Hi and thanks for reading -

I just upgraded Events Module from Version 04.00.02 to Version 05.00.01 in DNN 4.08.04 and now the tab that I have my event module on it now presents only the runtime error message as pasted here:

 Server Error in '/' Application.

Runtime Error

The Event Viewer shows:

InnerException: Unhandled Error:
FileName:
FileLineNumber: -1
FileColumnNumber: -1
Method:
StackTrace:
Message: System.Exception: Unhandled Error: ---> System.Web.HttpException: Request timed out.--- End of inner exception stack trace ---

There was a significant number of events in that module that I would like very much to recover. The new Events module Ver 5 can be placed successfully on a new tab, but it is empty of events. When I tried to link it to my old Event Module, it also threw the same runtime error.

Can I somehow still move the old events into the new upgraded module? Or Do I need to restore from backup to get the events back? If I have to restore, how do I upgrade the Events module successfully next time? Thanks for your help!

I cleaned out the transaction log, the event log and the schedule history and site log. The Events module still throws the runtime error.

I restored the site and database, then cleaned the logs, upgraded DNN to 4.09.04 and then upgraded the Events module. Still, it throws the runtime error.

I must clarify that it is the instance of the module that already had data and was in use on the site that is throwing the error. When I create a second instance of the Events module, it appears to work fine. Which means all my events are not accessable and must be re-entered.

Looking at the data in the Events table, I notice that my recurring events have records one-a-week from now until year 2050. That's a lot of records for each recurring event. I started to clean out all the records from 2012 until 2050, but my delete query failed after a long time (2 hours). Instead, I changed the module ID in some of the records from the old instance of the Events module to my new one. That event shows up fine on the new calendar - however if I try to edit that event using the Events module, I get another error.

I'm now starting to manually re-enter the events into the new Events module. I'd like to be able to copy the events from the old module to the new. But I need to know the process for that. The events table seems to be all I need. Is that true? Is there another post in here somewhere that has instructions for doing this?

Thanks.

Sory for the delay, been away on holiday.

Version 5.0.1 has bad performance with large recurring event data sets. I would recommend upgrading to 5.0.2 which is currently going through the release process, but very significantly improves performance against recurring events (and in some other areas as well).

Note that you can't just change the moduleid on the events record to make it show in the new module. To be complete you would need to update the moduleid in the linked EventsRecurMaster table - linked on RecurMasterID
