For several hours today and yesterday we have tried to upgrade from 4.0.8 to 5.1.0 but it has failed all the time, and most of the cases it sems related to the DNN 5.0 to 5.1 upgrade. Besides all kind of problems (many of them already reported here) we also got a very scary problem that the installer seem to move our files around as will it seems.

When we starte the upgrade, after having extracted the ZIP over the previous installation, we have several directories and files under "admin", and then during the installation they are suddenly moved to the DesktopModules folder, is this what is supposed to happen? It doesn seem to work however, because DNN still try to find the the files in the original location. Like "template.ascx" which is used for exporting portals, it is at /admin/portals at the begining of the installation, but is then moved to /desktopmodules/admin/portal, which results in error when running DNN which tries to find it at the old location. And this is far from the only file beeing moved!

Is this related to the "00:00:18.015 -   Executing Application Upgrades: 05.01.00 Error!" below you think?

For the time being we have decided that we can not trust DNN5.1 and will remain at 4.8 until a working upgrade is available.

to review database upgrade errors, please check out content of text file  /providers/dataproviders/sqldataprovider/05.01.00.log

move of a couple of modules is intended, if DNN is still looking for old locations, the .dll files might not been updated properly, please make sure to replace all dotnetnuke files inside the /bin folder.

The DB error is the famous one with the new primary key for EventTable and that we have fixed manually. I am personally more interested in the otther problem, the one with "executing" but dont know wherer to find logs of that? That could just as well be part of the problem.

About the DLL files, I dont really get it, we are talking user controls here, and mostly, user controls calls DLLs, not the other way around?  I mean, how can the fact that DNN tries to find a .ascx file in the wrong location be related to faulty binaries? Not that I would mind that it was the cause of the problem though, because then we would have a fix for it.

But, seriously, I know this is open source an everything, but shouldn't the installation process be much smoother than this? Looking in this forum, we seem to be far from the only ones having serious problems with installing DNN5. Again, we apprechiate the hard work you guys in the Core Team are doing, it's not about that!

BTW, how many years do you have to be a member of this forum until you can post unmoderated? Usually that is just for new guys, but I must have been here for at least 5 years now, probably more :)

  • you are unmoderated, there is just an issue of this forums version to display the message regardless of your status
  • upgrade execution error should be logged in Admin :: Event Viewer
  • please be aware, that DNN is a server software, usually maintained by admins. try to install/upgrade other CMS products for comparison (including SharePoint extensions).
