Dotnetnuke 05.01.00 Upgrade Screenshot

[PS: As part of consolidation, I am moving all my Dotnetnuke & SharePoint related blog post from http://www.laksha.net/Dotnetnuke.aspx to http://blog.laksha.net.]

NOTE: BETA versions of DotNetNuke 05.01.00 are NOT to be used for production sites. Also always do the testing first on a development envirnment e.g. I have created a copy of my website at my local machine using host file. http://www.lakshadev.net. Also always ensure you backup your sites and data before attempting any upgrade. 

This post cover upgrade from Dotnetnuke 04.09.02 to Dotnetnuke 05.01.00.

Upgrade Steps:

  • Download the UPGRADE package for the 05.01.00 version of DotNetNuke from the DotNetNuke.com website. Please note download UPGRADE package.
  • Take a backup of your current Dotnetnuke installation folder (website folder).
  • Unzip it UPGRADE package over your existing Dotnetnuke installation folder (website folder). This will update all DotNetNuke core files and prepare you to install the upgrade.
  • Open http://www.websitename.com/install/install.aspx?mode=install e.g. http://www.lakshadev.net/install/install.aspx?mode=install. This will start the upgrade wizard.  All needed web.config changes will be merged and your site will be upgraded. 
  • Once upgrade complete you will see a success message as shown bellow. Note any error message you may see. In my case I saw following errors:
