1. Backed up 1.30 files from server 2. deleted all files on the server 3. Uploaded all v. 1.40 files to server 4. Replaced ConnectionStrings.xml with old ConnectionStrings.xml
I did not make any changes to the sql server database and hoped that my data stored there would be intact.
This is the error that I get if i use the nopcommerse installation wizard:
The installer couldn't update the ConnectionStrings.config file on your server. This may be caused by limited file system permissions. Please open your ConnectionStrings.config file manually in Notepad and add the following line inside the <connectionStrings></connectionStrings>:
After editing the connection string manually the website looks like this: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://infoappz.com/ErrorPage.htm?aspxerrorpath=/default.aspx

The only thing that I did not change during the upgrade was the SQL database. Could that be the problem? Did you add anything to the new database that would require that you set up a new database?
I tried to make a new database and then use the nopcommerce installation wizard to fill out the empty database and get this error on installation page 3: Upgrade script from your version is not available?
I had the bright orange theme installed in v. 1.30. Brightorange is not available in 1.4 so how will I fix this error?

I guess it is not solved yet. After logging in to the admin area the admin area menu shows the value instead of the language translation. Obviously there have been made changes to the database in v. 1.40. I have made changes to my old database and don't want to start from scratch again. How will i merge a new nop 1.40 database with my old one?
