i,

I try to upgrade to DNN 5.1.2 but not with success. I copied the "Upgrade installation" over my DNN installation in my dev (XP Pro). With Subversion I looked over all changes in the web.config and added what has been added to my web.config. I have Framework 3.5 running and AJAX toolkit, so some other lines in the web.config are present. I also have Ifinity url rewrite (which I have turned off now).

I got very weird error, not seen so far in any upgrade: Server Application Unavailable. In the event log I see sometimes:

I tried to connect with VS2008 debugger, but does not run into default.aspx neither in install.aspx if I try to hit that one.

I have no clue what to do or can be wrong. So any help is appreciated.

Faulting application aspnet_wp.exe, version 2.0.50727.3082, stamp 492b8702, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 5.1.2600.5781, stamp 49c4f482, debug? 0, fault address 0x00012afb.

Dear Sebastian,

Thank you for your advice. I did however not touch it when I started, but once I found out it did not work, I added the changed by running over the files with svn. However, similar results. I disabled the urlrewrite of Ifinity then, but for third time no success.

More ideas?

Hi,

I finally resolved this issue myself. If my post won't help you, you can also use a tool recommended on this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/594505/application-failure-in-release-mode

I did next:

1. Remove all dll's from the bin; also dnn module dll's. I will need to reinstall all modules now, but at least this makes sure no strange dll references are present on which the asp.net iis compiler does not want to compile and you will never get into debug mode to find out.
2. Check my custom build applications if they where referencing the correct dll's (of DNN); If you have any, change the reference dll to the latest of dnn.
3. Replaced the Ifinity url rewriter on 2 places in the web.config (first I did on one place and no luck);
4. Remove all temp ASP.NET files from command prompt with next statements:
   1. iisreset /stop
   2. del "%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\*.*" /s/f /q
   3. iisreset /start
5. Then run /install/install.aspx?mode=upgrade since autoupgrade is off in my app
6. I need to rebuild my solution of my custom modules since //ClientAPI.RegisterKeyCapture(txtSearch, lnkSearch, 13); throwed an error . It seems to be missing. No idea why this happened?
7. Finally I will need to upgrade all modules one by one to see what the problem is so that the 'bin' folder gets filled with dll's again.

Hope this will help anybody else.
