I am following the DNN upgrade path as recommended on the community site.

But after  DNN 9.3.2 zip is extracted over the current DNN 9.01.01 installation , I can't access install/UpgradeWizard.aspx

The directory /install is however accessible 

I am getting the below error, can someone help ?

Server Error in '/' Application.

The resource cannot be found.

Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.  Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Requested URL: /install/UpgradeWizard.aspx
 

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.7.3282.0

Is the file actually missing from that directory?

If I were in your shoes, I would revert back to the 9.1.1 installation and verify that it is working. Then I would check to see that your upgrade package is unblocked, and then extract it over the 9.1.1 installation.

Before starting off the upgrade, verify that the install directory is populated correctly by comparing it to what is in the upgrade package.

Then try the upgrade again.

Make sure you've unzipped the upgrade package, and not the install package. I've been wrong sometimes and got that same error.

In addition to Francicso's post: If you unzipped the install package over the existing site, make sure to restore the web.config before you continue, otherwise you will run into a mess with your user accounts...

Happy DNNing!

Also, don't forget to unblock the upgrade zip file before attempting to use it for the upgrade.
