Downloaded the.4.8 upgrade zip file, and unzipped it over the top of my 4.3.5 site that i had working. i am a godaddy customer and of course their server patch broke the announcements module on my site, so i am trying to figure out how to fix it... i finally got them to give me a copy of all the dnn site files (they are kept in a virtual private directory someplace that the customers can't access...) and downloaded the db to my local server, and ran the sp_change_users_login command on the db so i could log in, and added a portal alias for the new server name, and that was all working (as it was on the hosted server - broken) before the upgrade.

OK i am stumped on this one... read the doc, searched the forums, and got absolute zero. For some reason after upgrading from 4.3.5 to 4.8, my DNN site seems to think it lives in C:\ even though it clearly is in a sub folder on the D: drive... i searched every file and scoured most of the database for references to C:\ but found nothing. It seems to be in code someplace perhaps that it trys to do a map path perhaps and cant, so defaults to c:\? i copied the specific file to actual c:\ but then it was looking for something else there too, so it indicated a bigger problem that just one file. Somehow it thinks that its webroot is c:\...

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

thx much!

I to am trying to upgrade but from 4.04? to 4.08 and have a similar error:

[FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'c:\DotNetNuke.config'.]
   System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) +1971213
   System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, Int32 rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy) +998
   System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share) +114

Anyone else find a solution?!

If performing an upgrade with a version prior to DNN 4.6.2 you have to transfer the settings from web.config to the new release.config and then rename release.config to web.config.

The settings you need to transfer are the database connection strings and the machine key. Also any entries in the "codeSubDirectories" section.
