Oh yeah, if there is code in the App_Code folder, then you need to remove their references from the web.config too. It was something like something something

Just copied the upgrade files and I got this new error

Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

This normally occurs because the version of the file in the Bin folder is newer than what's defined in the web.config.  If the website indeed had 2sxc on it, then this is expected.  

In order to resolve this error message, you'll just need to update the DLL version binding in the web.config file. 

1. Find the NewtonSoft.Json.dll file in the Bin folder and right-click on it.  Under details, you'll find the version of it (e.g., 10.0.3.21018).
2. Find and open the web.config in the root folder where the website files are.  
3. Find the section that contains runtime > assemblyBinding > dependentAssembly tags.
4. Look for a tag that looks like the example below, and make sure the newVersion number matches the major version of the NewtonSoft.Json.dll you have.

I see that already there

i was able to bypass the newtonsoft.json error and once I got to the upgrade screen it hangs at
Installing Package File DNNCE_FolderProviders_09.03.01_Install

I tried to extract the upgrade content again but that was no go. guess i have to restore back db and files

anyone knows what caused the upgrade to hang

Did you bypass the error or did you start the upgrade from scratch? (which can sometimes  help)

 

 

i fix the newtonsoft in web config when prompt to upgrade it hang during process and i tried extracting the upgrade files again and no luck only get blank screen

im going to try from scratch again using prvious backups

May be caused by this https://github.com/dnnsof...n.Platform/pull/2746 which was included with Platform 9.3.2 but not yet available in Evoq as far as I know at time of writing.

this is resolved thank you eveyone
