Upgrade from 3.9 to 4.0 - Stuck on Install Screen

Hi,

I am upgrading my site from 3.9 to 4.0, as I have done with multiple versions in the past. I copied the old settings.txt file into the App_Data folder of my site, which has the new files for 4.0. However, when I try to navigate to my site, I get stuck on the installation screen. I am wondering, with all of the changes made in 4.0, is perhaps more work involved that I am missing? Does the file need to go in some other location?

Thanks,
I. Kinal

settings.txt replaced by

dataSettings.json file

Sample Json in dataSettings.json file ==>

{
  "DataProvider": "sqlserver",
  "DataConnectionString": "Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=nop4.00;Integrated Security=False;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=sa;Password=123",
  "RawDataSettings": {}
}

You have to create file called dataSettings.json

There's no need to create it manually. The old Settings.txt file is automatically converted into dataSettings.json during the first visit to 4.00

Great! Thanks.

I think I loaded the site once before I copied the file over, which is probably why the conversion did not happen.

At any rate, I got it working now.

Thanks,

Hi All,

I have an odd issue after the upgrade...

1)I placed all existing files into a back up folder on the server (_backup)

2)I copied all the files across from the unzipped file for 4.0 onto the root of my domain

3)I ran the Sql Database migration script

4)I added the settings file into App_Data

However, when I browse to the page it loads some elements but not others, and when I attempt to log in, the page reloads but does not log me in.

Any ideas on what could have happened?
