Upgrading a site to DNN 5

Upgrading DNN sites is always subjective. Here’s another story on how I’ve upgraded to DNN 5 and the steps taken. Enter at own risk. :-)

My DotNetNuke Upgrade from 4.3.4 to 4.4.1 with Catalook

Does the word ‘mission critical’ always run chills down the spine when thinking of upgrading?? Why can’t the mission critical upgrades behave as well as the ones I’m prepared to trash.

Just because it’s easy – doesn’t mean it’s fast

Or should that be.. Just because it’s fast, it doesn’t mean it’s easy. That’s the general thought of the day I’m having while we work on getting some projects out the door and they have taken longer.

Why you should upgrade to 3.3.5 & 4.3.5

I think the system/methods now of getting the DNN builds out to the benefactors is working with them getting access to the 3.3.5 & 4.3.5 builds for the last couple of weeks. It did see several reposts and rebuilds along the way- maybe 5, as they reported things back, other issues were discovered and final testing was underway. So, I believe in the next day or so, if not already there – a much needed and updated version of DNN is going to be available.

You better take that DNN Security Breach SERIOUSLY..

And I’ll tell you why – Last week my server was compromised by a module written by Richard Cox using the BDPDT layers. Quite a few of his modules use it, and it will NEVER be allowed on my server again, and when I show you just how far the server was compromised, you might want to check out your own server.
