upgrading from 05.01.01

Hi all,

I am running IIS6 with .net 3.5SP1 on a 2003R2 server.

I am new to professional edition. Just got my license and trying to upgrde an old site.

I am trying to upgrade from 04.07.00 to the most recent and have been using the upgrade path. After figuring out how to rename my log in module, I am now at version 05.01.00 and can't seem to go further.

The next step in the process is 05.02.03 but when I do, I get:

Current Assembly Version: 05.02.03

Current Database Version: 05.01.00

Upgrade Status Report

00:00:00.187 - Upgrading to Version: 05.02.03
00:00:01.328 - Executing Script: 05.01.01.SqlDataProvider

Server Error in '/' Application.

Method not found: 'Boolean DotNetNuke.Entities.Host.ServerController.get_IsWebFarm()'.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Boolean DotNetNuke.Entities.Host.ServerController.get_IsWebFarm()'.

So, I rolled back and decided to just try to go to 05.06.02 directly, but when I do, I get:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Method 'RestoreUser' in type 'DotNetNuke.Security.Membership.AspNetMembershipProvider' from assembly 'DotNetNuke.Provider.AspNetProvider, Version=5.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' does not have an implementation.

Can anyone offer a suggestion?

Re: upgrading from 05.01.01

The first issue is likely caused by a bad web.config file, at least that would be my guess. You might need to compare your web.config to a newer web.config to see if you're missing anything in particular.

As for the second issue, I haven't seem that myself.

Can I ask what process you are using for upgrading? What steps?

Thank you. I will review the web.config.

As to the upgrade process, I looked around the web on how others were doing it and it looked like Beyond Compare was a tool others used. I am simply synchronizing one directory with another using that tool.

Re: upgrading from 05.01.01

Regarding the second error (when upgrading directly from 05.01.00 to 05.06.02), it appears that the following assembly located in the site's \bin folder:

DotNetNuke.Providers.AspNetProvider.dll

either did not get extracted from the 05.06.02 upgrade package or did not get copied over the assembly of the same name (v 5.1.0.0) in the \bin folder. Although you could try re-extracting this assembly file from the upgrade package and copying it to the site's \bin folder, it is likely that this error prevented other parts of the upgrade procedure to execute properly making a roll back to 05.01.00 recommended followed by another upgrade attempt.

Before extracting the files from a .zip archive that you have downloaded from the web you should first "unblock" the archive by rightclicking on the .zip filename or icon, selecting "Properties" from the context menu, then clicking "Unblock". Also, I recommend first extracting the .package to a new, empty folder then copying all of it's contents over the existing DotNetNuke installation allowing any new files to replace those of the same name rather than extracting the upgrade package directly to the existing installation folder.

As for the upgrade path you should be able to go to from 5.01.00 to 5.06.02 directly but others have recommended to use an intermediate step to 5.04.04 then 5.06.02.

Also, I just noticed that you mentioned that you have received a Professional Edition license. Don't forget that you can contact DotNetNuke support (see your license and other information you have received for the contact information) for assistance with Professional Edition upgrade issues.
