I think you have to stop and investigate after step 5. I see no point in moving forward until it's fixed at that stage. If it doesn't work there I see little hope that it will magically get fixed later.

What do you mean by javascript links - I don't recognize that as a standard term? Can you login? (The login page uses a linkbutton, so that relies on javascript.)

This is still haunting me. 

I now did the following:

I set up a complete new DNN 4.9 site. It runs on Win7/ IIS 7.5. All just standard setup. App Pool runs under .Net 2.0.50727 Integrated. 

I logged in and everything works. 

I update to 5.2.3 and guess what, same issues. Most linkbuttons don't work. Login and Register don't work. Simple http links do work. 

So this proves it is not specific to my web site I want to upgrade. Not specific to any skin or module. The same problem exists with a 4.9 default DNN site upgraded to 5.2.3. 

I found this in the DNN EventLog:

AssemblyVersion: 5.2.3

Any ideas?

Cheers

Ok went back to the original site. My theory was, if all regular updates would have been applied ....

So I updated 4.9.0 -> 4.9.1 -> 4.9.2 -> 4.9.3 -> 4.9.4 -> 4.9.5 - all good so far -> 5.1.0 and here it breaks.

I just failed to repro your experiment:
- did a brand new install of 4.9.0 (Win 7/Sqlexpress2008r2)
- site came up
- did upgrade install to 5.2.3 - site didn't start the upgrade at first, realized I had AppPool set to .Net 4. Switched it to .Net 2
- upgrade ran clean
- site came up
- login and registration work. I'm on IE10 and I tried BOTH native mode and compatibility mode.

It is possible that some of your trouble might be browser related. Try using FireFox, and or Chrome against it. I doubt it's anything to do with the server side exceptions, but it might explain scrambled skin and javascript urls not working.

Thank you all for your patience with this. And thank you Richard for your suggestions. I was thinking the same and it is the first I check using other browsers. The issue exists in all three browsers I have installed, IE 10, Chrome 28 and Firefox  22. As well as IE for Win 8. 

I now installed it on a domain I had free. This is on the same hosting provider as my production site. The url is www.flaxbasket.co.nz 

I copied my prod site across, made sure all is ok and then I upgraded to 5.2.3. Same effect, if you click on i.e. "login" nothing happens. I am not worried about skin issues and scrambled layout. Could I please ask you to see if it is the same if you go to the above page? 

I am really desperate now. I need to update this page. I was thinking if there is another way I could follow. I installed a blank DNN 7 on my local machine and looked into importing user data. But it seems not a trivia task. I am happy to build a new page as long as I could at least import my customer's data. I am not even too concerned about order history or products etc. But the customer/user data is the most important.  

Thanks for all the time you spent on this so far. 

Cheers

Peter
