Simple check list to upgrade older version of DNN to DNN 4.41 or DNN 4.5
- Backup Database, Backup All Files (in case for recovery)
- Rename web.config -> oldweb.config
- Extract DNN4.5 installation files over current installation (overright if file exists)
- Delete web.config, Rename release.config -> web.config
- Open web.config and oldweb.config in Text Editor (VS2005 prefer)
- Copy "SiteSqlServer" line under <connectionStrings> from old to new
- Copy "SiteSqlServer" line under <appSettings> from old to new
- Copy "InstallationDate" line under <appSettings> from old to new
- Copy "machineKey" line under <system.web> from old to new
