I am doing dnn upgrade to dnn 4.9.5 using 'upgrade package'. Though I don't my current exact version but I am 100% sure its 4.8 or greater. So followed these guidelines from this link (http://www.mitchelsellers.com/blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/243/upgrade-to-dnn-490-from-462-or-later.aspx)

From that link I gathered that I can simply (after taking backups)

a) overwrite the files (of existing dnn root directory) after unzipping the upgrade package

b) And navigate the site to http://www.mysite.com/install/install.aspx?mode=install  (replacing mysite with my domain name).

Now a) is done and by looking at timestamps on some of the folders I can tell it is updated. But when I did b) I see nothing. Hooking up fiddler I can see the http request is simply returning 200 (for the above request).

Couple questions

1) How do determine my existing dnn version number

2) Am I doing this right ? If yes, then could it be that I already have 4.9.5 and that is why there is no action being taken for ?mode=install command ? Although I am pretty certain I shouldn't have 4.9.5 if it was released just last september since my current one was deployed Feb 2009.

thanks for any help.

Regarding upgrade procedure:

• unzip files
• browse your site. If you turned off autoupgrade in web.config, you need to browse /install/install.aspx?mode=upgrade.

as fas as I can see, there is no issue with the error reported, in this case please ignore it.
