Changing .NET Version from 2.0 - 4

[gdelorey@mitcs.com]

Hi -

We have a client site running on AC 7.0.7 and .NET framework 2.0. We're in the process of migrating all of our sites to new servers at Rackspace, and I wanted to find out if it's possible to configure the new site to run on .NET 4.0 by just changing the app pool settings. Any issues in doing this? Part of this comes from the bug with IE10 and orders failing - I installed the hotfix for 64-bit servers and .NET 4.0, however, when I tried to install the hotfix for 2.0 it said it was not applicable for our server so I figured it would be a good time to go up to the new framework.

Here is the bug article I referenced: http://help.ablecommerce.com/index.htm# ... _ie_10.htm

Thanks,
Greg

Hello Greg,

I'm sorry for the trouble you had using our help site documentation. We thought that the fix for .Net 2.0 would work, but we need to double check the information provided.

Anyway, if you want to upgrade AbleCommerce to .Net 4.0, you will need to locate the original installation file. There will be an \install\Framework\NET40\ folder that contains 3 files. One will be a new web.config which needs to replace the one you have in the root folder. The other 2 files are DLLs and need to go in the \Bin\ folder.

In our recommended FAQ for moving an installation -

You would install a new copy of AC on the server and move only the files necessary. During installation, the correct version of .NET is automatic.

Thanks,
Katie
