Scott I'm also trying to upgrade my DNN 3.2.2 to DNN 3.3.5 but I don't understand the upgrade process and thought you might be able to give me a quick explanation. I downloaded the upgrade file from DotNetNuke. It said to save a back up copy of the webconfig file which I have done. Is this the only file I need to back-up. Okay I know I need to make some changes to the webconfig file, no problem, but where do I place the zip file with the upgrade? I suppose I need to log in via FTP where I got the webconfig file from and put that zip file somewhere.

I appreciate any help you can give me. I'm sure I'm making this out to be more then it needs to be but I thought I would ask someone who has already run through it. Thanks a bunch for your assistance, I appreciate your time.

Mike there is a readme file in the documentation folder of the install package it states the following:

Application Upgrades

- make sure you always backup your files/database before upgrading to a new version
- unzip the code over top of your existing application
- BACKUP web.config (web.backup.resources)
- follow procedure in Installation Guide to ensure web.config is set up right
- browse to localhost/DotNetNuke in your web browser
- the application will automatically execute the necessary database scripts

Security ( details in /403-3.htm file )

If using Windows 2000 - IIS5
- the {Server}/ASPNET user account must have Read, Write, and Change Control of the root application directory ( this allows the application to create files/folders )
If using Windows 2003 - IIS6
- the {Server}/NetworkService user account must have Read, Write, and Change Control of the root application directory ( this allows the application to create files/folders )

It it says to unzip the code over top of your existing application if you're going to do this via FTP you need to unzip the application on your local machine and then FTP all the files and do a replace all.  Hopefully you have better results then I did.  If it causes you to have errors you can always restore your old database and copy your old files back over.  Make sure you back everything up and store your backups in a safe location.

Thanks,

-Scott

I have found and understand the process in changing the web.config file but where does this web.backup.resource as it's indicating in the installation guide. Or is this what the backup is renamed to? This is why it's not very simple to understand since a newby can't totall grasp this.

 

Thanks Mike.
