After thinking about this perhap I goofed in upgrading (my first time doing so with DNN)

I took the site offline via iis manager, simply copied over/overwrote the upgrade package to the files in the iis folder reset folder permissions then restarted iis. I got the upgrade database screen when I first went to the page and that was it. Did I miss/do anyhting wrong?

Thank you so much for that, seems I may have missed a few steps.

So would you suggest I do a restore at this point?

Also, security wise, is it unsafe to allow all folders to anon internet access? Or shoud only specific folders be given that? I know without that security class perople can't get to the site, I just didn't know if it was unsafe to apply to all folders.

I had trouble with this upgrade too. It looked like the upgrade was working, but it didn't.

I had the code backed up but I did not take a backup snapshot of the SQL database.

I thought I was alright after rolling back the code, but the host-host settings no longer works. I get this error:

Error: Host Settings is currently unavailable.

The database appears to have been upgraded. Is there a quick fix for this? I tried the upgrade process again - no go.

What now?
