What happens when go to 7.4? That wiki probably says 7.3.3 because that was the latest version when the wiki was late updated.

I tried upgrading from 6.2.9 to 7.0.0, 7.2.0, 7.4.0 all of which of which gave me generic runtime errors.

Server Error in '/' Application.

In looking at the Event Logs it appears that this is the same "LoacalSqlServ' issue I reported earlier.

Any weird modules or skin objects in play?  Maybe there is some locally written module/skin object that expects the LocalSqlServer setting.  Do you have any clue what code is looking for LocalSqlServer?
Best wishes,

Here is what is in my web.config:

<connectionStrings>
<remove name="LocalSqlServer" />
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005/2008 -->
<add connectionString="Server=ASWWEB;Database=ASWDotNetNuke;User ID=*******;Password=*******" name="SiteSqlServer" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>

This works fine on my installation at DNN 6.2.9, however when I upgrade to DNN 7.3.3 (Or any DNN 7 version) I get the following:

The connection name 'LocalSqlServer' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty.

It references the Machine.config. As stated earlier, If I comment out the <remove name="LocalSqlServer" /> I get other issues. However, in 6.2.9, it works fine with that line commented out.

Need some quick assistance on this. Thanks.
