    Hi,

    I am trying to upgrade DNN to 9.6.1 from 4.8.3. Completed prerequisites like .net version etc. Now there is an upgrade path I followed and the upgrade was a success but,

    Our project is setup in such a way, there are 20 different projects under the root. They don't know what DNN is, we have an installer which takes the 4.8.3 install files from root along with some of our project files and creates a website folder under those 20 projects which now basically has 4.8.3 install files. Then when we do an install=installResources on 20 of them (20 applications in IIS application pool, each project has its own website path).

    So now I upgraded the root to 9.6.1 and then our installer tries to copy them to 20 of them, and then when i run install=installresources url on every one of them, I get this error -

    I read in DNN community that these errors are

    "DotNetNuke.Data.SqlDataProvider script contains initial data to set up your portal. it is not re-runnable and assumes to run against a blank database using fixed id values."

    So, are these errors because the root is already upgraded and then my installer is copying those already installed initial data to 20 of them? And then when ran an installresources on 20 of them they could not find that initial data?

    Now I'm thinking if DNN Install is a better solution than upgrade? So the idea is empty the 4.8.3 contents in my root and replace them with 9.61 and will there be any additional steps to ensure its correct?

    I'm confused the waythis is going. Can someone please help me find a better route with this upgrade? Thank you very much in advance.

      Be careful, and I hope that you have MADE BACKUPS before you started.

      Also, I don't entirely understand what you mean by "there are 20 different projects under the root." Is this 20 separate DNN portals, all in one install, or something else.

      You should also know that installing DNN over something that exists will destroy whatever is there, so doing a DNN install and moving content should be done by installing DNN somewhere that doesn't overwrite what you have.

      It is clear that you don't have a simple situation here, so you're going to need to educate yourself a bit better before you take the plunge into the upgrade.

      The DNN upgrade can be done, and it will require some work. You should also find the "recommended upgrade path" in the documentation of this website. Depending on the experience and skill level available to you, it might make sense to get some help from someone who knows how to do all of this. They are available!
