I upgraded my site from 4.6.2 to 4.7.0. I am getting unusual results. My site has four portals, each with its own domain name. (All were working as expected prior to upgrade.) After the upgrade three of the four give server errors and the fourth works some of the time and at other times shows the .../Install/UnderConstruction.htm page.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

The three that give server errors give the following error:

 

Server Error in '/' Application.

I noticed that all portals do display the .../Install/UnderConstruction.htm page the first time I attempt to go to the site. The three domains/portals that do not work display the error above and in the event view the following event is recorded.

FYI... I am using WebHost4Life as my hosting provider.

I tried deleting and re-creating a new portal and it is responding just like the portals that do not work.

I'm having the same problem - but only my "default" site has the error listed above.  (I have 3 Portals)  The other two always go the the Under Construction page the first time through.

Any luck?
