    Downgrading from 4.7.1.1 to 4.7

    Hi All

    I'm downgrading from 4.7.1.1 to 4.7, after finding that the automatic timeout did'nt work in the backoffice, I spent hours looking into it and starting a fresh install of 4.7.1.1 but still did'nt fix it, so decided to downgrade as I know 4.7 works.

    So far in the downgrade I copied the following 4.7 folders over:

    -bin
    -umbraco
    -umbraco_client

    When I try to run the site I get a error:

    The resource cannot be found

    Requested URL: /install/default.aspx

    Obviously umbraco's looking for the install directory as if it's a fresh install, where is the setting to tell it it's an existing site ie don't look for install folder, is it in the db or on a config file somewhere?


    Many Thanks

    Hi Pete,

    In your Web.config, check the version number of the "umbracoConfigurationStatus" appSettings key.

    Having a different value (from the one in the Umbraco assemblies) will trigger the installer to load.

    Cheers, Lee.

    ... or you drop in the /install/ directory, click Next a couple of times and Umbraco will sort itself out.

    Thanks lee, was just posting a reply to that extent, adding the key umbracoConfigurationStatus fixed it, however now all my xlst's say "Error parsing XSLT file".

    Edit:

    Argh, looks like I messed the installed packages up. I uninstalled a couple of them whilst trying to fix the downgrade issue, i'll try reinstalling them and then uninstalling.

    Hi Pete,

    Try adding "?umbDebugShowTrace=true" to the end of the URL... then scroll down to see what the error(s) say.

    Cheers, Lee.
