascx.vb:line 60 at DotNetNuke.UI.ControlPanels.IconBar.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) in C:\Users\Kelly\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\WebSites\StAlbert05\Admin\ControlPanel\IconBar.ascx.vb:line 326 --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
That is the main issue I'm trying to resolve at the moment. Any suggestions or direction are greatly appreciated.
------------------------
On the VWD side of things .. when I run the app I get around 95 errors in VWD .. and I'm not certain how many are caused by old unused code, non-updated modules, or new issues from the upgrade. Once I resolve the iconbar issue above, I will upgrade the modules one by one and see what that does.
Again, any thoughts, or direction greatly appreciated. Thanks to all who have posted on upgrade issues!
