TodayI had to upgrade an old DNN 3.2.2 multiportal installation to DNN 4.8.1. There are 3 major areas that changed in the past DotNetNuke versions:
New contstraints and unique indexes on Files table
DNN Membership provider
Consolidation of http handlers in one assembly
In order to smoothly pass the third change, I always do a 2-step upgrade. First to DNN 4.5.5, then to the last available version, 4.8.1 in this case. The consolidation of http handlers happened in DNN 4.6.0.
When upgrading...
