Upgrading to 7.0.7 Dotnet 40 IIS7.5 Prep
Posted: Mon May 02, 2011 9:13 am
Hi,
I purchased the upgrade from version 7.0.6 to version 7.0.7.
My goal was also to upgrade to the version 4 DotNet framework with this upgrade.
Per the upgrade instructions, In short you have to copy the "/install/Framework/Net40/":
- Web.config file to the root of the website (make sure that it is named) web.config;
- AjaxControlToolkit.dll to the "Bin" folder;
- ComponentArt.Web.UI.dll to "Bin";
The instructions did not specifically mention that these files have to be copied into place, before you do the web based Upgrade procedure.
So, I first performed the upgrade procedure, and then copied these mentioned files shown above.
I found another article that actually mentiones that these files should be copied into their target folders before running the web based upgrade (install/upgrade.aspx).
So the sequence of the above steps already were performed in the incorrect order.
I copied these files to their target folders after the upgrade was performed.
Also during the upgrade I chose to upgrade to framework 3.5, since there wasn't an option to upgrade to version 4.0.
The instructions mention preparing the website for the new version of the framework, but does not mention the steps involved in preparing the website for the upgrade.
I assumed these steps to prepare the website for the upgrade:
I set the app pool to be framework 4.0 Classic, for both my local "Default Website" and the actual web application.
I opened up the website solution in VS 2010, and set the target framework to be 4.0.
I made sure that the two new "Dll" files mentioned above, old references was dropped and re-added the new "dll" file references.
Now I get sercular reference issues.
When trying to run the site by browsing to the localhost, I get the error that the Able Commerce "HTTP" module is not configured.
I would appreciate it if someone can point me to the steps to acomplish the goal of:
#1 upgrading this site correctly from version 7.0.6 to 7.0.7
#2 The steps to prepare the website in iis 7 to point to framework 4.0.
#3 If I should restore my db and code and start over or if I can fix the current state in another way.
Any help in this regard will be appreciated.
