DNN 9.1.1 -> 9.3.2 Started By Andreas Hi, Am currently facing a problem trying to upgrade our DNN from 9.1.1 to 9.3.2 as suggested by the upgrade path. After launching 'https://127.0.0.1/Install/install.aspxmode=upgrade' I got some exceptions because of multiple SharpZipLib.Dll instances. I deleted ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll and that seems to have fixed the error. When launching it again, I get another exception in ReportsController.vb: Exception type: HttpCompileException Exception message: D:\Inetpub\wwwroot...	8	4589	1	10/14/2019 9:19 PM by Andreas

Upgrading 4.9.5 to 5.4.4 Started By Andreas I am trying to upgrade an old DNN site from 4.9.5 to 5.4.4, with the aim of ultimately getting to the current DNN version. The upgrade produces two errors: Executing Application Upgrades: 05.01.00 Error! Executing Application Upgrades: 05.03.00 Error! I have seen quite a few status reports having those two fail without finding an explanation or solution for it. Am I right in my assumption that during that phase, changes to web.config are being made I checked the DNN events after...	23	9970	1	10/2/2019 6:34 AM by Andreas

Unable to deploy modules in child portals. Started By Peter Goodhue We recently upgraded to DNN 9.3.2 from 8.0.4 We support multiple child sub portals.
