Cliff,
I just restored from backup and left it at 4.9.4. The errors are simply too bizzarre to risk using in production at this point.
What I noticed specifically was that there were no edit icons next to the listings nor any of the normal links at the bottom except delete on the ADMIN/EXTENSIONS page. I saw these things on the copied site that I upgraded. But, they do not appear on my production site. I have reproduced this behavior several times in a row while trying to upgrade my production site. Keep in mind, my copy is on the same server.
So, I copied my DNN directory into a new directory. I backed up my DNN SQL server 2008 exress database and restored it into a new database. I created a new site in IIS and changed all the appropriate settings including doing the whole portal alias thing in DNN BEFORE I copied the database.
That site work fine with the upgrade, but the original does not.
That is strange. Whatever it is that is different between the two after the above procedure must be causing this... I just can't figure out what is different... perhaps some GUIDs or something....

Ted, can you elaborate on what does not work? I did the 5.1.2 upgrade and my site runs fine but I cannot do stuff like Edit Roles, etc. This post has a small portion of my log file. There are some references to permissions. And I don't have any modules even showing up on the Extensions page and several others. I am into about two weeks with these issues and my client is growing weary. I may have to roll back to 4.9.4 but I would rather be able to solve these issues. It seems like a lot of people are having a lot of issues. But most of the posts will request more info and when it is provided no further posts are made. I know this is a complex environment, but with so many people having so many problems, it seems like there would be some commonality.
