I am so frustrated with this upgrade. I am about to just say forget it as it seems impossible to upgrade from 3.92 to 4.00.

Behind every great fortune lies a crime.

The empty SiteAccess limitations are the result of a fix in the 3.6 series. The siteaccess names are actually stored as checksums and there was an issue with checksum calculation on 64-bit systems. The side-effect of the fix is that checksums are recalculated so your siteaccesses end up being different than those you picked.

There is a related ini setting in site.ini. I believe it's 64bitCompatibilityMode under [SiteSettings]. Setting it to disabled might help as long as you don't migrate to a 64-bit system, but it may already be too late.

We did an upgrade from 3.6.12 to 4.0 on Monday without any problems. But that upgrade path does require careful planning, testing and enough time and documentation. I tested the complete upgrade path 3 times before doing it on the live site and it really paid off.

Brian,

It's far from impossible to go from 3.9.2 to 4.0, it's pretty easy in fact. I've done it this morning :-) I skipped 3.10 and moved to 4.0 right away. The nice URL update script in 4.0 is better anyway and the only script I needed from 3.10 was an update for the ISBN datatype (which runs flawlessly on 4.0). The other scripts did not apply to that particular site, but I'm quite sure they run on 4.0 too. You do need the 3.9.0-to-3.10.0 database update before doing the 3.10.0-4.0.0 update.

Hi there,

This week I have started the upgradation from 3.6.1 to 4.0.0. Public and Admistration sites are working fine.

Successfully done first step without any errors which is 3.6.1 to 3.8.0

Following are few things which seems not correct:

1. Setup -> Packages

There are no packages matching the selected repository.

2. In the Design -> Look and feel -> Sitestyle is totally empty. No presence of thumbnail. In the locations on the same page there are two locations for the Template look class instead of one location:

2.1 Design (which is fine).

2.2 Setup (I dont know why this is coming).

Hope someone can help me..

Cheers.

Smith
