Hello, its old case, already discussed here.

Issue with my platform persist, now I got more time and will to solve it... 
After upgrade 7.04.01 to 7.04.02 (or 8.0.4.226) there is logged following exception in *.log.resources:
2020-01-23 10:39:43,082 [xyz][Thread:17][ERROR] DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.Exceptions - System.Threading.ThreadAbortException: Thread was being aborted.
   at System.Threading.Thread.SleepInternal(Int32 millisecondsTimeout)
   at System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(Int32 millisecondsTimeout)
   at System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan timeout)
   at DotNetNuke.Services.Scheduling.Scheduler.CoreScheduler.RunEventSchedule(EventName eventName)
2020-01-23 10:39:43,175 [xyz][Thread:17][FATAL] DotNetNuke.Web.Common.Internal.DotNetNukeHttpApplication - System.Web.HttpException (0x80004005): Request timed out.

I believe, if i manage to use debugger and get exceptions details like eventName, it can help to solve it.
But I have experience only with creating/debugging c# winforms/console apps. 
Can someone give me brief instructions how to debug IIS process in server ? 

I got also idea to fresh-install latest version 9.4.4 and do Export Site Template in original platform and do "import" in new platform, but also failed with this :-(
a) when do export and "include files" it somehow fail and both template files are corrupted (xml incomplete, resource file should have around 4GB, but export only around 1GB size)
b) export without files done ok, but when I try import it in new platform, I got another exception (error parsing site template). It should probably tell me that some extension is missing, but it doesn't.
Any other workaround ?

The error message seems like a problem running a scheduled task. Does the site otherwise run and perform "normally"?

As for the second I wouldn't expect that a site export from 7.4.1 would import into 9.4.4. If it did I'd be amazed as the export/import functionality in 9.4.4 has been rewritten considerable, and I don't believe that there is backward compatibility. Besides, it seems that the export from 7.4.1 is what failed.

Again, the answer to the question about the error is the important one.

Site runs normally, but there are some exceptions in Event Viewer, which are:


Message:DataType "Boolean" is not installed.

or

Message:DataType "String" is not installed

or

Message:The argument 'contentItemId' cannot be negative. Parameter name: contentItemId
StackTrace:

   at DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs.TabChangeTracker.TrackModuleModification(ModuleInfo module, Int32 moduleVersion, Int32 userId)
   at DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.ModuleController.UpdateTabModuleOrder(Int32 tabId)

or

Message:Error rendering URLControl subcontrols.
StackTrace:

InnerStackTrace:

Unfortunatelly they don't say which module/page cause this.

There may be more information in the log4net files located in portals/_default/logs.

Maybe you could post the entire event view entry.

First two frequent exceptions have no useful information in log, just:
[code] 2020-01-29 05:45:54,394 [production][Thread:8][ERROR] DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.Exceptions - DotNetNuke.Modules.UserDefinedTable.UnknownDataTypeException: DataType "Boolean" is not installed. 2020-01-29 05:45:54,394 [production][Thread:10][ERROR] DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.Exceptions - DotNetNuke.Modules.UserDefinedTable.UnknownDataTypeException: DataType "String" is not installed. [/code]

Perhaps you need to update the Form and List module?

Is there a reason that you can't upgrade past 7.4.2? That would make sense for a great number of reasons.

I follow upgrade path that was suggested to me in the past. But even I tried upgrade directly to 8.0.4.226, it also ends with same Request timed out.

The request timed out item appears to be related to scheduled tasks. Look at the Scheduler page for more details. You should be able to determine, for example, which task is throwing the error.

Which version of DNN are you on now?
