" Redirect found in application configuration file: 5.4.4000.0 redirected to 6.0.4210.0."

Check the webconfig.  There's a binding redirect point to 6.0.4210.0, change that to 6.1.4300.0

You have an assembly binding redirect in your web.config which is point to 6.0.4210.0 instead on 6.1.4300.0.  Looks like you are using the Sitemap Generator plugin.  Here are my redirects for my 6.1 site using the Sitemap Generator.

Thank you, Jonathan! It worked!

Great glad to hear!

Jonathan, maybe you also know how to make pdfs searchable. One of my sitefinity based site searches inside of all the pdfs that reside in the library. It also gives the urls of the webpages and the name of the file (pdf) on it if you are searching them by name.

The site I'm having trouble with does none of those  - can't search the pdf by name and can't search inside of them. The checkmark for the documents search is in place.

Check out this post.  Seems the indexing the contents of a PDF is not supported.  Although indexing the name(s) should be working.  Make sure in Administration > Modules & Services there are not issues with the Libraries module.  On each of the 3 or 4 upgrades I've done the libraries module had to be installed or reinstalled.

Jonathan, they support since version 5.1 - see this post

Hello,



Yes PDF file contents are searchable in sitefintiy 5.1

on that page www.sitefinity.com/.../2

More over, my other two sites that also run in 6.1 do search inside pdfs. It's like something in my site (the one where the engine is not working) that prevents the docs from searching. I may have to follow your advice and just disable and then unable the library module. Hope it will not affect the library in any way.

Missed the second page there. Sorry about that, thanks for pointing that out!

Thanks, Jonathan! We just upgraded to SF 7.2.5300.0 and the redirects you posted solved our issue as well!
