Well, my web site is less than half up, but it is at least showing a web page. The upgrade from DNN version 3.x to 5.x required an intermediate upgrade to 4.x, which is why I hired the hosting company to do it in the first place. Well... that upgrade was less than completely successful. The upgrade from 3.x To 4.x was a fairly major change, including moving from .Net 1.x to .Net 2.x. I suspect that the version of SQL Server also changed. Additionally I had used a couple of third party modules to do stuff, and I think those modules were not compatible with 4.x. Anyway, my web site is pretty broke at this point. I expected to have issues, I was hoping for the best, but didn't get that. In fact the web hosting people told me that "my site isn't compatible with DNN 5.X". Now everything I have read says that 4.x to 5.x is "simple" as opposed to the 3.X to 4.X upgrade so I don't know quite what to think at this point. My site is at 4.X and I want to go ahead and get to 5.x. Basically if it is already broken, I might as well just try to get it up to 5.X and then start fixing the stuff. If we happen to have any DNN gurus on the list I could use some guidance. Otherwise I am going to continue onwards trying to learn enough to migrate the site to 5.X and repair everything. -- John W.
