Greetings,

I am currently running DNN v10.03.01 and am preparing to upgrade to v10.03.02. I previously had success upgrading to v10.03.01 by uploading the Install package through the PersonaBar UI, but I want to verify the best approach for this next step.

I have two quick questions:

1. Package Type: Should I use the Install package or the Upgrade package for this specific version bump?

2. Configuration Settings: Which of the following parameters need to be changed to "true" to facilitate the upgrade?

   • "AllowDnnUpgradeUpload" value="false"

   • "AutoUpgrade" value="false"

   • "UseInstallWizard" value="false"

Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Best,

Roy

1. Yes, from now on the Intall package zip is the correct one to use (for the new upgrade process, 10.2.0+). 

2. I would leave those as is (defaults). Though I believe you want AllowDnnUpgradeUpload to true so the Upload button appears. Though you can leave it false and just copy the zip package to your <code>/App_Data/Upgrade</code> folder. The other two settings continue to do what they always did, and thats more about your own personal preference.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

I went ahead and tried that approach: I used the PersonaBar UI with the Install zip and set AllowDnnUpgradeUpload to "true". The file copy completed successfully, but when I clicked to start the upgrade, it later threw a 404 error: "Not Found - The requested document was not found on this server."

I will need to investigate the cause of this later. In the meantime, I have successfully restored my system from a backup.

Thanks again.

Resolution: Issue fixed. The root cause was traced to manual modifications (fiddling) in the web.config file. Thank you for the prior guidance.

Deployment Details:

• Method: PersonaBar UI (DNN_Platform_10.03.02_Install.zip)

• Active Settings:

  • AllowDnnUpgradeUpload "true"

  • AutoUpgrade "false"

  • UseInstallWizard "true"
