      I hope you did a backup before you upgraded?
      In DNN 9 there has been quite a cleanup of the code.
      A lot of legacy code (that was marked as legacy for years) has been removed.
      The effority user module is most likely using one of those and AFAIK this module is not developed any more.
      You have 2 options.
      A. Uninstall the module before you upgrade (and look for an alternative module, if needed)
      B. Find the source of the module and fix the compatibility issues.

       

      I'm not 100% sure, but I think the source can be found here: https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=userdirectory

        Timo's advice is sound. In addition, I'd suggest the following:

        - Restore to the original website before the upgrade.
        - Uninstall any non-core extensions that aren't in use
        - Upgrade any non-core extensions that have updates available (even and especially the commercial ones, which may require new license fees)
        - Upgrade from 9.1.1 to 9.2.2 first.
        - Test and ensure everything went well
        - If everything is good-to-go and tests well, now upgrade from 9.2.2 to 9.3.2

        DNN Platform 9.2.2: https://github.com/dnnsof.../releases/tag/v9.2.2

        Just in case it helps, here's a presentation I did at DNN Summit recently. It walks you through some of the upgrade processes we follow.

          Also, when you get to the step of 9.3, use 9.3.2 instead of 9.3.0 to get the latest fixes, some of which had to do with upgrades. But yes, that specific issue you are having is related to the module.

            thank you all for your suggestions. the user directory module is not being used. I will remove it and try the upgrade again.

            @Daniel: we are only seeing evoq 9.3.0 on our download portal and per DNN support that is the latest version available.

              That's correct, and I'm not aware of when Evoq might have their next release. :(

                  First, be sure you back up the website files and database.  Next, in general, I'd tell you that you'd always want to delete the files.

                  The only time I don't delete the files is when I know there is a shared file I need to keep (e.g., a shared DLL in the bin folder).  Even then, I'd go in and manually delete everything else, as necessary.

                      Usually, only the DesktopModules and Bin folders. Sometimes, you'll find some of the module files in the App_Data folder as well, but it depends on the module itself.  Occasionally, you'll find files related to the module in the Portals folders, but those files are usually not something that would impact the website in any way.  It really depends on the module.
