Hello,

We have already done a project on sitefinity using 3.7 framework.Now,we want to convert it into 4.2 framework.We have done the
following:

a)copied the Migrationservice.svc file to the root of our website EvolvedMe.

b)copied the Telerik.Sitefinity.Migration.dll and Telerik.Sitefinity.MigrationContracts.dll to the /bin folder of website.

c)Edited the web.config file according to the instructions given in the dashboard of the sitefinity4.2 website.

d)entered the sitefinity3.7 project URL.

But after entering the URL a message is showing that the connection is failed.

Now,Please tell me how can I get out of this problem?

Thanks & Regards,
Suman

Suman,

Try accessing the migration service directly on the 3.7 site by going to yoursite/.../MigrationService.svc after you've uploaded the svc file. This should show you an error (if you have CustomErrors off in web.config) if there is a problem with the 3.7 configuration.

If the page loads correctly (it should look like the attached image) there might be a problem with the 4.2 site communicating with the 3.7 site. In that case, check the error log inside the app_data folder of the 4.2 site for more information.
