I was using DotNetNuke 4.9.4 which is using A SQL Server 2000 db.
First upgraded to 4.9.5
Then 5.1.2. Now i am running on a dedicated server with SQL Server 2008.
I had various problems. I'm trying to solve them.
First problem was HTML module, i fixed it with a bunch of SQL Coding and i will publish workaround at my blog.
The second problem was residing with the current skins. I guess my skins was not compatible with 5.x series, but i didn't expect this outcome.
Now i am trying to change Host Skin, it does not let me go to Host Settings page.

I went to check DefaultAdminSkin at database and i couldn't find under HostSettings table.
I compared HostSettings table of a new install and this upgraded version and i can tell that, for some reason a row for DefaultAdminSkin is no longer placed at HostSettings table.
The result is:
I am unable to navigate to HostSettings, SiteSettings, ModuleSettings and any place there is connected with DefaultAdminSkin.
If anyone willing to help, i would appreciate.
