Hello,

I have just upgraded my dev website (from DNN 4.3.7 to 4.4.0). Everything went well thanks to leupold help.
Now, I would like to do the same on my prod web site. But wht will happen if someone access the site BEFORE me ? He will trigger the upgrade process, and I will never know if everything went well... How could I lock the web while upgrading ? I have heard about a possibility to prevent user from accessing the site, but how ??
It has been done on the dotnetnuke site few days ago (I was surfing when I had a message saying that it was not available for few minutes due to upgrade). How could I do this ?

Thanks,
Déclic Vidéo FX
PS: I have seen this POST.

there are two things to do:

  1. create default.htm with an appropriate text and in IIS web site settings, tab documents, make sure, this page is placed before default.aspx. you can remove the page when you finished update and tested your site.
  2. stop your web site in IIS, until you finished unzipping files and making changes to your web.config

I am on a shared hosted server... No possibility to do this (to my knowledge). Any other solution ?

you can also rename default.aspx until you are ready for starting the site.
