I installed the 5.06 (or 5.60 whichever it is) code on my webserver and then restored my 5.04 database.  I went to the website and it upgraded everything with success but then when I go to the main page of the site, it just says DotNetNuke Error and then Windows Vista under that on the left, and Return to Site button.  Any ideas on how to fix this?  Anywhere I can check for errors in the upgrade process?

Thanks,
Greg

An update...

I am new to upgrading DNN so I've done a bit of research and am wondering on how to upgrade my current installation of 5.4.1 to 5.6.0.  I've seen the upgrade chart that says that I need to go to 5.4.4 and then to 5.5.0 and then to 5.60 and not directly from 5.4.1 to 5.6.0.  Is that correct?

If so, I've downloaded and extracted the upgrade code files for 5.4.4, 5.5.0, and 5.6.0.  Now what?  Do I copy them and overwrite my existing files and then go to the site and let it upgrade my database?  I haven't seen any clear instructions on this.  I have skins and containers loaded so I'm just looking for instructions on what to do with the upgrade files.

Please help.

Thanks,
Greg

Looking at the source code of the error page, I see this:

<form method="post" action="ErrorPage.aspx?status=500&amp;error=The+INSERT+statement+conflicted+with+the+FOREIGN+KEY+constraint+%22FK_PortalAlias_Portals%22.+The+conflict+occurred+in+database+%22faithsdc%22%2c+table+%22dbo.Portals%22%2c+column+%27PortalID%27.%0d%0aThe+statement+has+been+terminated." id="Form">

I've tried deleting the alias, restarting, and even manuallying entering it and nothing works. 

Thoughts?

Although you method of upgrading the site does not follow the recommended upgrade procedure it is likely that the error you are experiencing following the upgrade to DotNetNuke 05.06.00 is due to the known issue which affects some (but not all) upgrades and installs thanks to modifications which were made in 05.06.00 to the UrlRewriteModule. Some (but likely not all) of the causes of this issue have been addressed in the forthcoming release of DotNetNuke 05.06.01 due out in a week or so.

Because of this potential issue with 05.06.00, I cannot personally recommend upgrading beyond 05.05.01 at this time.

For the correct method of upgrading an existing site, please refer to the DotNetNuke Wiki page:

http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/W...

As for the upgrade version path, while I can see some value in upgrading in by way of 5.04.04, I have upgraded a number of 4.x successfully by upgrading to 4.09.05 then directly to 5.05.01. I have also successfully upgraded a couple of sites from early 5.01.xx  to 5.05.01. If I were going to change the application pool from ASP.Net 3.5 SP 1 to ASP.Net 4.0, that's the one case in which I would do the intermediate upgrade to 5.04.04 then make the change to ASP.Net 4.0.

The keys to successful upgrades seem to be . . .
  • knowing the situations that might cause a particular upgrade to fail - for example having an earlier version of the XML module installed when upgrading to 5.03.00 or later or having had an earlier version of iFinity URL Master installed when upgrading to 5.05.00 or later.
  • checking (and rechecking) that the ASP.Net worker process account (IIS AppPool Identity account) has been granted full filesystem permissions on the root of the install and all child folders.
  • verifying that your web server and SQL server meet the minimum requirements (ASP.Net 3.5 SP 1 and MS SQL Server 2005/2008) for DotNetNuke 5.02.00 and later or ASP.Net 4.0 for DNN 5.04.04 and later).
  • not making manual modifications to the web.config file prior to upgrading from DotNetNuke 4.06.02 and later. Note that the upgrade packages intentionally do not include a web.config file for that reason.
  • having good backups of BOTH the file system and database taken prior to the upgrade - just in case something does go wrong.

I have figured out the problem isn't even with upgrading now.  I have a currentlt running installation of 5.4.1 on a webserver.  I have copied all of the files and restored a backup of the database.  I set it up on my local server by only changing the database connection string to point to my database server and when I go to the site, I get the error page.  So, it won't even run by moving the current installation to another server.

What do I need to do to move a current installation to another server?  If I could at least do this, I would be very happy.  I think I have the upgrade process down but I need to move to another server.

Please point me in the right direction.  I have spent alot more time on this then I think I should've.  It's a .NET application and SQL database.  I don't understand what is going on by moving it to another server.

Thanks for any suggestions.
Greg
