Hello,

I have the done the following to upgrade my site:

1. Download upgrade package 5.2.2

2. Take new web.config and replaced inside the values for connection string, and machnie, validation and decryption keys.

3. Connected via FTP to my production site and sent all the upgrade package files and new web.config files to site's folder, by replacing the old files

4. Went to site's root via URL

5. THE PROBLEM IS HERE

DotNetNuke Installation Wizard - Version 05.02.02

Welcome to the DotNetNuke Installation Wizard. This wizard will guide you through the installation of your DotNetNuke Application.

You may navigate through the Wizard using the Next and Previous buttons. On some pages you will see a third button "Test ...". This button will allow you to test the configuration before you continue, to see the effects of changes.

The first step is to select the installation method to use and to choose the language you would like to use for the Installation.

It's like installing the DNN from scratch. I closed the browser's window and didn't follow the wizard.

Instead, I typed this url: http://www.mysite.com/Install/Install.aspx?mode=upgrade

After that, I have seen upgrade messages with success.

And now, I lost everything. My site's first page is standard DNN first installation page, and I can't login to the site anymore.
My credentials are not valid.

Please help to resolve this problem. I don't know what to do.

Thank you.

Ok, now I know that web.config file is upgrading automatically.

I have 4 sites. The upgrade was perfect for 3 of them, but the last one refused to upgrade without errors.

I followed the standard steps to upgrade this site: replaced files from Upgrade Package 5.2.2 and went to the site's root page to upgrade.

I received then these two errors:

00:00:05.156 -   Installing Package File FileModuleCachingProvider_05.02.01_Install:  Error!
00:00:05.406 -   Installing Package File MemoryModuleCachingProvider_05.02.01_Install:  Error!

Now, the Home Page of my site is not displaing, has empty boxes and on the top, I have this error message:

CRITICAL ERROR
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

And, also, I cannot access the Host Settings:

Error: Host Settings is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Host.HostSettings.BindModuleCacheProviderList() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Host.HostSettings.BindData() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Host.HostSettings.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

I have standard modules, nothing special that would break my site's work.

What it could be? And what can I do?

Thank you in advance.
 

Glad you were able to get straightened out.  And thank you for posting your solutions!
