Jumping straight to the chase, I am an idiot.  If you do not agree just based on the fact that I typed it, then you will most certainly agree when I tell you that I stupidly did not backup at all before this upgrade.  I have done backups before every other upgrade - even the minor ones - and never had the revert to them.  Especially with a major release I know I should have, but like I said...

Anyhow, I used FTP to send up the upgrade package and ran the install.aspx in upgrade mode.  Nothing seemed to happen.  Now, when I go to the site I do not see any images on the home page and trying to login I get the error below.  If this looks familiar and there is an easy fix, please let me know.  If there are any experienced DNN admins/developers lurking who might be interesting in trying to sort out this mess then please let me know and we will work something out.  

I do not have a lot of content on my site, but what I do have would be nice to keep.  

Thanks!
Dave

i'd recommend you check your web.config against one from a 6.0 download - my first instinct would be to check that the folder provider definitions are there e.g.

I got a little help (as I was headed to airport on Friday), and my host was able to restore the site prior to the upgrade attempt.  I will go through the update later, with proper backups, when I have more time to do it the right way :)

Thanks for the response!

PS -- my host is 3essentials, and they have always been exceptional with regards to support.

I´m Having exactly the same problem upgrading on my godaddy server. You can check this out in www.ruralwork.es/dotnetnuke   because the upgrade is done by them I cannot access the original config.sys. I have a backup of the site without the upgrade.
Any suggestions

Hi, do we have a solution for this? I am having the same problem on both an upgrade and a new install.

Thanks, Olivier
