I have done a couple of upgrades already (localhost and development environment, both v4.4.0 -> v4.8.1) and they have gone very smoothly.

Any idea's what I could have doen wrong?

My guess is that it is something in the web.config, but how do I figure it out?

Is this a database problem?

The last set of errors refer to SP's such as get_Users and GetPortalSettings although the PortalID parameter is missing from the error.

I am really stuck as to even know where to start with this and because it's in my staging environment, i am not in a position to keep trying changes until it works.

Any pointers as to where to start?

Have you found an answer to this I am having the same problems in 4.5.4 install - looks like almost the same places - i ran through my web.config and cant see any real differences in the 4.8.1 that would cause it but I am not the expert there
