Upgrading to newest Dynamicweb version

 Hi

Our customer runs Dynamicweb version 18.15.1.1 with an Access database. We need to upgrade to the newest DW version and MSSQL server, how do we do this most easy. Especially migrating the data from the Access database to MSSQL?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ryan,

When running such an old version, I would recommend that you create a test-site that you upgrade, before upgrading the live-site. Especially if you have any custom-modules installed.

Regarding the access > Sql issue, there is a guide here that you might be able to use:

Hi Lars

Thank you for your help. I have already set up the site on our development server.

I have some problems with the Access --> MSSQL issue, when migrating as in above guide I get some errors, not all tables/data gets converted MSSQL.  So when i change the globalsettings.aspx to our MSSQL i get a partly blank site.

Furthermore I have problems accessing the backend of the solution. Theres no 18.15.1.1 version to download. I have download and used the 18.16.1.15 instead. Have worked, but after the weekend i get error:" \Admin\Application(18.16.1.15)\Application(18.16.1.15)\Admin\Default.aspx(29)
 : error BC30456: 'NewUI' is not a member of 'Dynamicweb.Gui'." the error appears whatever version i use. (see attachment)

Thanks again!

'NewUI' is not a member of 'Dynamicweb.Gui'."
 
Is this site installed as a custom solution? If so, you'll need to copy the Dynamicweb assemblies from the Admin's Bin folder to the Bin folder of your custom site as well.

In addition, try rerunning the update scripts. See step 12 at the end of this article: http://devierkoeden.com/articles/custom-modules-part-1-introduction.aspx

Cheers.

Are you sure the new test site is set up correctly? In all cases where I saw the "something is not a member of Dynamicweb.Something" error, it was related to a mismatch between /Admin and your main web site.

Cheers.
