Peter,
you should just follow the upgrade path, do not install any beta versions.
Display errors might be caused by compatibility issues of the skin with the new DNN - this is not typical, but some skins do use very old techniques. Switch to default skin/container and check, whether it looks fine. If yes, continue upgrades to DNN 7. check, how your old skin looks now and contact the skinner for an upgrade.
Cheers from Germany,

Hi Peter,


I have no idea if jQuery goes back this far in DNN so this might be rubbish. Are you using hosted jQuery? If so then you may be asking for a version that the upgraded site does not like. Try swapping to unhosted for the upgrade. You can swap back later.

Check that you unblocked the zip files before upgrading. If you don't unblock then sometimes they don't unpack all the files. Never understood how that seems to be random.
Best wishes,

  3. Upgrade from 4.9.0 to 5.2.3

  4. Open Portal in browser

  5. All links using javascript don’t work

  6. Copy files for 5.5.1 to web folder

  7. Open ...\App_Code\XML\Handlers\download.vb

  8. Change “ByVal Response As Web.HttpResponse” to “ByVal Response As System.Web.HttpResponse” and “handleAuthenticateRequest(ByVal context As Web.HttpContext)” to “handleAuthenticateRequest(ByVal context As System.Web.HttpContext)”

  9. Upgrade from 5.2.3 to 5.5.1

  10. Access portal

  11. All links using javascript don’t work

  12. Copy files for 5.6.8 to web folder

  13. Upgrade from 5.5.1 to 5.6.8

  14. Access portal

  15. All links using javascript don’t work

  16. Copy files for 6.1.5

  17. Enter Host user name

  18. Upgrade from 5.6.8 to 6.1.5

  19. Access portal

  20. “Edit Content” link does work, other links using javascript don’t work.

  21. Copy files for 6.2.8 to web folder

  22. Enter Host user name

  23. Upgrade from 6.1.5 to 6.2.8

  24. links still not working

  25. Copy files for 7.0.6 to web folder

  26. Change Application pool to use .Net 4.0 Integrated pipeline mode

  27. Upgrade from 6.2.8 to 7.0.6

  28. .../Install/UpgradeWizard.aspx does not accept host user ID and password.

  29. Stuck!

Hi Peter,

on Upgrades and spezically with big differents on the Versions you must be know that Skins and modules could need upgrades.  Some new Versions of DNN Platform have new jQuery Versions includet, code changes and so on.  So you must check compatibly of Skins and modules before running your upgrade. Please check also your jQuery Settings in your Host Settings, and don't use hosted jQuery Versions for Upgrades.

Change the web.config to block automated updating ... Set autoupgrade=false

Then manually trigger the install
