Re: Move Site to New Server

Hi Joe,

I have good new.

We have the site up and running now and found the problem. Something I did not know is that you can not have a double dash within a comment which caused the connection problem.

The only thing we need to sort out now is a medium trust issue

This site appears to be running in a secured environment using Medium Trust policy or at least lower than Full Trust. 

Will see what I can find in the documentation re this issue.

Thanks one again for all your help.

Len

Re: Move Site to New Server

Hi Joe,

When upgrading from a previous version must all the file permissions be set to read/writeable and then only after upload is complete set the /App_Data and /Data folder to read/writeable only?

 

I am currently running MSSQL net35 on a  Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and would like to know what the implications are to upgrade to the new version 2.3.8.1 and start using MSSQL net40 on a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and what the correct procedure is to do this. 

 

Thanks once again

Re: Move Site to New Server

Hi Len,

The entire web site must have read permissions for the user that is the idnetity on th eapplicaiton pool and write permissiosn for the same user on /Data and /App_Data

Usually it is a different user ie the ftp user that is used to upload files and this is not the same as the user on the application pool that the site executes as. Usually the ftp user has full permissions so that you can upload files.

If you want to upgrade to the latest version, I would upgrade first keeping it as .NET 3.5, then change to a .NET 4 app pool and upload the .NET 4 version of mojoPortal. The Web.config file is different for  .NET 4 so once you switch you need to use the one in the .NET 4 package and resotre any customizations such as your machine key.

If you are moving to a different database you need to get a backup of the db and restore it on the new database server.

See:

Note that our packages for MS SQL are already pre-configured for medium trust so you don't have to do anything special to handle that.

Hope that helps,

Joe
