I had this happen in staging a site for upgrade where AJAX was disabled in host / host settings. Turning on AJAX in host settings before the upgrade resolved the issue for us. Since it looks like you have already done this in production you could also enable this in the database table HostSettings. The value for EnableAJAX should be Y

After making this change you may need to reset IIS with running IISReset from the command line, or resaving web.config should also trigger a reset.

Steve,

Thanks.  However, there are a couple of issues.  The same section in my web.config is identical to the one in his post.  Also, why would the previous version of my site work (4.8.4) and the upgrade not work if this were the case?  Finally, we have .NET 3.5 installed on the server.  Would that not include the newer version?  Would it be the AJAX control toolkit that has changed?

Please forgive my ignorance, I just do not want to make a bad situation worse.

Earlier versions of 4.x had AJAX bundled as a DLL in the bin folder... MS made some changes and it was decided that it was not a good idea to bundle AJAX with DNN any more, instead the server should supply the functionality. Plus if you were running in medium trust this brought futher issues.

So if you have the AJAX dll in the bin folder you should delete it. AJAX instead should be installed on the servers GAC.

If you are running .NET 2 you should have MS AJAX for .NET 2 installed on your server.

If you are running .NET 3.5 SP1 then MS AJAX is already bundled so you don't need to install it.

Either way you must make sure web.config is set up properly so you are using the correct version of AJAX, and get rid of the AJAX DLL in your DNN bin folder should you have it.

NB I'm talking about MS AJAX, not AJAX control toolkit,

Wow, wow, and wow again!  I am just dumbfounded.  This fixed it.  Dave, thank you so much!!!!  Also, thank you to Steve, Alex, and Ian!  I really appreciate everyone's help.

On to the problem.  If this is happening to two people, it will probably happen to many more.  Should this be something that the upgrade script checks?
