Hi all,

i think iam the first one who upgraded DNN from 4.3.5 over 4.5.5 up to 4.6.2 sucessfully.

I tryed it 2 weeks and at least the problem was only the "web.config". If you are sure that all files are at the right position and SQL is running fine so look at your web.config!

For example:

My problem was that one:

<add
          name="SqlDataProvider"
          type="DotNetNuke.Data.SqlDataProvider, DotNetNuke.SqlDataProvider"
          connectionStringName="SiteSqlServer"
          upgradeConnectionString=""
          providerPath="~\Providers\DataProviders\SqlDataProvider\"
          objectQualifier=""
          databaseOwner="dbo"/>

I put this commands in one Line, looks like this:

<add name="SqlDataProvider" type="DotNetNuke.Data.SqlDataProvider, DotNetNuke.SqlDataProvider" connectionStringName="SiteSqlServer" upgradeConnectionString="" providerPath="~\Providers\DataProviders\SqlDataProvider" objectQualifier="" databaseOwner="dbo"/>

Be patiant that you ONLY copy the values (in "") from your old web.config!

I know, normaly you can write it in one line. It sounds very stupid but try it.

You have to copy this Values:

<connectionStrings>................</connctionStrings>

<appSettings>.......(2 times of "<add key="SiteSql...")

<add key="UseInstallWizard" value="false"/>

<machineKey validationKey="..."............... />

<codeSubDirectories> .................</codeSubDirectories>

<add name="SqlDataProvider....(look at the top of this Post there is the String)..../>

I hope that i could help you

greetings Marc

PS: Sorry for my bad english.
