Holy Crap! What a list! Umm, can I pay someone to do this? I would so break something. How much would I be charged for this? Do you know anyone who would do this?

Yikes! I had an old client come back from the dead, with his DotNetNuke site that I built in 2006 in Version 04.03.04.

It's hosted at GoDaddy.

He asked me to make some changes, it acted wonky and then I saw a big red button in the Host Settings page that read "Critical Updates Available."

This is the site: http://www.matthews-hanna.com

I took a screenshot of the host settings, but having trouble uploading it here. The image manager in this editor won't let me upload from my computer. Ugh.

HELP! (Maiden in distress ;)

Question about upgrade path:

Assume you have 2 identical DNN sites set up separately. The first site, Site1, is upgraded using upgrade path described in the DNN Wiki and working. Now, since the filesystem of Site1 should up upgraded now, would it work to just replace all files at the second site, Site2, with the files from Site1, and then just execute an upgrade to upgrade the database?

 We have tried this on a few of our testsites, and so far the result hasn't been all that great at all, besides all SQL scripts executing without any errors (at least none that DNN detects). If it is not possible to do like this, why not?

unless you are running a web farm, you should upgrade each site individually.

 Could you please elaborate a bit on why this is the case? Ie what actions are not performed if you point and updated website to a not upgraded database?

upgrade does also modify some of the files (like web.config) in sync ith database settings, which will not be in sync, if you copy over files from the upgraded site.
