Hi,

I am developping an Web Application using DotNetNuke 5.x. I have got the template model installed by the Starter kit. When my Development server load the application, some pages will not show up! Furthermore. I am regurlary logged out whem browsing pages. So, I am wondering whether that release is really stable! 

Cheers,

Hi Obi

For your information, I recently wanted to upgrade my site which is hosted by PowerDNN from 4.9.2 to 5.1 and I got this message:

Although you are looking to upgrade to 5.1, please be aware that we do not recommend that our clients upgrade to this version on their live sites. This version is highly unstable as it has many bugs that yet to be worked out. As such we want you to have the most stable version of Dot Net Nuke and would like to recommend that you upgrade to 4.9.4.

Be aware that if you still would like to upgrade to 5.0+, if anything were to happen to your site there may be additional fees associated with getting you site back to working order.

I am running 5.1.1 in three different instances.   All three are running smoothly as far as I can tell.

What authentication method are you using for login?

Hi Geoffrey

I am getting more and more confused of this forum!!

You say, it's not recommended to upgrade to 5.x, but loyal as I am I upgraded the same day as Bill Walker send a newsletter, where he strongly recommed to upgrade to 5.1.1., because this was stable.

I got a lot of problems with the database, and it tooks me a whole day to solve them - I thought. Now I see, that they are not solved at all!

I took the change with another site, as is a Real Estate site with Ventrians Property Agent - and it looks like that I have to start from scrass to build a new site.

I have been asking in the forum, if I roll back in the right way: I downloaded all files in the dnn folder to my local computer and took a database backup. After the problems, I uploaded all files from the downloaded folder with 5.0.1, and only got errors. I have been asking, if this is a wrong way to do it, and I have been asking, if there is a way to go back to 4.9.4 - but I don't get any answers.

I have many other dnn sites running in 4.9.4, which is working perfect, so they stay as it is - for sure!

Can you tell me, if there is a way to come back to 4.9.4, i.e. with the upgrade zipfile?

Best Regards,

Per

The proper way to roll back is to backup all your files & database before an upgrade. Then if a rollback is needed you delete the current files and restore the files and database you previously backed up.
