I was able to get my dev site to upgrade from 494 to 512 without any problem, but my production site was another story. After the initial NTForums sp error, the upgrade worked perfect, but then I could not login normally. Eventually with lots of work i could make a new login page and specify that in the admin settings, and it worked, but i don't trust it.

One thing I noticed is that the language was set to english/us by default in 495, but when i did the upgrade to 512 the language was not set to anything. This caused problems with creating the login page for some reason.

I spent a lot of time trying to get this to work, and I realize what a cluster of @#$# this is for DNN - trying to do support properly would kill them, but but it seems like it could be a little better. There is no way to suss out all the different crap modules people could install - or worse hack together on their own. No one replied to my post on the dnn forum for help with the login part - course i thought it was a skin problem (and still sort of do) so maybe I labeled the post wrong.

The upgrade to 495 was a piece of cake.

Will, thanks for sharing your experience with v5. After spending entire weekend with failure after failure we’re glad to hear we can wait a little longer.

Which menu is this?

Here is what I did. Not sure if it was the two step process or what. I did a DNN 4.9.4 to DNN 5.0.0 upgrade. When I did this, I copied in the new files and browsed the site. It just kept processing the page so I let it run for about 15 minutes and then the page stopped and nothing was there.

Then I tried to browse the /install/install.aspx?mode=upgrade and let that run until the page actually came back with the DNN upgrade results. They were all a Success. Then I had a DNN 5.0.0 site that was functioning fine.

So I copied in the DNN 5.1.2 files in and browsed the site. I let it run about the same length of time and it finally came back with a blank page. I looked in the db and saw the version was 5.1.2. I got off the server and browsed the site on my workstation and it came up. I logged in as host and did not have any errors. I noticed that I only had the single Google Analytics module on the site, whereas when I did the single upgrade all the way to 5.1.2 I got the errors on every page and had two version of Google Analytics on the site.

I cannot say exactly what the best direction should be. But I know that I just waited until the page stopped processing totally before trying anything else. And like I said, it took around 15 minutes. On the other upgrades to DNN 5.1.2 I did them in one step and they worked fine. So I would say to be persistent and always have good backups.

namely a better, lighter weight unordered list menu solution which makes styling DNN nav far easier and much more flexible than SolPart or DNNNav

Which menu is this?

It's in 5.x...core.

I have it working on some of the skin screenshots I sent you a while back.  Very nice and clean.

Has anyone who has had the following errors when upgrading from 4.9.X to 5.1.X been able to come up with a solution? If so, what did you do?

I used the script Will provided and was able to execute it without any problems but have not been able to get a clean upgrade/install. I get the following error when attempting..

I have this issue and I am trying to delete the stored procedure.  Using the script that Will provided does not seem to work as I can still see the stored procedure using the following SQL Query:

select * from sys.procedures where (name = 'NTForums_GetForumsByGroup2')

I am currently running on DNN version 4.8.4.

Cheers
Dave

Just figured it out. I went straight to the schema and used the drop procedure command.

Cheers
