It has been a couple of days now. I give up. I keep going around in circles. I'm upgrading 5.2 to 5.4.4 and not as succsessful as I would like to see. Frustrating, frustrating, frustrating.
.
1) First problem I had was was permissions with Install/Cleanup files. All directories were set for defaultAppPool/full control. I have been going around in circles, reloading backup, redo upgrade, etc. Finally I got around this but not sure how. I definitely went through the entire webite structure until I got by this error. Remember this is an upgrade so I'm not sure why I have to change permissions that were working before the upgrade.
2) Telerik wrong version issue with dnnWindowManager... nice controls but a bear to manage, I always have some sort of issue with these controls. Took me awhile to get to work but tried some much that, again, I'm not sure what fixed it...
The project currently contains references to more than one version of Telerik.Web.UI, a direct reference to version 2009.3.1104.35 and an indirect reference (through 'DotNetNuke.Web.UI.WebControls.DnnWindowManager') to version 2010.1.309.35. Change the direct reference to use version 2010.1.309.35 (or higher) of Telerik.Web.UI.... I think it was moving 2010.1.309.35 version to the bin directory and updating the bindingRedirect tag in the web.config. That one was weird because I figured I would have to just update 'newVersion' attribute to the 2010.10.1.309.35, but no, what got it to work was, <bindingRedirect oldVersion="2007.1.1.20-2011.4.2000.20" newVersion="2010.1.309.35" />'.
Why? I have no idea. By the way what is the direct reference and who do I change it?
3) That seemed to fix one telerik problem to just give me another version issue. I finally created a test asp page, moved a 2010.1 component on the page, it asked if I wanted to update the file in the bin. I did that, recompiled and it seemed that I have moved passed the telerik isseus (for now).
4) Finally got the default page to come up. I wanted to upload a few extensions. In doing so, I received the following error to display under the list of available extensions:
"at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.Directory.InternalCreateDirectory(String fullPath, String path, DirectorySecurity dirSecurity) at System.IO.DirectoryInfo.Create() at DotNetNuke.Services.Installer.Util.WriteStream(Stream SourceStream, String DestFileName) at DotNetNuke.Services.Installer.InstallerInfo.ReadZipStream(Stream inputStream, Boolean isEmbeddedZip) at DotNetNuke.Services.Installer.InstallerInfo..ctor(Stream inputStream, String sitePath) at DotNetNuke.Services.Installer.Installer..ctor(Stream inputStream, String physicalSitePath, Boolean loadManifest, Boolean deleteTemp) at DotNetNuke.Services.Upgrade.Upgrade.InstallPackage(String strFile, String packageType, Boolean writeFeedback) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Extensions.BatchInstall.InstallPackageItems(String packageType, CheckBoxList list, Label errorLabel, String errorKey) in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\HolyApostleDNN\desktopmodules\Admin\Extensions\BatchInstall.ascx.vb:line 198
":
I tried using uploading, from 'Module Definition', the same module and got the darn access denied problem again on the /temp/ files used for uploading. I have tried all sorts of things to set the permissions correctly and all look like they are but I still cannot upload a new extensions.
Is there any place that has the list of the issues people are running into and how to resolve them. Everytime I google with different search parms, I get different resolution to the problems. I'm not sure why Windows 7 has been out for awhile that we have these issues with upgrading.
What is really frustrating is to hear the DotNetNuke team say... " I have updated all of my sites with no problems at all " . There are a number of common errors that are reported out here in the great world wide web with upgrading but no definitive resolution.
Help if you can.
