we're having major issues upgrading to the 4.1 latest version (the one that came out 5/13).

After all the steps were followed, and the license activated, i get the following errors when i try to go to the live site.

when we go to the default page:

Server Error in '/' Application.

is there anything that can be done to fix it? we love the speed improvements, but if the main site can't get up and running it won't be upgrade time for a while :(

thanks in advance!

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your misfortunes. Can you tell me if you have any custom layouts or controls on your pages? Also I can suggest you is to take a look at this blog post which explains the changes in implementation of virtual path provider for Sitefinity 4.1.Please try following the suggested steps, and if the problem persists contact me again.

Kind regards,

Victor,

We are using regular custom user controls instead of server controls (in other words, we are not using the ref for the layout). I've gone through the blogposts and saw postings regarding that scenario, unfortunately it doesn't apply to us.

We are using our own master pages and our own custom controls (not the templated layout approach). What else can we try to get this upgrade to work?!

Thank you,
-A

Hi,

Do you have a copy of your website and database before the upgrade process? If you have such a copy you can send it to me so I can try and upgrade your project on our local environment.

Kind regards,
