I have been an avid user of dNN for sometime now. However, the installation of 4.09 is criminal. I would like to install a completely fresh copy of this release, so I log onto the DNN site, download the Install zip, change the web.config with my connection string then upload the whole lt. Unfortunately, the "Install Wizard" seems to produce the following:

Installing Database - Version 4.4.0...Upgrading Database to Version ERROR: See c:\sites\single11\clipperplace\webroot\Providers\DataProviders\SqlDataProvider\04.04.00.log for more information...Success
undefined...Success
undefined...Success
 

The undefined...Success seems to go on infinitly. Further you will notice the "Upgrading Database" words...since when does a new install need to update a database that does not exist ? I am probably missing something here but I am getting very frustrated by the inability to install my favourite CMS.

So much so that I will be forced to purchase another product as I certainly no longer have any more time to try to resolve this issue. However, always ready to give DNN a second go has anybody else experienced this wierdness ?

Any help would be appreciated,

Kind Regards

Thanks for your reply John. I have further information on the positive side !. I got my web host to restore my old DNN database while the Install Wizard advised that my database etc was the current version. Once the DB was restored I clicked the next button on the wizard and.......it Updated ! I had a minor problem though, none of the host or admin password would be recognised, so I created a new account the copied the password salt and the encrypted password from the DB for host and admin. I was then able to log on and promptly changed the passwords for these accounts.

A very frustrating couple of days, however, I am now happy once again to be using DNN 4.09 ! I appreciate everyone who viewed the post and thans to you for your reply.

Kind Regards.
