DNN Articles

I have been answering a large number of questions regarding upgrading from DotNetNuke 4.3.5 to 4.4.1 and have created this document to outline the process to complete the upgrade. Please note that I am not responsible for any data loss or corruption that might result from an unsuccessful upgrade of DotNetNuke. Also, even though this tutorial is guided towards users of 4.3.5 this should work for any 4.x version to upgrade to 4.4.1, the upgrade process for 3.x users is NOT the same.

As I mentioned on my homepage I have upgraded this site to DotNetNuke 4.4.1. Overall this was a very smooth process as the actual upgrade went off without ANY problems!  For those of you not aware, when you are upgrading a DNN site you can place an app_offline.htm file in the root of your DNN Location and it will take your application offline.  This is a VERY important feature for those of us with slow upload speeds to our web hosts!!
