Re: Default language missing after upgrade

if languages are not inserted int o languages table, there is an upgrade issue.

In DNN 5, languages need to be explicitly enabled per portal (other than DNN4, where they are activated automatically)

Re: Default language missing after upgrade

That makes sense. I can tell you that the PortalLanguages table is completely empty after upgrade. (At least this is the case in my upgrade...)

The upgrade should probably take the value of the DefaultLanguage column from the portal table and make the entry in the portal language table on upgrade.

Re: Default language missing after upgrade

A year since then and a few version further. This is still an issue. I went from 4.8 to 5.2.2 and after that, I cannot update the Site Settings or the Edit Portals screens anymore. I manually entered something in the PortalLanguages table. After a clean (changed web.config) and a restart this helped.

This is more than just a nuisance, it breaks critical functionality (i.e., changing skins is not possible anymore, because the same screen requires a non-null value for the language, which isn't available). Was this submitted as a bug report?

Re: Default language missing after upgrade

I always suggest upgrading to DNN 4.9.5 first.
