Okay, I've tried twice upgrading my site to the 2008 beta with the included upgrade utility. Both times, it gets all the way to the end (Step 6 area) and waits for a while before coming back with a dialog box saying a timeout has occured and then the app closes. If I check the upgrade log, this is...

Before I do something incorrect, I thought I'd ask: In the upgrade "WALKTHROUGH" instructions, in step 4 (Copy all web files for Community Server 2008 into the location of your current version of Community Server. This must occur before you run the upgrade tool.) , I assume this means...

To upgrade the photos you must do two things: 1) Move the filestorage folder from your Upgrader folder to your site root folder. 2) Make sure users have permission to see the image files. I did step 1, and I thought that if the files were there, there must be some problem with the configuration. I didn't...

I got the following email after upgrading my site: You have friendships that are awaiting confirmation at The Austrian Network Please visit the My Friends page of your profile to approve these requests. I see where to approve friends, but user/MyFriends.aspx doesn't exist, so it shows a...

Go to http://mises.org/Community/blogs/ See how the most recent post is from "03-05-2008"? If I sign in, the most recent post is now from "Wed, Apr 2 2008." I can now see all the posts since March 5th. Both the date format and the recent blog list are now correct. I am guessing that...

Hi, After upgrading to CS 2008 Beta2 (following the instructions in the Upgrade readme file), we are getting errors when selecting the Hawaii theme. This is the error: The given key was not present in the dictionary. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the...

Hi, I've upgraded from CS 2007 professional to 2008 using the upgrade tool (CS2008_4.0.30414.1743.upgrade.zip), but now I'm not recognised. Do I need to re-install the windows authentication module? If so is there a new version of this? Also the upgraded site now has a logo "Community...

I have the same issue with the upgrade utility, when it gets to the last step (move existing files into centralized storage): "An error occurred during the upgrade process: The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters,...

Using the Web Installer, I've upgraded my database twice. My first pass took a few tries to get everything setup correctly, but then I restored the database and re-ran the migration. Currently, my website doesn't come up. It just shows the followinng error. I've searched the forums for...

On step 6 of the installation process I keep getting the same error: This is our development server and there are only a few files to be moved (<50) from any of these directories. The system is MS Server 2003 R2 SP2 with IIS7. I get the error even if I remove all of the files and leave...

I ran into an interesting problem with the Community Server upgrade application today. I followed the instructions up to the final part of the upgrade app and it proceeded to die shortly after starting Step 1: Apply Schema Patches. Running the upgrade app subsequent times ended up with the exact same...

Before putting CS2008 into production, I want to update a few internal sites first to make sure we can work out all the kinks in advance. (Already discovered that we need to redo the theme. sigh ) The UpgradeNotes.txt file in the upgrade ZIP file has a rather oddly phrased final instruction: 13...

I have version 3.0.30611.960 and I want to upgrade. I can't find a release notes or anything that just gives me a list of the versions as a place to start. I've made a number of custom changes to my site in various .config files. I'd like to use the upgrade tool, http://docs.communityserver...

At step 4 (remove virtualization) I got the following error duing my upgrade to CS2008. I would appreciate any advice. 5/27/2008 12:56:18 AM -- EXCEPTION: The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK__aspnet_Profile__aspnet_Users". The conflict occurred in database...

I have been trying to upgrade to CS 2008 without success. As part of my testing I decided to do a clean install of CS 2008 rather than an upgrade - just as a temporary test. With the clean install, I'm getting this error. The Janrain.OpenId DLL is present in the bin folder. How can I resolve this...

My CS 2008 database is missing all permissions for stored procedures. In the properties > permissions pane for every stored procedure I have checked, the permissions are blank. (Not even public is granted any permissions.) This is true for both a clean install as well as for my upgraded database...

Just upgraded from CS2007 to CS2008, the upgrade went smoothly but I'm unable to create any groups. Any ideas anyone? Here's the error: Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about...

Hi everyone. Just upgraded from CS2007->CS2008 and now I'm unable to publish blogs using Windows Live Writer (MetaBlog API). The CS event log is reproduced below. Any clues anyone? --Tim User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; Windows Live Path: /blogs/metablog.ashx...

After backing out a prior upgrade and re-upgrading this weekend, and fixing a few problems left over from the upgrade, I have now actually managed to create a group. However, I cannot create a second group and I cannot go into the already created group - the exception is reproduced below. Is anyone else...

I am currently running Community Server 2008 Beta 1 Version 4.0.30204 purely for internal use. I want to upgrade this to the RTM version of 2008, but can find no tool that allows me to migrate the content across to a new installation. I have a considerable amount of content in all the blogs and I...

Is there any issues with this? I only use the site for 1 domain, private family and do not see the need for the cost of 2008 Pro. We have less than 15 picture groups, and that was my only concern. Thanks

I have a 2.1 install can someone tell me the exact sequence of sql scripts I need to run to get my 2.1 database to a 2008 database. Thanks

Any updates, cause i have the exact same issue?

Hi all, We're considering using CS2008 for a client and would like to start with a Pro Edition installation. Will it be possible to switch from a Pro edition to an Enterprise edition without losing modifications, settings, etc? Cheers, Jeroen

Hi all, I was running the upgrade tool and everything was going sweet, no problems at all. At the last step (file storage) I took a peek at the log to see for how long it was on that step and dumb enough I used notepad. After a while the setup tool aborted complaining about the log file being...
