In an attempt to upgrade from DNN 8.00.4 to 9.1.1 I encountered the following issue.  I am posting this more as an FYI than as a request.  I spent several hours researching this yesterday and wanted to let people know that I did find other people having the issue, but did not find where anyone had posted any solutions.  Please note that this is NOT an issue of the Persona Bar not displaying.  It does display, but almost all of the Host and Admin features are missing.  The only features that did display were the Assets options.  It did allow me to go into Edit Mode, but did not allow me to add modules or edit the Page properties.  I ended up having to roll back to 8.00.4.  If anyone does eventually figure out what this upgrade issue is, I believe there are others who could benefit.  Note that this occurs after the upgrade appears to completed successfully.  

 

 

Hi Alex,

I would definitely say that your issues are not normal.  There have been many successful upgrades to 9.1.1 .  Unfortunately, we haven't been able to work with anyone that has had these issues.  I'm replying mainly so that if anyone else sees the post and has these problems, please email me: will -at- dnnsoftware.com.  We want to understand why this type of situation does occur for some users.

Thanks,

Will

we have the same issue upgrading from 8.3.0 to 9.1.1 and dev tools reveals a 404 error for the request http://OurSite.com/API/personaBar/loc...

perhaps it is a localization issue as our portal is set to english NZ

I have been looking through these forums for issues similar to mine and this was the closest so will post here.

I have a DNN site that started at version 6.2 and has been upgraded over the years to 7 and then 8.  I've just tried a v9.1.1 upgrade on it and it went smoothly until anyone non-Host tried to edit the site - they weren't seeing the Edit pencil icon in Personabar.  There was also no Content menu from where to change Pages.  The other two (Manage and Settings) were working correctly.  I reset permissions on the page and then removed their Adminstrators role and added it back in - but nothing fixed it. 
I  then found a mention to the PeronaBarMenuPermission table and had a look in there.  The site is actually made up of 4 portals with the main one being portal = 0 and having two languages.  I noticed that the PeronaBarMenuPermissions table only had a single entry each for MenuId = 1 and MenuId = 5.  These are the Content menu and the Edit (ie pencil) menu.   The PortalId for both of these was 2 (one of the other portals in the install).  So I manually added a row for Portal 0 and Cleared Cache and now the Admins can edit! 
I guess there was some issue during the upgrade however I didn't receive an error at the time.  I've upgraded several other DNN sites to v9 without this happening so it must be something specific to the site.
