Hi all,

I've tried upgrading my current installation (5.3.2) to both 5.5.1 and 5.6.1 but I get odd results.

Background - what I do when I set up Portals is as follows:
Language - ensure English (GB) language installed and has English (US) as fallback
Set English (GB) as default in admin, other settings
Disable English(US) in Admin, Languages,
Select English (US), click Edit Language, untick enabled

So I end up with English(GB) portal, with English(US) as fallback (but not enabled). Don't know if this is bad, but it's what I've been doing!
Part of the reason for this is that I dont want a whole nasty language-based URL
ie http://localhost/Home/tabid/94/language/en-GB/Default.aspx
instead of
http://localhost/
but I need to run eb-GB for calendars etc giving the correct date format.

When I upgrade, if I go to ANY of the portals on my installation and look at Admin/Site settings I get the title, description, copyright etc of portal 0 - not the correct information. Also, the _content_ from portal 0 turns up on the page http://localhost/ but not on http://localhost/Home.aspx (which is basically the same page, right?) of ALL the portals. Wierd!

So looking at the PortalLocalization table, before upgrade I've got 1 entry per portal, with the correct info, CultureCode en-US.
After upgrade, I've got 2 entries for each portal. 1 as before (the correct data and en-US) and a new one with the data of portal 0, and en-GB.

I'm assuming that the upgrade process doesnt find the en-GB data it wants for some reason, and then makes it up using the data of the first portal it finds! I' reproduced this several times and would be grateful if someone could give it a go and see if you get it too (or is this a known issue?), or if anyone can suggest a workaround for either the language issue or the upgrade issue.

I can give before/after data etc if anyone needs it ...
It really seems to mess things up!
THanks ,
Rob

Thanks Phillip, I've logged this as a bug. This seems to open up a larger question about localisation for me. Firstly - how do I change the 'system' language/localisation? Each time I create a portal, it automatically creates it with en-US default language, en-US in the portal localisation table, etc. I then got through and change these settings to en-gb in various places in DNN and the database. Many thanks Rob

I havent tried it but I believe that changing the web.config setting to en-GB should do that for you.
