That makes sense.  Originally, the version I was running was actuall 3.1.1.  I tried upgrading to 4.x.  I am returning to this project after a long time away from it, so I forgot what I actually did.  I guess I'll just have to restore the old version and try starting over.  Is it wise (or even possible) to properly upgrade from 3.1.x to 4.x?  Are there any best practices for that scenario?

I've tried a couple more things, but I still get that error saying "/Admin/Security/AuthenticationSettings.ascx does not exist." when I go to Admin -> Authentication.

I performed an upgrade straight from 3.1.1 to 4.7.  During the upgrade, I got a couple errors, but I'm not sure if they're related to this:

00:00:20.018 -   Executing Script: 04.03.03.SqlDataProvider Success
00:00:20.236 -   Executing Script: 04.03.04.SqlDataProvider Success
00:00:20.283 -   Executing Script: 04.03.05.SqlDataProvider Error! (see 04.03.05.log for more information)
00:00:20.752 -   Executing Script: 04.03.06.SqlDataProvider Success
00:00:21.143 -   Executing Script: 04.03.07.SqlDataProvider Error! (see 04.03.07.log for more information)
00:00:21.971 -   Executing Script: 04.04.00.SqlDataProvider Error! (see 04.04.00.log for more information)
00:00:24.190 -   Executing Script: 04.04.01.SqlDataProvider Success
00:00:24.346 -   Executing Script: 04.05.00.SqlDataProvider Success
00:00:27.659 -   Executing Script: 04.05.01.SqlDataProvider Success


I looked at the log files to check the errors, and they were related to creating the stored procedures associated with the Files table.  It doesn't really look like they're related to Authentication.

This is how I upgraded:

1. Unzipped the file DotNetNuke_04.07.00_Upgrade.zip into my DNN folder.  I unzipped it into my current 3.1 installation.

2. Updated web.config (setting up SQL connection string, preserving machine and encryption keys)

3. browsing to my DNN url and let the upgrade commence.

I also tried Unzipping the file DotNetNuke_04.07.00_Install.zip into my DNN folder instead of just the upgrade zip file, and I get the same result.  I thought the upgrade would somehow properly resolve the path to Authentication.ascx.  This is pretty critical to my portals, as I am looking to upgrade our existing 3.1 installation.

If it's any help, in my situation, I'm running a few child portals under a parent portal.  Would that have anything to do it?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I cant remember which version this happened (and it may have been for upgrades between 3 and 4) but I do remember reading somewhere that it was a good idea to delete all the *.vb files in an install before copying in the upgrade files. I think it was because .NET 2.0 will attempt to compile a .vb file into a .dll on the fly and there were .vb files that didn't need to be there. Another thing you could try is to use a program like WinMerge (which can compare files and directories) and do a comparison between your upgraded install and the raw DNN Upgrade/Install files.

I'm assuming that when you say you updated the web.config file you mean you took the release.config from the upgrade package, copied your connection string, machine keys, etc from the 3.1.1 and then renamed release.config to web.config correct?

I solved my problem.  Instead of upgrading from 3.1 to 4.7 directly, I first upgraded from 3.1 to 3.3.7, and THEN upgrading to 4.7 from there.  That seemed to take care of the error I kept getting.
