What about skins and application components you already have setup. I did the upgrade as you suggested and it overwrote all of my portals in the portals folder. What files from the upgrade actually need to move for the core upgrade?

What do you mean it overwrote your portals?

If you look at the Upgrade package, the Portals folder in that package shouldn't contain anything that would actually overwrite your files, unless you're modifying files that come within DNN itself.

I just got done trying to upgrade and now the site just spits runtime errors at me.

I made backups of everything though, so it shouldnt be to hard to remedy. However, could some PLEASE help a guy out and shed some insight down on my folly?

I selected all the files in the update package and copied them over to the root dir replacing the existing files. Am I supposed to change something in the .config? Am I missing a step? I noticed while files were copying that some files may have had the same names, but maybe werent overwriting the existing file because the first letter was Uppercase or Lowercase while the one to replace it was not.

Anyway, I'd glady buy a drink if it would get someone to help this guy out lol. cheers!

Maybe I missed something in the reading, but it says to unzip all the contents from the upgrade file to your site location, I do that and the portals folder gets overwritten with just the default_ folder showing inside. So, let me ask again. What files exactly need to move from an upgrade file. I'm going to try moving from 4.5.2 to 4.5.5 this weekend.

Thanks,

De'Wayne

No offense, but it really amazes me that people don't understand how a COPY/PASTE works.

Copying and pasting files, over an existing directory, will only replace the files that exist in both the COPY and PASTED information. Anything that exists in only the COPY will get copied to the new location, anything that exists in only the PASTED location will remain in the pasted location.

To upgrade from 4.5.2 to 4.5.4 you would extract the UPGRADE Zip file over your website folder.

Backup everything first, as with all new module installs or upgrades.

Ok, I've gotten the upgrade to work. However, when I log in as the host admin my version says 4.5.2 not 4.5.5, which is what is posted on the portal. I used the upgrade download. any reason why? It also show in the notification that a new release, 4.5.5, is out. I thought that's what I was getting.

Thanks,

De'Wayne
