btw, this site really needs a "Fix It!" forum. :(
I installed 4.3.5 a month or two ago. This was my first DNN installation. I've had some struggles, but all in all things were going OK.
I don't want to get too far behind the current version. This is mainly because I don't want to have difficult upgrades. Well, so much for that idea. I just upgraded to 4.3.7. Now, I can't authenticate. More on that below. Here's what I did:
- I made a backup copy of my entire website folder.
- Then I made a backup copy of my web.config file.
- I unzipped the DotNetNume_4.3.7_Upgrade.zip file over my current website.
- I copied release.config to web.config and adjusted the SQL connections strings in the new web.config.
- Then I went to http://localhost/
- Nothing seemed to happen in terms of the upgrade, I just got my regular home page.
So I tried to log in. I have two accounts, one "normal" user and one "super user". Neither would log in. I tried the default host and admin accounts, and they would not log in either.
Out of desparation, I renamed the current website folder and the backup website folder, to get back to 4.3.5. This time, when I went to http://localhost/, I got an upgrade page stating that the assemblies were 4.3.5 and the database was 4.3.7. That was hopeful, so I switched the folders back around. But I still can't log in. Here's what I get from Event Viewer's Application log:
