Do I have this process right?

  1. Copy in "Upgrade" source to a new directory on file system; Set Permissions
  2. Copy folders from portals/ directory (except default) from 3.x to 4.35
  3. Backup old database; Restore that backup to a new database
  4. Rename release.config file to web.config
  5. Copy in database connection string to two locations in web.config (change db name)
  6. Move comments (<!-- -->) around so that sql server express is eliminated and 2000/2005 is active, in web.config
  7. Copy validation key and encryption key from old web.config to new web.config
  8. Create a new website, per installation directions (point to new location, select run/execute, set app pool, change asp.net version to 2.0)

I did the steps like this and get the following errors during upgrade:

When I try to log in afterwards, I get the default portal appearance, minus any content, and when I click login it does nothing (returns back a blank portal template).  I can include those logs, if necessary, but I figured maybe I just did something wrong in my steps.

Please advise.

Thank you,

Alan

A few questions....

1.  If you go to Host >> Host Settings, what is the version?  Does it show the correct 4.3.x version?
2.  Looking in Admin >> Portals, are your portal(s) listed correctly?
3.  If you look at your Portal folders (_defaut, 0, 2, 4, etc) do they exist, and is the content in them the same as was in 3.x.x)?

With that info, this may be easier to diagnose...

Just in case anyone is looking for upgrade instructions from 3.x to 4.x, the above posted are partly right...

Here is Alan's directions:

  1. Copy in "Upgrade" source to a new directory on file system; Set Permissions
  2. Copy folders from portals/ directory (except default) from 3.x to 4.35
  3. Backup old database; Restore that backup to a new database
  4. Rename release.config file to web.config
  5. Copy in database connection string to two locations in web.config (change db name)
  6. Move comments (<!-- -->) around so that sql server express is eliminated and 2000/2005 is active, in web.config
  7. Copy validation key and encryption key from old web.config to new web.config
  8. Create a new website, per installation directions (point to new location, select run/execute, set app pool, change asp.net version to 2.0)

What I have done for several sites (mostly from 3.2.2 to 4.5.1) is as folows, with the primary exception being I don't move anything (DB or root directory):

  1. Back-up web.config on 3.x site
  2. Unzip upgrade files into the web root directory.
  3. Copy in database connection string to two locations in web.config (change db name)  (correction -- change in 'release.config)
  4. Move comments (<!-- -->) around so that sql server express is eliminated and 2000/2005 is active, in web.config (correction -- change in 'release.config)
  5. Copy validation key and encryption key from old web.config to new web.config (correction -- change in 'release.config)
  6. If you have custom modules, check those for special web.config configuration
  7. Rename release.config to web.config (again, make sure web.config is backed up)
  8. Browse to site
