As a precaution I always try any new upgrade on my local PC before doing it on the server. The original site on my PC was created with the starterkit back in 4.4.0 and was upgraded since then, until 4.5.1 with no problems. I extracted the 4.5.3 upgrade files over the site, and ran it. It all looked to be running OK, but when I was supposed to get the home page back, it failed to connect to the site. I looked at the files on my site, and noticed a file called old_Default.aspx. I tried it and it solved the problem, so I copied it over the new Defaule.aspx.
Now I am not sure if this is a bizar thing that happens only on the ASP.NET development server or something that will happen on my live server as well.
Can anyone enlighten me about this phenomenon?
And also:
What are the implications of using the old Default.aspx?

I have just notices someone else with the same problem,

http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Forums/tabid/795/forumid/107/threadid/139568/threadpage/3/scope/posts/Default.aspx

and it does not seem to be related to a development environment issue. Looks like it is a real upgrade issue. Can anyone help on that?

if your issue is also due to child portals, see my last post in the other thread.

Thanks for your note.

I am not sure if this is the issue in the other thread, but in my case there is no child portal at all. Here is how the new Default.aspx that did not work looks like:

<%

@ Page language="VB" %>@ Import Namespace="DotNetNuke" %>

<

script runat="server">

 

 

Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)Dim DomainName As String

 

Dim ServerPath As String

 

Dim URL() As String

 

Dim intURL As Integer

 

' parse the Request URL into a Domain Name token

URL = Split(Request.Url.ToString(),

 

 

 

"/")For intURL = 2 To URL.GetUpperBound(0)Select Case URL(intURL).ToLowerCase "admin", "desktopmodules", "mobilemodules", "premiummodules"

 

Exit For

 

Case Else

 

' check if filename

 

If InStr(1, URL(intURL), ".aspx") = 0 Then

DomainName = DomainName & IIf(DomainName <>

 

"", "/", "") & URL(intURL)Else

 

Exit For

 

End If

 

End Select

 

 

Next intURL' format the Request.ApplicationPath

ServerPath = Request.ApplicationPath

 

If Mid(ServerPath, Len(ServerPath), 1) <> "/" Then

ServerPath = ServerPath &

"/"

 

End If

DomainName = ServerPath &

Response.Redirect(DomainName,

 

 

</

"Default.aspx?alias=" & DomainNameTrue)End Subscript>
