Upgrading the source have the same procedure as for the install.  What package are you using for the upgrade ?

Hi Matthias,

I have downloaded the full source package for dnn 5.5.0.
The intention is to do this as a fresh install of 5.5.0 that I will re-apply my custom modules to.
I do need to upgrade the old 5.4.4 database.

I copy the developer.config, rename as web.config and copy the connection strings and machine key from the old 5.4.4 web config.
IIS is re-pointed at the new  /Website subdirectory. I restart IIS and restart SQL Server.
I compile and run the new source project against the old 5.4.4 database with the "/Install/Install.aspx?mode=upgrade" url.
I'm using Windows XP, IIS6 and Visual Studio 2010, SQL Express 2008 and compiling against ASP.NET 3.5.

Is it normal for an upgrade from 5.4.4 to begin at installing 5.0 and continue on.
When I upgraded from 5.4.2 to 5.4.4 the upgrade started at 5.4.2, not 5.0.
It is like the upgrade is performing a full install instead of an upgrade.
I can post some screen shots tomorrow when I get in to work.

Colin

using the url: http://localhost/DotNetNuke_Community/Install/Install.aspx?mode=upgrade
I get the below dialog. It looks like it is installing, not upgrading ... any idea why?

It is definitely doing a new install rather than upgrade from DNN 5.04.04, most likely because you did not transfer the objectQualifier value from the existing web.config to the new web.config (which you renamed from development.config). That is one of the reasons that when upgrading you should never manually try modify the new web.config (either included in an install package or renamed from development.config or release.config in a source package). The upgrade process (since version 4.06.02) will automatically modify your existing web.config.

If you look at your database you will most likely find tables of the same name but having different objectQualifier prefixes - for example: dbo.DNN_Modules and dbo.Modules. Because the tables beginning with the prefix "aspnet_" are shared among installs with different objectQualifiers, there will be only one of each of those tables. Which, I believe is the cause of the duplicate username error you also received when the install tried to create the new portal.

If you have backups of the files AND database prior to the upgrade attempt, I would recommend that you restore the backups then repeat the upgrade without modifying or otherwise copying over your existing web.config.

Also, when doing a source upgrade I feel safer first deleting all of the source code folders - BuildScripts, DotNetNuke.Web, Library, Modules, and Tests then copying fresh folders from the extracted source package. That eliminates the possibility that some source files/child folders might have been deleted or their folder structure changed in the new source version. I then copy the contents of the extracted Website folder of the source package (without renaming development.config or release.config to web.config) over the existing Website folder contents then proceed as usual with triggering the upgrade.

Finally, if you have made any changes to the .sln VS solution file - and in particular have changed the IIS website URL - you will have to re do that change in the new solution file before opening the project in VS.

Thank you William, it worked a treat.
Lesson learned, trust the system to upgrade the web.config.
Here is what I ended up doing.
  1. Backup everything, database and original source.
  2. Make a fresh 5.05.05 source directory with brand new source code.
  3. Copy in the old web.config. Make sure that Autoupgrade is set to False.
  4. Copy in any Custom Desktop Modules and any installed 3rd party modules (iWeb)
  5. Copy in any custom App_Code files (iWeb)
  6. Copy the /bin DLL's as needed (Telerik.Web.UI.dll versioning error)
  7. Re-point IIS to the new directory structure of the fresh install
  8. Re-Start IIS and re-start SQL.
  9. Load everything up into Visual Studio and run the upgrade from the /install/install.aspx?mode=upgrade url. Wait for DNN to do its thing.
  10. Copy across any skins and containers as required.
Bliss.
