Hi all,

First upgrade comin' up!

I've read Chris's excellent guide.

I'm running the Community edition, 5.5.1 - it says on the Extension tab.

I want to skip the last upgrade, and go straight to the latest.  I assume this is supported?  (Do I need to do both?).

My main question though, is following the guide, there are two main upgrade options.  I want to proceed with the second option - create a new IIS site and repository.

So I'll copy the old repository to the new, apply the upgrade.  Simple.

My question is, do I need to do the "app_offline" rename thing?  I don't really see the point so far - as the new repository won't become live until it's all done and working.

Cheers,  Duncan.

Well I've gone ahead and done it.

But I don't think it's worked.

I skipped step 7 - don't that that should be in the docs "Configure IIS for a new website with a host header for upgrade.dnndocs.net" ???

It's been sitting on the same screen for about 20 minutes now...

Upgrading DotNetNuke

Current Assembly Version: 05.06.01

Current Database Version: 02.01.02



Upgrade Status Report

That's all I've got.

Any help appreciated.  Duncan.

sorry, Duncan, but you CANNOT upgrade from 2.1.2 to 5.6.1 in a single steps (skipping 5 years of DNN history ;)) I suggest upgrading via DNN 3.2.3, 4.3.7, 4.6.2, 4.9.5 and 5.4.4. you may follow my upgrade check list: http://www.deutschnetnuke.de/tabid/186/Default.aspx

Jeez, many thanks Sebastian, I *think* you may have cracked it for me. Yes, I do run an old 2.12 version of DNN. Still running. Hence I'm manually updating those old site to new. So I *think* what's happened is that I've backed up and restored the wrong database (don't quite know how I did that - as I'm sure I picked the DNNV5up db. But obviously not! ) Cheers, will retry with the 5.5.1 DB - and see how we get on this time :) Duncan.

Gee that looks better :) - thanks again Sebastian - scary! - I had no backup of my DNNV551 DB - as I had backed up the old 'Dotnetnuke' db my mistake (DNN V 2.12) :) (actually, I have, on the main server backup).
