So I tried the approach of letting the upgrade make the changes to my existing web.config file.

At first I got a permission error and had to set NETWORK SERVICE permissions.

I updated the permissions and ran the upgrade again. Here is what I got.

Upgrading DotNetNuke
Current Assembly Version: 04.09.01
Current Database Version: 04.05.05

Upgrade Status Report
00: - Upgrading to Version: 4.9.1
00:00:00.015 -   Executing Script: 04.06.00.SqlDataProvider Error! (see 04.06.00.log for more information)

When I tried to access the portal I got this error.

Thanks for any ideas on what I could have done wrong.

Note that for xmlmerge to properly manage changes to your web.config, the site that you are upgrading must be DNN version 4.06.02 or later. It appears that the site you were attempting to upgrade is 4.05.05. If possible, I would roll back to your files and db backup then upgrade first to DNN 4.6.2 using the old approach of copying over the appropriate sections from your existing web.config.

If roll back is not possible, have you taken a look at the sql log files mentioned in the errors?

Also note that only the upgrade version should be used - not the install version since the upgrade version does not contain its own web.config file.

Thanks for the info. I already did the roll back last. night. I will pick a suitable upgrade level and do that and then do the final 4.9.1 upgrade using the xmlmerge approach.
